You deserve a “food life” that yields consistent energy, food flexibility, and strategies personalized to your unique self.

We blend current and cutting-edge sports nutrition research with the principles of nutrition periodization and metabolic flexibility so that you avoid energy crashes and gut bombs, yet improve your health, strength, and endurance.
Nutrition IS no longer your limiter to achieve your life pursuits.

Youth Athlete Check-In
We work with a lot of young adults. Our goal is to help them (and you) feel more confident about their nutrition and stronger in their bodies. Chances are, you’re already doing a great job, but any parent knows that kids are more likely to listen when the advice comes from an expert. Queue Kristin, our Sports Dietitian (who’s also a Mom, who also knows about eating disorders).
The reality is that kids live in a world full of intense social and media pressures. Disordered eating has skyrocketed, and anxiety and depression are at an all-time high. The majority of their health and fitness “advice” comes from social media, and a lot of what they see is downright wrong and sometimes dangerous. It’s certainly not based on sound science, evidence, or best practices.
Although we often discuss the role of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and hydration, we will not “give you macros”, specific weight goals, or ask you to keep food logs. Those are slippery slopes with kids. Instead, we focus on things like energy, feeling strong, sleep, hunger, recovery, and mood. We cut through the noise and nonsense, separate fantasy from reality, and help you and your family with practical (sound, evidence-informed) nutrition advice based on healthy growth and development.

The complimentary 30-minute Discovery Call is our first step together. We meet to learn more about you and discuss how our coaching and counseling services may support you in your journey.

We are actually a fan of the “Teach a person to fish, rather than fish for them” approach. We want you to be successful for the long haul. However, we do provide example meals and some templates to help you learn models and apply periodization principles. There are certain situations where we provide some macro-based guidelines, but it is not our starting point.
-
We work with a variety of endurance and strength athletes such as long and short course triathletes, marathoners, ultra runners, stage racers, road and off-road cyclists, swim-run athletes, and Crossfit athletes. We also love supporting those who consider themselves “fitness enthusiasts” who are active but may not be competing in any events or races.
“Not only is Dina extremely knowledgeable but she is really focused on how to apply nutrition to meet my specific needs. I strongly believe that hiring Dina as my nutrition coach is one of the best decisions I made during my Ironman training. She lays everything out for you and takes all the guesswork away. I credit Dina, along with my tri coach, with making my first Ironman so successful. I could not recommend this amazing woman enough!”
