About Allison Bustos
This provider is not licensed in the state of CT, MA, MD, NY, IN, OK, OR, PA, TN, WA, HI, MT, IL, VT.
About:
It has been nearly 10 years as a Registered Dietitian (RD). I am grateful to still feel as inspired and passionate as the first day I became one, and perhaps even more. I earned my Bachelor's in Food and Nutrition from San Diego State University. My favorite part of my job is being a part of the journey to achieve long-lasting habits that improve a patient's quality of life through food and body movement. I live in Kansas City, MO, with my husband and three children. My kids are my why, and partnering alongside patients in their nutrition needs is my purpose.
Approach to Care:
I am a RD in training, but I am also an accountability partner, an encouraging sentiment, a cheerleader for positive changes, and a loyal soundboard in practice (all RDs are!). Life is challenging, and so is working on new habits. I understand that change is hard, and no two patients are exactly the same. Individualized care is the way to reach success, and I am always willing to work together to find a creative strategy that fits my patients' lives and unique needs. I genuinely love helping people improve their energy, discover ways to move their bodies that they enjoy, and learn how to eat food they love to best fuel their lives.
What to Expect in Your First Session:
To create a personalized and specific nutrition plan, an assessment will be completed to gather necessary information about the patient's medical history, variables that impact food choices, barriers to change, daily schedule, dietary intake, physical activity level, personal goals to focus on, and the creation of shared goals to enhance quality of life.

Allison was super knowledgeable and very understanding. I didn't feel any judgment about my eating habit when I explain to her my schedule. She was very helpful and enthusiastic which intern made me very excited for the changes that are going to come. I look forward to working with her through this process.
