What to Know Before Hiring a Health Coach

My Story

"I am 60-something. And I'll be damned if I'm going to act it or feel it. I've got more to give and a lot more life to live."

Why in the heck, at age 60-something, did I close a lucrative business, go back to school, and launch a whole new career? After spending 20 years as a corporate executive (yep, the corner office came with stock options) and then another 18 years as a successful solo entrepreneur (a wildlife educator, but that's another story), why not put my feet up and retire under a palm tree? I can't. I've got more to give and a lot more life to live. And you do, too. I have important things to share. Things that will change how you live the rest of your life.

Like you, I lived the standard American lifestyle. Followed the health trends. Ate the USDA's low-fat high-grain food pyramid with lots of whole grains. Chugged diet sodas and used the pink or yellow packets to keep my weight down. Went to occasional yoga classes and paid for spurts of gym memberships. So, the changes that appeared seemingly overnight in my 50's took me by surprise. I was losing the razor-sharp brain that was my trademark. Why did I come into this room? What was the name of that restaurant? Where did I hide my diamond ring? Nope. No way. I'm not going down like this.

And, like you, I had my share of watching loved ones succumb to debilitating age-related diseases and the ravages of dementia. My businessman father retired under that palm tree, withered away from cancer, and then took his own life when all hope was lost. My socialite mother lost her eyesight to macular degeneration, her breath to pulmonary hypertension, her strength to congestive heart failure, her pride to dementia, and ultimately, her life to a stroke. My father-in-law, a decorated pilot and military officer, expertly hid his progressive dementia, while secretly giving away his entire $1 million retirement to scammers over five years. Nope. Not happening. Not going to be how I end my story.

Genetics be damned. Brain health experts have now proven that genetics only plays a small part in determining your future health or lack of it. Your LIFESTYLE determines how well or unwell you'll be in the second half of your life. What you eat and drink, how well you sleep, how much exercise you get, what toxins you're exposed to, and the intellectual and social activities you engage in will determine your future. And THAT you can control.

A lifelong research nerd, I spent years studying, collecting, and compiling the research findings of today's leading brain health and dementia/Alzheimer's experts. I've chosen to embrace the neuroprotective Bredesen Protocol and I live it daily. I have changed how I eat, move, sleep, de-stress, detox, learn and socialize. I know better than most how to successfully build the healthy habits that are the backbone of Dr. Dale Bredesen's PreCODE and ReCODE programs.

I can coach you to a renewed second half of your life. My next 30 years will be a wild ride, spinning around family, grandkids, travel, adventure, and any new fun experience that comes my way. I hope you'll be inspired to join me on the journey.

Allison, with her great wealth of knowledge, focused on the totality of my health. I was motivated to make better choices daily for my overall wellbeing. I truly feel that I have "bloomed again," as I am now healthier and more equipped to face the decades ahead.

- Christine Gonzalez

Allison is amazing. She was fully present, asked great questions, really listened, got to the heart of the matter and kept the conversation authentically empowering and solution focused. I felt heard, valued and capable of more than I initially saw possible.

- Shari Marin

Working with Allison was very natural and I always felt supported -- more like a conversation with an old friend. She helped me to acknowledge some things that weren't working in my life. She helped get from "I should" to "I want to." Trust the process. It works!
