Healthy Habits for Busy Families with Alison Wasinger

Implementing healthy habits with a busy work and family life is no small feat. In this episode of the NTI PodTalk, Alison Wasinger shares her passion for helping families navigate the chaos of busy, daily schedules while maintaining health and wellness. From meal planning to movement, Alison offers practical advice for busy families, even for those with demanding jobs, like her firefighter husband.

About Alison:

Alison Wasinger is a recent graduate of the Nutrition Therapy Institutes’ Nutrition Therapist Master Certification program.

Prior to receiving her certification, Alison received a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and a master’s degree in Food and Nutrition Science from Florida State University. She spent over 10 years in the fitness industry in a variety of roles from one-on-one personal training to multi-unit and multi state management of facilities. Currently, Alison is the director for an integrative health clinic.

Although her education and background seem that she should be prepared with all the answers, it’s her personal life experience that has helped her apply this knowledge and grow her desire to help others with nutrition and overall health. Alison is married to a firefighter who is on shift for 48 hours at a time and they have three (growing) girls, with another baby on the way. Each person in their home has different appetites, likes, nutritional needs, and their schedules are very inconsistent. However, this motivates Alison to ensure that her family’s nutrition needs are ALL met.

Alison’s desire is to help other people, especially busy families, women, and first responders improve their overall life by helping them with their nutrition, food choices, and wellness.
