Allison completed her Ph.D. and postdoctoral research training at Harvard University where she investigated the effect of diet on cholesterol metabolism. Allison also conducted research studies in immunology as a Postbaccalaureate Intramural Research Training Award Fellow at the National Institutes of Health and as an undergraduate at the University of California, Santa Barabara. Allison has published over a dozen primary research articles, been an invited speaker at several international conferences and department seminars, and received multiple awards for her research work. Allison is also the founder of BioMedical Research Consulting, a consulting company dedicated to helping researchers and clinicians complete and publish scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals (see the BioMedical Research Consulting webpage for more information).

In addition to her scientific background, Allison also experienced multiple years of chronic symptoms ranging from many different body pains to headaches, fatigue, and brain fog. During this journey, Allison went to dozens of doctors and tried therapies, injections, medications, etc., without much success. Her healing journey finally shifted after discovering the new research around chronic symptoms, which eventually led to her recovery. Allison now implements and teaches the approaches she utilized in her recovery in her work as a coach and instructor (see COACHING and WORKSHOPS pages for more information).
