About

Welcome to How to Not Die – a compilation of useful information for those of us navigating life with food allergies, rare conditions, and other “plot twists” the body likes to throw our way.

Eating out, taking medicine, traveling with family, or even grabbing a coffee can feel like running an obstacle course when allergens and hidden ingredients hide in unexpected places. This site is here to shine a light on hidden dangers, to share resources, and to make the world a little easier to navigate for those of us who have to ask to speak to the chef and need to read every label twice.

The name may be cheeky, but the goal is simple: survival.

I’m Lauren

Welcome to How2NotDie.com. I created this little corner of the internet to be a helpful resource to anyone who’s had questions about Ehlers Danlos, Mast Cells, or Connective Tissue. Whether for providers whom have questions about their patients or for patients that have felt dismissed, misunderstood, or not taken seriously by providers- I want this site to provide answers to questions and peace to chaos. Here, I invite you to join me in compiling, learning, and sharing all of the things that make zebras, well, zebras!
