Nancy Addison CHC, AADP – shatters the stereotype about healthy eating. This unique and courageous nutritionist cuts through the myths and misinformation about health and nutrition. She is a nutrition/health/lifestyle/cooking subject-matter expert. Nancy is the strategic advisor for healthful tips for being and living the healthiest life possible. If you want the straight and honest truth, with easy ways to take control of your health and reverse disease, hire Nancy as a speaker or counselor.

Nancy is a Certified International Wildlife Rehabilitator. She’s been asked to speak at International Veterinarian Conferences in Paris, 2022 & 2023 on Nutrition for animals. She also was awarded Best Nutritional Counselor by Petsworks 2022 & 2023.

Nutritionist and health consultant, #1 best-selling, international award-winning author, radio show host and lecturer who has helped thousands of people overcome health disorders. Her books were written after years of research to find a cure for her own health problems. Frustrated with conventional medicine, she embarked on a long course of study into many different healing concepts, including ancient Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, macrobiotics, Mediterranean cuisine, natural hygiene, raw foods, detoxification, and supplement therapy. Incorporating the most beneficial components of each concept into her own system of health and healing, her personal doctor encouraged her, and her personal success inspired her to share it with others. Much more than a “diet,” Nancy’s speeches, radio shows, books, and articles offer a constantly expanding body of knowledge that focuses on the benefits of establishing and maintaining a healthy body, mind, and spirit. It all starts with nutritious food and a healthy intestinal tract. Eating organic, nutrient-dense foods, as well as probiotic-rich fermented foods, and following her principles, lays down a foundation for health that is essential to wellness.

Before becoming a professional speaker, investigative journalist, organic health/nutrition expert, and chef, Nancy experienced a penicillin overdose at a young age that demanded numerous blood transfusion and bone marrow tests, leaving her with acute anemia. Craving sugar for energy, she came very close to becoming diabetic and gained 50 extra unhealthful pounds while pregnant. She began to research all she could on health, nutrition, and self-healing. Nancy adjusted her stressful lifestyle and food choices. Nancy now commits her practice to educate audiences and clients on the effects of toxins found in our daily environment, eating healthier to stay younger looking and having a more energetic, optimum lifestyle. Nancy is an expert in diabetes, heart disease, and cancer diets.

Her seven books are endorsed by world-renowned doctors. Always enthusiastic about helping others achieve a vibrant, sustainable, healthful way of living, Nancy teaches healthful living, nutrition, cooking, and raw food cuisine preparation, as well as organic gardening.

Gibbons was on the law review,  published at the University of Texas School of Law, and worked for Federal Judge J. James Brady. Both children interned for Federal Appeals Judge Patrick Errol Higginbotham.

Amanda graduated from the University of Texas School of Law with honors. Today, her son Gibbons (who attended Louisiana State University undergraduate school on an academic scholarship) is an attorney In Louisiana. While finishing her law school degree, her daughter Amanda worked with the Office of the Co-Prosecutors at the United Nations Assistance to the Khmer Trials at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, in Phnom Penh.

There, she raised money and helped build an adult literacy center.  Amanda worked as an International Human Rights Lawyer in NYC for the two years.

    Nancy, are you still involved with rescuing and rehabilitation of opossum? I live in a very large apartment complex northwest of White Rock Lake (where Fisher becomes Southwestern) and I have a mature opossum nightly searching my patio for food. I wouldn’t mind if it didn’t use the bathroom on my patio and scare my indoor/outdoor cat. I cannot change the behavior of the entire complex to encourage the possum from foraging around my apartment so, relocation seems to be my only option. The DFW Wildlife Coalition makes many suggestions that are aimed at home owners and rural areas but, don’t really apply to my situation. Is there anyone who would relocate or loan me a cage for relocation of the possum?
    Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
