Alison Boden, MPH RD

I meet with Alison to find out what was triggering some stomach pain I was having and she helped me completely overhaul my diet. We tried some elimination diets and cleanses and found the source of the problem. Throughout the process she helped me feel focused and stay on track to reach the end goal. After a few months I have moved to a «clean» diet and have been pain free!

Alison is my colleague at UCSF and I would highly recommend her! She is skilled in assisting clients with a variety of nutritional and medical concerns and the clients that I refer to her find her helpful, attentive, kind and easy to talk to. As a colleague, Alison is fun, funny and a great consultant – I truly enjoy working with her!
I have also co-​facilitated outreach presentations with Alison and am always impressed with her teaching ability, depth of knowledge and passion for what she does.

I contacted Alison when my doctor was ready to put me on cholesterol medication for high cholesterol and was also heading for diabetic medicine to control blood sugars. Alison explained how and why changing my diet would help with these issues without the need for medication. I couldn’t believe it, within one month my cholesterol was out of the two hundreds and down to 158 and my blood sugar was down from 115 to 89. My doctor could not believe my labs and every month the numbers continue to improve. My doctor also wanted to speak with Alison personally so that she could help her other patient’s correct their labs without medications.
All Alison’s help was given over the phone or through email which made it so convenient for me. Alison is absolutely a professional in her field and always makes sure you understand. She is willing to listen and helps every step of the way.
I am so glad I contacted Alison, I believe if I hadn’t worked with her I would surely be on a drug today to control my cholesterol and sugar.
Oh did I mention that I also lost 10 pounds the first month, that was a bonus that was not even part of the plan!

Alison is an extremely skilled, knowledgeable, and compassionate dietitian. I went to Alison for advice on how to manage my weight. She listened carefully to my needs, and helped me to create a plan for overall nutritional health and weight loss. After following this plan, I learned a lot more about how to fuel my body and feel my best through eating a wholesome diet.
Alison is also really friendly and easy to talk to. I always left my sessions with her feeling better about myself and my health.
Thank you Alison for helping me to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle!

I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and was having a hard time navigating all of the ways around gluten and still feeling pretty off even many months after being gluten free.
I came to Alison hoping to get a better idea of what to eat and left with more knowledge about what nutrients I was lacking and great ideas of where to get them from.
She was so approachable and so easy to talk to. She explained things to me in a way that was very easy to understand.
I feel so much better now in general and especially during my trips to the grocery store which were unbelievably hard in the days after diagnosis.
A huge thank you to Alison, you are a lifesaver!
