Lab data helps us go deeper—identifying nutrient gaps, hormone imbalances, inflammation, and recovery challenges that impact your athletic output.

No fads. No filler. Just science-backed sports nutrition tools personalized to your training intensity, sport, and recovery cycle.

How Nutrition Coaching for Athletes Works

Personalized nutrition strategies that help you train smarter, recover faster, and feel better doing it.

Lab-Guided Fueling Strategies

We start with real data—lab testing gives us insight into nutrient deficiencies, adrenal fatigue, iron levels, and more. From there, I build a personalized plan that supports your performance and recovery.

  • Comprehensive blood panels (optional) Includes insights into iron, protein, cortisol, thyroid, and inflammation markers
  • 1:1 support from a certified sports nutritionist You get a custom fueling strategy—not a generic template

Energy & Recovery Support

Whether you're crashing mid-day or struggling with post-workout soreness, we’ll zero in on the nutritional gaps that are keeping you stuck—and help you fuel to move forward.

  • Pre- and post-workout meal timing and macros
  • Recovery-focused nutrition for stronger sessions and shorter downtime
  • Flexible meal plans that work with your sport, training block, and lifestyle

Rest, Resilience & Mindset Work

You’re more than macros—and recovery goes deeper than protein powder. We’ll support the whole athlete with habits that make performance sustainable.

  • Nutrition coaching for sleep, stress, and nervous system support
  • Tools to improve mood, focus, and clarity on training and rest days
  • Real strategies for burnout prevention and resilience-building

Can Athletic Nutrition Counseling Help You?

If you feel like you’re doing everything “right” but still not seeing results—there’s a reason. We’ll work together to uncover what’s missing and build a plan that actually works with your training, not against it.

You’re Training Hard With No Results

You’ve got the basics down, but something’s not clicking. We’ll use testing and feedback to rebuild a plan that actually supports your athletic goals.

You’re Eating "Healthy" but Still Off

You’ve got the basics down, but your plan isn’t working. We’ll uncover what’s missing and rebuild it with strategy.

Your Body Feels Off During Training

Crashing mid-workout? Dealing with bloating, nausea, or fog after training? These are signs your fueling strategy needs a reset—not more restriction.

You’re Always Sore, Stiff, or Run Down

Recovery shouldn’t take this long. We’ll support your body with athletic nutrition strategies that reduce inflammation and boost resilience.

What to Expect From Your Sports Nutrition Program

This isn’t a crash diet or “one size fits all” plan. It’s a holistic approach that considers your symptoms, lifestyle, and the root causes behind your imbalances.

Initial Consultation

We’ll start with a detailed conversation about your training, symptoms, and goals. Your plan is built around you—not a generic athlete template.

Optional Lab Testing

If needed, we’ll use functional lab testing to assess nutrient status, cortisol, inflammation, or hormone markers impacting your performance and recovery.

Personalized Nutrition & Supplement Plans

You’ll receive a plan tailored to your body and your sport—covering blood sugar balance, workout nutrition, recovery meals, and supplement guidance as needed.

Ongoing Check-Ins

Training blocks change. Your nutrition plan should too. We’ll adjust your strategy as your schedule and body shift throughout the season.

Between-Session Support

You’ll have direct access to me for quick questions, refueling help, or tweaks on the fly—so you’re never navigating nutrition alone.

My Personal Nutritional Journey

Why I’m Passionate About Sports Nutrition & Functional Coaching

I understand what it’s like when you’re doing everything “right”—training hard, eating clean—and still not feeling your best. I’ve been there.

As a lifelong athlete, I spent years pushing through fatigue, soreness, and missed performance goals, thinking that was just part of being “dedicated.” But underfueling, unmanaged stress, and hormone imbalance caught up with me. I was exhausted, foggy, and disconnected from the strong, capable person I knew I could be.

It wasn’t until I turned to personalized, functional nutrition that things changed. By addressing nutrient deficiencies, stress, and recovery the right way—not harder, but smarter—I reclaimed my energy and completed a Half Ironman in 2024 feeling powerful and nourished, not broken down.

Now, I help other athletes—weekend warriors and seasoned competitors alike—do the same. My approach is rooted in science, lived experience, and your real life. Whether you’re struggling to bounce back from workouts, managing chronic fatigue, or just want to feel strong and steady again, I’m here to help you fuel the way your body actually needs.

Because performance isn’t just about pushing—it’s about supporting your body to go further, recover faster, and stay in it for the long game.

Is Athletic Nutritionist Coaching Right For Me?

You’re training for something meaningful

Whether it’s a race, a lift, or a personal goal, you want fuel that supports your energy—not leaves you running on fumes.

You’re preparing for a big life moment

From events to milestones, you want to feel confident, strong, and clear-headed—on and off the field.

You’re living with a chronic condition

You're navigating autoimmune, thyroid, or digestive issues and want a plan that supports both your health and performance.

You’re tired of not feeling like yourself

If you're constantly bloated, exhausted, or dragging through workouts, nutrition coaching can help you reset and refuel the right way.

