Lunch Hours Lessons With Allison

Straightforward information on basic nutritional concepts

Welcome to my Lunch Hour Lessons archive!

I call these "Lunch Hour Lessons" because they are intended to be short lessons that you can review during your lunch hour and tell people about during the rest of your day. You can of course watch or read them any time!

Lunch Hour Lessons are purposefully written in non-technical language, to get the main point across. All these concepts can be researched in greater detail if you wish.

I've Got You Covered!
Each Lunch Hour Lesson includes a video with a transcript to go along with it.
