Nan Unklesbay
Biography
Nan Unklesbay, Ph.D. is a Professor Emeritus in Food Science at the University of Missouri-Columbia and has written an inspiring stroke recovery book geared to the stroke victim, caregivers, and family, in a humorous and honest style.
She suffered a stroke herself in 2003, and states that writing this book was wonderful therapy. After being urged by friends, she took on the challenge of writing this valuable book and I consider it a great testament to Nan’s perseverance and determination.
Nan is also an inspiring speaker on her topic, and is available to address your group.

Although it has been years since I’ve seen you, I can still picture the Nan who could pull off the amazing recovery you’ve made. Bravo!” –Cathy Rand, M.S Public Health Nutrition
