FREE WEBINAR - Alpha-Gal Syndrome — The Allergy You’ve Never Heard Of (But Should Know About)

  • Webinar
  • Wednesday, January 28, 2026
Details:

What if your patient’s mystery symptoms stemmed from a food allergy… eaten days ago? Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is a stealthy, tick-induced allergy to a sugar molecule found in red meat and countless hidden ingredients across our food and drug supply.
 
Cases are rising rapidly—especially in the South, Midwest, and mid-Atlantic—yet few educators and health professionals are equipped to recognize or manage it. Join us for a webinar designed to pull back the curtain on this emerging public health threat.
 
You’ll learn what AGS is, how it’s triggered, why it’s so tricky to diagnose, and most importantly—how dietitians and community experts can play a pivotal role in guiding patients through a surprisingly mammal-filled food landscape. Tick bites may trigger the allergy, but your expertise could change a patient’s life.
 
Let’s close the knowledge gap. Let’s lead the way.
