Seeking to Uncover Every Opportunity to Support Yourself after a Cancer Diagnosis?
You've asked your medical team "What else can I do?", but were left with little or no direction of how you can support your body during treatment and/or into survivorship.
You're frustrated, overwhelmed, and confused with the conflicting information available regarding nutrition, lifestyle, and cancer.
Although you know there are no guarantees, you're willing to do everything you can to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and leave no stone unturned.
Cancer sucks. And although you may have a supportive system around you, you don't have the support from others who've walked a similar path and "just get it."
Cancer takes so much. But you want to reclaim some control.
As Seen On and Press Features
You can reclaim some control.
Learn the best, evidence-based strategies to support your body after a cancer diagnosis, reduce recurrence risk, and become empowered to truly thrive.
I know first hand the cascade of emotions that come with a cancer diagnosis. Everything happens so quickly and you don't even have time to figure out - "What is happening?"
You're confused, frustrated, and scared.
Although you weren't doing everything perfectly before cancer, you were a healthy person and made healthy choices. You might even recount everything leading up to the diagnosis wondering where you went wrong.
Unfortunately, most medical oncology teams don't have the comprehensive nutrition and lifestyle knowledge to support patients as they navigate their unique nutrition needs. Thus, leaving patients feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to proactively support their body through treatment and into survivorship.
The thing is, there is evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle strategies that can help reduce treatment side effects, improve quality of life - and believe it or not, help you live your best, healthiest life after cancer.
And although you may be used to being everything to everyone, you realize you can't do this alone. And trust me, you weren't meant to.
It's time to stop frantically Googling all the things and garner the knowledge and support you need to support your body, mind, and spirit through one of the toughest journeys you've ever faced.
The reality is - you didn't cause your cancer. But, you can control how you respond to it.
It's time to thrive.
Get Started
With a decade of oncology nutrition experience, I've helped hundreds of cancer patients combat cancer treatment side effects, gain energy, reduce food fear, and become empowered to take back control against cancer.
Following my own cancer diagnosis and into surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and endocrine therapy - I've been constantly asked, "How did you do it? How did you thrive through it all?"
Oh, there were certainly struggles and hardships. And still are. Cancer treatment and survivorship are no walk in the park. But, using the evidence-based strategies, fostering an outlook on life that thrives on challenges, and an incredible cancer community that surrounded me - I was able to learn to adapt, overcome obstacles, and take back control.
Today, I use these same strategies to empower individuals after a cancer diagnosis to do the same.
I truly believe that nutrition is a powerful tool to complement traditional cancer therapies - and research agrees too! Seeing my clients empowered with the knowledge, tools and resources they need to live happier, healthier lives fuels my incredible passion in the fight against cancer.

What Others Are Saying
"The best I've felt in my adult life while also facing this stupid cancer."
"I immediately and dramatically changed my diet after listening to your advice...Seriously! Despite facing a terrifying diagnosis (invasive lobular and DCIS) I feel incredibly healthy and strong--especially after changing my diet. It's all a little surreal to feel the best I've felt in my adult life while also facing this stupid cancer."
- SK, Cancer Thriver
“With Alison, there was no pressure. She gave us recipes and ideas on what we could do that were realistic for us. I noticed I started feeling better, the chemo treatments weren’t as bad. Alison’s recipes and tools also gave my family and caregivers something they could help with to make me feel better. As a result, my whole family is eating better and we all feel healthier. For us, this has become a long-term lifestyle.”
Jim Luzinger, Stage 4 Colon Cancer
“I love Alison’s teaching style. She gives you the information, but also explains why it’s important and how to implement it. She explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. She does not make you feel bad at all if you have a slip-up. Whatever lifestyle you choose, she’s there to guide and help. After implementing the plant-based diet I definitely felt better. My joints felt better, more clarity, less brain fog, better energy. I truly believe the better you can feed your body, the better you can heal.”
Daina Boppre, Stage 4 Breast Cancer, Rheumatoid Arthritis
“Alison is just wonderful. She doesn’t judge. She just offers you wonderful information and everything is evidence-based. She had reasons for everything she shared, she could show me why it was a good idea and how I could start doing it. I was 243 pounds when we started and now I weigh 156. Using food as medicine has helped me feel better, I can be more active, and I enjoy being active now. Whether you’re sick or not, this is just a good idea.”
