Nutrition (Applied Science) Ad Dip, BSC Hons, Animal nutrition PD Cert
Our Co-Founder Alison, has specialised in canine and feline nutrition for over 13 years, helping owners and their pets all over the world.
Alison trained in Sydney, Australia with some of the very best, starting off with a degree in human applied science, leading into naturopathic nutrition and then specialising in functional medicine with a focus on new product development in the health sector for practitioners, and experts in the field.
Alison’s passion for natural sciences soon spilt over into pets after training as a small animal companion nutritionist and completing her studies in Australia in 2008. Keeping a foot in both camps of human and pet nutrition, Alison has honed her skills within the health sector, using her extensive experience in nutrigenomics and epigenetics, applying this knowledge to disease in canines, and having great success.
It’s the combination of working with healing foods, naturopathic principles and scientific research that formulates a winning combination for Alison’s clinical practice.
BA (Hons), PGCE, PGDip, MA, MBPs - Content Writer and Researcher
A former Lecturer in Health and Social Care, Lisa is a psychology and nutrition graduate. Realising the close link between what we eat and how we feel and behave, Lisa undertook additional study, a Post-Grad Certificate in Biochemistry and an MSc in Human Nutrition. Most recently adding a certificate in Integrative Nutrition to the mix as well.
Swapping humans for pets, Lisa retrained as a pet groomer, setting up her own business along with a cattery. Whilst the cattery functions as a business, Lisa allocates rooms for local rescues during off-peak months to rehabilitate cats ready to find new homes. The majority of these cats suffer with digestive issues, so Lisa’s nutrition experience comes in particularly handy.
Lisa consults on and develops canine and feline nutrition education in the industry and has a regular feature with Edition Dog and the former Edition Cat Magazine. She has also been featured in the Gundog Journal. Alongside this, Lisa keeps a hand in the human arena, having a regular feature in On the Couch Magazine and as a Science Writer for the Centre of Nutritional Psychology in the US.
