I'm Lindsey
As a veteran Sports Dietitian with 13 years of experience, I have worked with athletes across
various sports, levels, and nutrition needs. After working at three different NCAA Universities and US Special Operations Forces to optimize athlete performance through nutrition, I began my own private practice specifically helping female athletes, addressing their unique physiological and social experiences with food, body, and sport. I worked 1:1 with over 500 female athletes at the high school, college, and professional levels, some of whom landed professional sponsorships and qualified for World Championships and even became Olympians.
Now, as a mom, and more so, a medical mom, I stay at home to prioritize the well-being of my family, while serving female athletes through various online resources, strategic partnerships, and collaborations. You can benefit from in-depth and enlightening discussions around all things female athlete nutrition by tuning in to the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast weekly. I continue to host a REDS Recovery Membership and partner with like-minded groups and organizations to help female athletes fuel for success.
Explore the site to learn through my blog and e-guides, listen to the podcast, connect with me for partnership, and take advantage of current affiliate partnerships that support female athletes. I'm excited to help you be FIERCE FIT & FUELED!

This leads to injury, burnout, altered lab values, amenorrhea, and worsening performance, often destroying or ending a competitive career.
I want to help you PREVENT, FIX, OR REVERSE these devastating effects of REDS.
I will help you sort out all the noise and misinformation about nutrition & show you how to approach food differently.
Food is not your enemy…it’s your fuel.

WHAT PEOPE ARE SAYING
"Lindsey is super supportive"
My experience was amazing. Anyone who signs up will learn all facets of eating: nutrition, athletic performance, enjoyment of it, and the mental side of it. Lindsey is super supportive, never judgemental, yet challenges your thinking at the same time. I highly highly recommend joining her programs.
