Lindsay Schultz

Since 2013, Lindsay's family has navigated 8+ categories of food allergies daily. Today she and her husband are raising 3 kids with different sets of food allergies, asthma and eczema. Their children have experienced anaphylaxis more than once and it is terrifying. In the early days of navigating food allergies, leaving the house safely seemed very overwhelming. The thought of living a 'normal' life seemed impossible. Tapping into her psychology and coaching background, she gradually flipped the script away from fear towards possibilities, viewing food allergies as the teacher. Lindsay left a successful 14-year career at Google (nearly 20 years total in marketing) to follow this passion of unlocking possibilities for pairing growth mindset strategies with food allergies. Over and over again, food allergies have shaped lessons about resiliency, creative problem solving, strong communication skills, teamwork, patience, gratitude, empathy and building confidence. Her kids are participating fully in their chosen hobbies and live their lives fully. They have learned to restrict their food, but never their fun. Today Lindsay is teaching food allergy facts to different communities, along with how to properly advocate and be allies for the food allergy community. Her family's food allergy journey is ongoing and the struggles have become blessings in disguise. Feed Your Can is a lifestyle brand aimed at empowering people living with food restrictions to embrace adventures and live their lives fully. Food and fun CAN coexist. With life hacks and mind snacks, learning to embrace adventures is part of the process. You are not what you eat. You're much more than that. Learn how to feed your can...when some foods, you just can't.
