About Allison

Hi! I’m Allison McKenzie, a registered dietitian from South Louisiana, where food is not just delicious, it’s deeply meaningful. Growing up around rich food traditions sparked my passion for cooking and understanding how food impacts the body. I specialize in oncology nutrition, with full-time experience in a cancer treatment center, but I also work with clients on a wide range of goals; from weight management and general health to building sustainable habits and improving your relationship with food. Being from the South, I know how important cultural foods are, and I’m all about creating balanced, realistic plans that include the foods you love. No extremes and no judgment. I provide evidence-based care and support tailored to you.

Approach to care

I take a whole-person approach to nutrition, focusing on what works best for you. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all plan meaning you don’t need to start loving quinoa, avocados, or whole grain pasta to eat well. A balanced diet can look different for everyone, and I’m here to help you find what feels realistic, sustainable, and enjoyable for your lifestyle. Above all, I lead with a patient-first mindset. I’ll always take the time to listen, understand your goals, and support you without judgment.

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 barriers 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!
