SPORTS NUTRITION COUNSELING
At Total Nutrition Counseling (TNC), we love working with athletes and those who have a passion for exercise. One of Melissa's specialties is working with athletes who want to optimize their performance. If you decide to work with us, we'll help you reach your desired goals, which often may include body composition changes, or improve overall performance and health. We accomplish these goals by creating a unique, customized meal plan and sports nutrition (hydration and fueling) requirements for your training/sport. Melissa individualizes your meal plan based on your specific athletic goals, phase of training, sport, and health. Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is incorporated into all sports nutrition counseling sessions. Providing MNT ensures that you receive a complete evaluation of your overall health, like your stage of life, labs, medical issues, eating behaviors. As a team effort, you and Melissa will work together to meet your health and athletic goals.

Week one is all about the importance of nutrition for athletes, and eating high-quality, whole, therapeutic foods. These modules include education on what foods are important to get into your daily diet and how to properly read labels for your health, even beyond what you may already know as an athlete. Every week, we have a one-on-one session discussing the modules and applying the information based on your individual, unique needs and health. At the first appointment, information from your intake form and 3 day food record will be assessed and recommendations will be provided. We'll discuss any recent lab work, medications, and evaluate any supplements, if needed. Anthropometric measurements, (body composition, measurements, etc. ) whether conducted at the first appointment or by a reliable method prior to the appointment will be evaluated and discussed. In addition any questions on the modules regarding the importance of nutrition for athletes. All 3 programs will provide a foundation meal plan based on your current health, training phase, intensity, frequency and duration, athletic goals, stage of life and health needs.
Each program has a sports nutrition outline addressing sports nutrition subjects for each week. For example, week three is Hydration, week four is Pre and During Fueling, week five is Recovery Nutrition, etc. No matter what the theme is, every session goals will be set and outcomes assessed. The sessions also include individualizing the information from the module that week, and any other nutritional issues. For example, you may have eating behaviors you want to work on, or medical issue like IBS. The focus is on both sports nutrition and your overall health!
