My Nutrition Philosophy
Philosophy is based on study and knowledge; and my nutrition philosophy is based on the belief that food is fuel. Food nourishes our bodies and minds allowing us to grow, excel, thrive and recover. I utilize mindful and intuitive eating strategies to help athletes connect food, mind and body. The food-mind-body connection creates a healthy and empowering relationship with food that will help athletes, in every stage of life, enhance their capabilities.
