About Alison
Hi! I'm Alison Kovich, originally from Dayton, Ohio and now happily settled in South Carolina. My academic path through various states [OH>KY>FL>NC>PA>LA>SC] shaped both my career and passion for Functional and Integrative Nutrition. After navigating late-stage Lyme Disease, I found purpose in supporting others facing complex conditions. I've counseled Veterans at the Columbia VA in areas such as Diabetes, Oncology, GI Health, Kidney Disease, Liver Disease, Heart Disease, and Weight Management. I previously served families through the WIC Program in Miami-Dade Florida, where I developed a deep love for Maternal and Pediatric Nutrition. I am also a proud dog mom to Delilah, my sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Approach to care
My approach to care is Holistic, taking into account the unique layers to each individual. We will focus on Nutrition, sleep, physical activity, and establishing healthy behavior changes in a judgement free zone. I use Motivational Interviewing for my counseling style and Nutrition therapy is rooted in evidence based research.
Your first session with Alison
Together, we will explore your nutrition, social, and medical history using assessments and available labs. We will talk through your goals, past experiences, and craft reliastic, time-based changes that feel sustainable. There will be regular check ins, and adjustments will be made to goals as necessary to keep progress on track.
