Is Allara evidence based?

Allara prides itself on being evidence based at every turn. The same goes for our registered dietitians (RDs). Our nutrition program is built on a strong foundation of continuous literature review. That means that all the information shared with patients has research behind it. The articles and studies that inform recommendations are evaluated for not just their content, but the overall quality and reliability. As new studies, findings, or understandings of science arise, the body of evidence Allara uses may change as well. This means: Yes, our recommendations may change over time, and we are proud of that. We will always seek to provide you with the most up-to-date, exceptional-level care.
