Do you want to fuel like a pro?

It’s more doable than you might think!

Swipe to learn about these professional athletes and how they fuel for performance.

And, before you say, "I'm not a professional athlete, this doesn't apply to me"...
Let me stop you right there and say: YES IT DOES.

If you fuel with a focus on performance, having enough energy and eating a variety of quality nutrients, the aesthetics you're looking for will follow.

If that's what you're ready for, let’s talk!

Carbs are officially cancelled.

From now on, all pre-workout fuel must be kale, plain chicken, and positive thoughts.

No more Rice Krispies treats.
No more sports drinks.
No more gummy bears during long workouts.

Performance will now be powered entirely by clean eating and vibes.

…APRIL FOOLS. 😅
Now swipe to see more examples of common nutrition myths for performance athletes!

Carbs are still your best friend. Fuel accordingly. 🍚🏋️‍♀️

When athletes struggle with nutrition consistency, they often blame discipline.

But discipline isn’t the real issue. It’s lack of structure.

Most athletes are balancing:�training, school or work, family, social life, travel, competition schedules and more!

Consistency comes from simple systems, not perfect motivation.

The goal isn’t to eat perfectly every day.
It’s to make fueling easier, even on your busiest days.

Take it from my client Callie who was balancing school and competition schedules.

Callie added in a system of fueling practices and she took seconds off her 500 free time after just a couple weeks!

Her Pre, Post and Intra workout fueling were specific, simple and repeatable so she could execute everyday—without really thinking about it too much.

The structure and systems were how she was able to stay consistent.

Don’t wait around, you can start improving your performance today!

As a Sports Dietitian who still works clinically, I have a unique perspective.

What I do for my clients
✅ help set realistic goals
✅ provide clarity and context
✅ hold you accountable to what I know you're capable of
✅ teach you how to become autonomous in your nutrition journey

What I don’t do
❌ give generic meal plans
❌ use shame or guilt to get results
❌ tell you what to do without explaining WHY

It’s not about control, a rigid meal plan, or giving up the balance in your life.

It’s about helping you stop guessing and start performing at a new level.

If you’re ready for a more personalized approach to nutrition, I’d love to help.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it…

🐎 Social media is like the Wild West these days!

Sharing evidence-based nutrition and medical information isn’t sexy. 🤓

Talking about the nuance of health and nutrition doesn’t get views.

It rarely goes viral.
And the haters are LOUD! 🤡

But every client I see, I spend so much extra time correcting all the false information that they saw online.

Which is why as credentialed healthcare providers we NEED to continue showing up so our patients have at least some reliable content to learn from.

People need reliable, evidence based information…and that’s why I stay on this dang app (even though I hate it here a lot of days)!

So, excuse me while I hop on a trend here or there, trying to get quality info in front of new eyes. 💁🏻‍♀️

And if this resonates, please like, share, comment…all the things. 🫶🏼

Quarterfinals are this week!!

While this is NOT the week to change everything, let’s make sure you’ve got the right idea going into it.

It’s NEVER too late to prepare, so here’s what I want you to do:

🍏 Add in carbs TODAY. Add an extra 15-30g or more
🍎 Drink at least half your body weight in water
🍏 Prioritize sleep! Get 7-9 hours every night
🍎 On Wednesday, up the carbs evennnn a little bit more… think 50-75g more than normal
🍏Plan your workout schedule and then your pre- and post-workout meals

Make sure to hydrate, recover well, and get those glycogen stores full so when you go to workout, you aren’t showing up on empty.

Need more fueling tips? Comment “quarterfinals” and I’ll send you my new resource specifically about fueling for quarterfinals! (It’s free!)

Fasted training is trendy.

But for athletes?
It’s not optimal.

Let me explain…

When you train fasted, your body:
• Has lower glycogen (stored carbs)
• Has higher stress levels
• Has less readily available onergy
• Is more likely to break down muscle tissue

That means:
❌ Reduced power output
❌ Slower sprint times
❌ Lower training intensity
❌ Poor sleep and recovery
❌ Increased muscle breakdown (and soreness!)

If you’re doing CrossFit, lifting, heavy, intervals, or sport performance work, your body runs primarily on carbohydrates.

Without fuel, you’re asking your nervous system and muscles to perform at high output… On empty.⛽️

And for athletes with big goals like you?
We don’t have time for that!

More stress + less fuel = stalled progress.

Yes… the humble Rice Krispie Treat can actually help your workout 😲

Here’s why 👇

When you eat a Rice Krispies Treat before training, you're getting fast-digesting carbohydrates (from the puffed rice + marshmallows).

Those carbs:
🥨 Increase blood glucose�
🍩 Trigger an insulin response�
🍭 Help shuttle nutrients into muscle�
🍯 Replenish muscle glycogen�

And when glycogen stores are full?

You get that full, tight, vascular feeling we call… the pump 💪
