Hi There!

I'm Melissa A. Mathes, and for the last 25+ years, I have been helping athletes and active people meet their athletic and health goals by teaching them why, when, and how to use whole foods to nourish their bodies for energy and therapeutic benefits, supporting overall health, decreasing the risk of injury, illness, post exercise inflammation, while increasing training adaptations and improving overall performance. Strategically nourishing your body for your unique needs is the key to unlocking optimal health and performance!

​

Have you tried to achieve the following, but need help?​

• Increase energy for training and competition

• Know what sports nutrition, hydration, and fueling strategies work best for you

• Altering body composition to meet your goals 

• Resolve sports nutrition issues, i.e., cramping, gastrointestinal issues, etc. 

• Increase your overall health and energy

• Decrease the risk of illness and injuries

• Anything else we didn't list here... 

​

I take a methodical approach with all my clients by considering your individualized health and sports-specific needs and goals. I help you reach your goals by addressing your current challenges and using my extensive education, experience, and expertise in medical nutrition therapy and sports-specific nutrition to provide an individualized, realistic nutrition plan you can achieve. I am passionate about nutrition, particularly sports nutrition. I have a Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD) and hold an International Olympic Committee Diploma of Sports Nutrition. These credentials allow me to provide the most current, evidence-based, safe, and effective recommendations.
