About Allison
Hi, I'm Allison Alvarado, a weight-inclusive registered dietitian! My main focus as a registered dietitian is to provide compassionate care to everyone, regardless of their weight or body size. I help people find peace with food and their bodies - without the dieting, restriction, or rigid rules of fad diets. I enjoy seeing a wide variety of clients, but especially enjoy helping clients with all things related to gut health, intuitive eating, or body image recovery. I can't wait to help you on your journey!
Approach to care
My approach to care centers on intuitive eating and mindfulness, helping clients foster a positive relationship with food and their bodies. I focus on empowering individuals to honor their hunger cues and embrace body diversity. My mission is to create a supportive space for sustainable, health-focused habits that make sense for you and your lifestyle.
Your first session with Allison
Your first session is all about you! I want to get to know you as a person, including your likes, dislikes, history with dieting, and your goals for working together. We will talk about your current relationship to food, past dieting history, and any relevant medical or lifestyle information you'd like to share. It's totally okay to be nervous or unsure at your first visit. I will do my best to make you as comfortable as possible and provide a judgment-free space.
