Meet Allison Samon

I’ve been a Functional Nutritionist and Certified Holistic Health Coach for over 10 years.

Most people are surprised to know that in my 20s my body was: riddled with pain, I was always fatigued, had frequent migraines, (undiagnosed) hormonal imbalances and struggled to maintain my weight. And still, my doctors considered me to be “healthy” and active – in spite of my complaints of pain and struggle.

For over 10 years, I wallowed in the health drama that ensued from having chronic health issues and no diagnosis. During this time, my 50 year old father, seemingly in perfect health (on the outside at least), died suddenly of heart disease we never knew he had. This added to the despair and confusion I had been feeling for years about what felt so wrong in my body.

At the height of my illness, I saw multiple neurologists, physical therapists, and top orthopedists in NYC and NJ; none of whom were able to do much to help.

This was all while working long hours behind the scenes as an Assistant Director in Daytime Drama. I was always looking for the “magic pill” that would “fix” me. When exploratory surgery was suggested, that’s when I knew it was the last straw. I wanted the Fairy Tale, instead of the Soap Opera. Something changed in me, call it a fire or divine intervention, but I ultimately found a practitioner who would change my life forever. He introduced me to this new fangled concept: nutrition! As I adjusted what I was eating, my body began to heal faster than I ever thought possible. I lost those 10 pesky pounds that had been driving me crazy, and have been able to keep them off for over 15 years! I no longer have migraines, acne, or joint pain! Best of all, I regained the stamina to keep up with my demanding work schedule — and even for some fun too!

And thus began my total body (and career) transformation as I went on to become a Functional Nutritionist and Certified Holistic Health Coach.

I established Allison Samon Lifestyle & Wellness coaching practice in Los Angeles after earning my national board certification from The Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York and continued my education with The Institute for Functional Medicine, a Certificate in Environmental Health and the Certification with the Functional Nutrition Lab with Andrea Nakayama.

I work virtually with people like you to get out of chronic illness, escape from mystery symptoms, and help redesign your lifestyle so that you can be fit, energized, and pain free in ways that are easy, fun, and sustainable.

After figuring out my personal chronic/mystery illness battle, and years of functional nutrition education,

I’ve now been working with clients just like you for over a decade. I’m on a personal mission to help you ditch chronic pain and put those mystery symptoms behind you and into the rear view mirror. I delight when you get your life back and fall in love with how you feel in your body. I adore it when I see you turn back the clock and rock your life!

Together, let’s shake up the way you think about dis-ease, your body and nutrition. Let’s turn the tables on your chronic illness and let it be a thing of the past.

I believe in you!
