Alyson Witherspoon maintains a deep personal interest in natural health and nutrition, as well as permaculture farming. She has ghost-written several books in the natural health and nutrition space, including a book on the prevention of birth defects before conception, launched several dietary supplements into the U.S. market, co-founded two biopharma companies, and developed educational courses in the natural health and wellness space. She presently resides in the Central Valley of California where she has developed a Farm Plan to realize her dream of creating a legacy permaculture farm.

Ms. Witherspoon’s legal, finance, and business management background as well as her interest in eco-sustainable housing development inspired the co-creation of this Housing Track, where she will moderate a series of discussions on legacy and estate planning as well as safe and inspiring housing options for autistic children and adults.
