Dr. Allison Smith has two post-graduate seminary degrees and 25 years of serving in both church and parachurch ministry organizations. Allison’s authority on the topic of overcoming overeating comes from a life-long struggle with the issue and 75 pounds of weight loss. She is driven by a frustration with a financially driven, weight-loss industry that offers few answers, and the conviction that this problem can only be solved by someone who has walked the road. When her society offered no solution, Allison attributes her recovery to God’s answers revealed in the darkness of food addiction. Today, she continues to be motivated by a broken heart for those still suffering without hope.
