My Journey in Nutrition
I’ve been passionate about nutrition and science for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was a competitive dancer and swimmer, and I was always interested in the relationship between food and athletic performance. After learning exactly what a sports dietitian was in high school, I’ve never looked back. It’s been a dream ever since to help elite athletes and active individuals improve their overall health and performance.
Following my education and training in sports nutrition, I founded my own practice, Eleat Sports Nutrition, LLC, in June 2014. Since then, I have worked with hundreds of high school, college, and professional athletes around the U.S., including people from Major League Baseball, the National Football League, and the National Hockey League. In our sessions, I educate my clients on proper fueling strategies to improve their relationship with food and boost energy. I also aim to prevent relative energy deficiency in sports (RED-S), which can negatively impact menstrual and hormonal regulation, bone health, immune health, and more.
I also love spreading evidence-based nutrition knowledge through various outlets to a wide audience on my Instagram, @eleatnutrition; blog; through my recently published cookbook, Fuel Your Body; and here at Flo. It’s an honor to be here to co-create helpful health content alongside top medical experts.
