About - Student Athlete Nutrition

our mission

Provide practical, evidence-based, nutrition education and resources to student athletes who lack access to sports dietitians and performance nutrition programs.

We're registered dietitians and former student-athletes, who specialize in performance nutrition.

We’ve worked with student athletes at every level for over a decade, providing them with the education and tools we wish we had access to when we were student athletes ourselves.

We know there’s a gap in access to reputable sports nutrition information and resources. Most collegiate athletes who aren’t at power five schools aren’t able to meet with a sports dietitian and don’t have meal, snack, and supplement options tailored to their busy lifestyle and intense training schedule. We’re making practical, evidence-based, performance nutrition resources available to all.