Targeted Nutrition Coaching for Athletic Performance

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with a condition or just know your body isn’t performing at its best, I’ll help you get to the root—then build a plan that works with your training, not against it.

Overtraining Syndrome & Recovery Plateaus

You’re pushing hard, but your body’s pushing back. Soreness lingers, energy dips, and progress stalls. Nutrition can help you recover smarter—not just longer.

Why it happens:

  • Chronic inflammation

  • Hormonal dysregulation (cortisol, DHEA)

  • Nutrient depletion (B vitamins, magnesium)

  • Poor fueling around workouts

What helps:

  • Recovery-focused meal timing

  • Adaptogens & nervous system support

  • Micronutrient repletion with lab guidance

  • Smarter training-nutrition sync

GI Distress During Training

If bloating, cramps, or gut pain show up mid-workout, it’s not a discipline issue—it’s a fueling issue. Let’s fix it with nutrition that supports performance, not sabotages it.

Why it happens:

  • Poor blood flow to gut during exercise

  • FODMAP sensitivity or reactive foods

  • Dehydration or electrolyte imbalance

  • Incomplete digestion due to stress

What helps:

  • Pre-fuel and intra-fuel timing

  • Gut-friendly food substitutions

  • Hydration & mineral balance

  • Low-FODMAP & food sensitivity coaching

Energy Crashes & Mood Swings

Some days you’re on fire—others, you’re dragging. That inconsistency could come down to how (and when) you’re fueling your body.

Why it happens:

  • Blood sugar volatility

  • Inadequate protein or carb intake

  • Caffeine overuse or under-hydration

What Helps:

  • Regular, protein-rich meals

  • Adaptogens like ashwagandha & rhodiola (if appropriate)

  • Cutting back on caffeine and sugar

  • Gentle movement and restorative sleep routines

  • Mindfulness & nervous system support

Frequently Asked Questions
About Hormones + Nutrition

Pre- and Post-Workout Nutrition

A mix of carbs and protein fuels performance without weighing you down. Try oats with berries, banana and nut butter, or a light wrap with turkey.

About 1.5–3 hours is ideal. If you’re closer to go-time, keep it light and easy to digest.

Both. Carbs replenish energy; protein helps muscle repair. A smoothie with fruit and protein powder works well.

If it’s under an hour and not intense, maybe not. But if you’re hungry, a light snack can help support recovery.

Recovery and Inflammation

Protein, anti-inflammatory fats, and colorful fruits and veggies. Salmon, olive oil, berries, and greens all support recovery.

Hard training, under-recovery, processed food, poor gut health, and stress can all contribute.

Most athletes benefit from 0.6–0.9 grams per pound of body weight. It depends on your training intensity and goals.

Yes—recovery nutrition is still key. Your body needs fuel to rebuild and reset, even when you’re not training.

Thyroid hormones control your metabolism, energy, temperature regulation, and digestion. Too little = fatigue, weight gain, cold hands, brain fog.

Special Considerations for Athletes

Start increasing carb intake 2–3 days out. During the race, aim for 30–60g carbs per hour depending on your pace.

Often it’s a timing or food sensitivity issue. We’ll test and adjust to make fueling feel easy again.

Drink throughout the day, not just during workouts. Add electrolytes if you sweat heavily or train for long durations.

Yes—recovery nutrition is still key. Your body needs fuel to rebuild and reset, even when you’re not training.

Thyroid hormones control your metabolism, energy, temperature regulation, and digestion. Too little = fatigue, weight gain, cold hands, brain fog.

Energy, Focus, and Performance

You might be under-fueled, dehydrated, or not recovering enough. Nutrition, sleep, and stress all play a role.

How do I stay focused during training?

Fuel consistently, stay hydrated, and avoid training fasted if it leaves you foggy. Blood sugar stability is key.

Crashes are usually caused by a nutritional deficiency or hydration issue. You CAn adjust pre- and intra-workout meals, snacks, and hydration to help you feel steady.

It depends on timing and tolerance. Coffee can boost performance for some people, but too much can dehydrate you, backfire on recovery, and ultimately cause more stress.

Hormones, Stress, and Burnout

Stress raises cortisol, which impacts energy, recovery, and muscle breakdown. Managing it is just as important as macros.

Low energy, sleep issues, cravings, slow recovery, and brain fog. Lab testing helps pinpoint what’s going on.

Absolutely. Deep sleep helps repair muscle, balance hormones, and reduce inflammation.

By stabilizing blood sugar, reducing inflammation, and rebuilding nutrient stores that stress depletes.

Supplements and Fueling Strategy

It depends on the athlete. Common needs include magnesium, omega-3s, creatine, and vitamin D—but always test first when possible.

Creatine helps with strength and recovery. BCAAs are more situational. Let’s look at your training and goals first.

Yes, if you sweat a lot or train for long durations. Choose brands without added sugars and dyes.

You’ll need more carbs, protein, and hydration than usual. Spacing meals and snacks throughout the day helps.

Not always—but understanding your intake matters. We focus on flexible structure, not rigid tracking.
