Year Graduated: 2006
Areas of expertise: Families, children, and young adults.

Eating nutritiously is confusing and contradictory at best. Instead of focusing on “good” and “bad” foods or finding the perfect diet . . .think about how your lifestyle, belief system, and attitude impact your eating habits. It’s Allison’s intention to help you understand how your relationship with food affects your body, emotions, and health concerns. You’ll go beyond what to eat and learn how to nourish yourself completely.
