About Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson, MD, MBE, FAAP
Dr. Swanson is a pediatrician and Chief Medical Officer for SpoonfulONE. Dr. Swanson leads efforts to foster conversations with clinicians and parents around the importance of early and consistent inclusion of potential allergens in the diet.

A graduate in Psychology from Kenyon College, Dr. Swanson earned her MD and MBE (Master’s in Bioethics) at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School Of Medicine and then completed her residency at Seattle Children’s Hospital with the University of Washington.

Dr. Nadeau has spent her entire career working to disrupt and transform the food allergy space, and her vision for SpoonfulONE was simple: to make multi-allergen introduction easy and safe for parents.
