What is TIP Treatment?
The goal is simple: food without fear, life without limits.
The Tolerance Induction Program® (TIP) is a food allergy treatment designed to end food allergies, not manage them. Using natural foods, extensive patient data, and individualized treatment, TIP safely and gradually retrains the immune system, empowering patients to safely eat the foods they were once severely allergic to.
No more avoidance. No more restrictions.
A non-allergic life.
Embark On Your Food Freedom Journey

Make every meal a "safe" meal. A future without food allergies awaits.

Frequently Asked
Questions
-
Where is the Food Allergy Institute (FAI) located? Are appointments in person?
In-person appointments at one of our California locations are required throughout treatment. Our program is specifically tailored to meet the needs of families who travel, welcoming patients from different parts of the country to international patients from around the globe.
The number of in-person visits may vary depending on the individual’s custom plan and the patient’s location. However, patients typically visit our clinic four to six times a year.
-
Is TIP a pill or an allergy shot? How is TIP different than what my local allergist offers?
The Tolerance Induction Program® (TIP) is not a one-size-fits-all pill or an allergy shot. TIP uses real, natural foods to treat patients through a personalized, data-driven approach.
Unlike local allergists who introduce allergens on day one, TIP begins by safely escalating “similar” food proteins—non-allergenic proteins that mimic the structure of the allergen without triggering a reaction. This teaches the immune system to tolerate allergens over time, significantly reducing the risk before direct exposure occurs.
The Food Allergy Institute is the world’s most comprehensive food allergy treatment center, uniting researchers, data scientists, allergy experts, and clinicians to deliver unmatched care and support throughout every stage of your child’s treatment. No other program offers TIP’s level of precision, quality, or results—at this scale.
-
Who is eligible for TIP treatment?
The Tolerance Induction Program® (TIP) is available for qualifying patients between the age of 18 months – 25 years old. This includes patients with severe and multiple food allergies and pre-existing conditions.
We welcome virtually all food allergy cases. Though the average treatment length may be longer for patients with comorbidities or pre-existing conditions, this does not prevent a child from being a candidate for TIP.
