About Allison

Hi! My name is Allison McKenize and I am a registered dietitian from south Louisiana! We have delicious food here, so I’ve always had an interest in cooking, healthy eating, and how food plays a role in the body. Being from the south, I know that there are many foods that are important to us, so I really work on being able to keep those cultural foods in a daily diet, yet staying healthy. My specialty is cancer treatment and survivorship, since I work full time in a cancer treatment center! Also, I do have a wealth of knowledge regarding cancer prevention. I love what I do and I want to reach more people to teach how to eat a well balanced diet!

Approach to care

I look at the whole person and figure out what would work best for them! Diet is not a “one size fits all” approach, so I do not expect everyone to start liking quinoa, avocados, and whole grain pasta. There are different approaches to make for a well-balanced diet and that truly depends on the individual themself. I will ways take a patient-first approach and really listen.

Your first session with Allison

Expect to get to know me more and ways that I can help to fit into your lifestyle. My goal is to get to know you as well and figure out what Barrie’s you may have that could prevent you from reaching your goal. I will ask questions geared towards what it is that you expect and decide on a game plan on how to help you!
