About Alison

I am so glad that you’re here! My name is Ali Collins and I am a Registered Dietitian located in of Boone, North Carolina. My passion for nutrition began at a young age, cooking and preparing new recipes with family and friends. Nutrition has turned into a career that’s greater than I could have ever imagined! I moved to Washington, DC in 2021 and worked at a psychiatric facility specializing in disordered eating and taste/flavor aversions in both men and women. I moved back to my college town in 2022 and have been here ever since! Currently I practice primarily in oncology nutrition, cardiopulmonary rehab nutrition, diabetes education, and weight management. I am so excited for what’s to come and to work with you!

Approach to care

My approach to care is very individualized and tailored to your personal needs. I follow a patient centered structure and hope that we are able to collaborate to create a plan to assist you in reaching your goals. I believe nutrition is much more than fueling our bodies - it is family time, sharing our culture, creating a lifestyle that we are proud of and so much more. I hope that together we are able to create a safe space around foods that is all inclusive but allows you to become your favorite version of yourself!

Your first session with Alison

In your first session, I hope to get to know you not only as a patient but as a person. My goal is to understand your lifestyle as a whole so I am able to assist you in creating lifestyle changes that best suit your day to day. We will work together to create attainable goals that will eventually turn into habits. I hope that we end our session and you feel more empowered and optimistic about your health than ever!
