Adaptive Sports Nutrition developed when I saw a need for more sports nutrition services for athletes with disabilities.
I grew up playing basketball and transitioned to running through which I experienced the training and nutritional demands of sports and developed an interest in helping other athletes to fuel performance. I also can relate to the experiences of other individuals with disabilities.
As a Registered Dietitian, I have experience in a rehab and skilled clinical nutrition with residents seeking short and long term care for a variety of medical conditions, including paralysis, spinal cord injuries and post-amputation. I also have an extensive background and training in research to apply the best evidence-based nutrition practices while taking into account individual needs and preferences.
