About Allison Evans:

In high school, Allison was diagnosed with PCOS and suffered chronic, mysterious pain through college. After years of seeing medical specialists and a laundry list of drugs, Allison was desperate for relief and turned to her Aunt Marilee in the Texas Hill Country. After two months at Marilee’s, eating only real food, using safe products, and staying in a healthy home, her life was transformed. Allison was free of pain and got her life back! Eventually, her ovarian cysts disappeared, and she was able to get pregnant naturally...twice! She now lives on a ranch outside of Austin with her husband and two girls, 2 and 4 years old.
