Alexandra MacKillop is a food scientist, author, and primary healthcare provider at a holistic clinic near Chicago, IL. She is passionate about helping women cultivate lifestyle behaviors that honor both God and their bodies through a non-diet approach to nutrition. In addition to clinical practice, she writes about her experiences with faith, food, and medicine on her blog, AlexandraMacKillop.com. She has published and released a devotional titled Faith, Food, Freedom for women who struggle with body image and dieting, and is in the process of writing her first book, which will be released by the publisher in spring of 2021. Her work has also appeared on both Christian and Nutrition blogs such as (in)courage and Naughty Nutrition, as well as language and scientific journals such as Claritas Journal of Language and Culture and The Purdue Journal of Undergraduate Research. Alexandra is as committed to her faith as she is to studying science, and she seeks to unite these two areas of her life by caring for others at the intersection of food and faith.
