Alysha Broughton

About Alysha

I am a Chef, Registered Dietitian, and Director of Nutrition Services who specializes in culinary nutrition and nutrition counseling for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This is my second year as the Race, Equity, Access, Diversity+ Inclusion Taskforce Facilitator at my non-profit organization. I also serve as the Sponsorship Chair for the Behavioral Health Nutrition Dietetic Practice Group. With my culinary background, I have also worked with restaurateurs as a Recipe and Menu Developer.

Approach to care

I make nutrition accessible by providing practical applications for the scientific information provided. This includes recipes, pictures, and detailing the personal significance of the modification. I am dedicated to providing resources and education to increase engagement in the nutrition counseling and overall healthcare process.

Your first session with Alysha

People should expect to answer many questions about their habits, likes, and dislikes. The first session should be focused on getting to know your goals for counseling, as well as your preferred style of help. Do you like reminders? Do you have questions that need answering? Do you need recipe suggestions? I am here to assist you along your journey with nutrition.
