YES, WE EAT COOKIES AND SO CAN YOU!

I’m Allison Gross, dietitian and founder of 4Q Method.

My wellness journey began when I was young. I loved eating, but at a certain point I realized it was taking a toll on my health. I asked my mother to take me to a dietitian so I could learn how to eat. This life-changing — and more importantly, joyful experience — laid the foundation for a healthy and loving relationship with food and wellness. It even led me to pursue a career in nutrition.

After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, I received a masters in nutrition from NYU and completed my dietetic internship at NY Presbyterian Hospital. As my career progressed, it pained me to see people suffering from the vicious cycle of yo-yo dieting. I created 4Q Method to end that.

In recent years, I struggled with fertility, did IVF, and experienced the physical, mental, and emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. Through it all, 4Q Method took on even more meaning. Knowing how to nourish yourself and having a healthy relationship with food and body is essential when trying to conceive, grow a baby, and then take care of that baby and yourself.

Every day I wake up grateful that I get to help our clients achieve their goals, reclaim their relationship with food and their bodies, and most importantly, enjoy the journey getting there.

I’m Yasi Vojdani, a registered dietitian at 4Q Method. 

Growing up with a mother who studied nutrition, I always respected her relationship with food. She raised my brother and me to understand the importance of moderation and balance. While we always had wholesome and nutrient dense meals, no foods were off limits.

I took interest in my mother’s passion for nutrition and always found ways to educate myself. Then, when I graduated college, my mom and I founded a granola company together. Working in the natural food space for 8 years inspired me to take my passion to the next level and become a dietitian. That's when I decided to attend NYU where I received my masters and completed my dietetic internship.

I believe nutrition should be simple. As a society, we have made it complicated, but it’s time to bring it back to basics. Finding habits that are sustainable and fit your lifestyle is key to long term success.

If I’m not reading nutrition articles or in client sessions, you can find me cooking, on the Pilates reformer or taking nice long walks! 

With The 4Q Method, our clients build the tools and habits they need to break the pattern of diet relapse once and for all, and never look back.
