My role is to build a fuel plan to support your unique eating style and performance goals, while providing accountability throughout.
Diane Johnson RD, CSSD I provide nutrition support and services to athletes looking to enhance their training and performance. I am a Saint Louis University grad with a Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics with an emphasis in Physical Performance and a former D1 XC and T&F athlete at the University of Arkansas. I worked alongside Senior Sports Dietitians in T&F and Swimming at the Olympic Training Center, providing nutrition assessments and consultations with athletes and coaches to aid in training and competition. Additionally, I am working towards becoming a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor to help individuals overcome over-, under-, emotional, and restrictive eating. I offer nutrition services to teach you how to eat to achieve a healthy weight and lifelong relationship with food. I want to help you manage your weight the right way and supercharge your energy to gain optimal performance. I offer 1-on-1 nutrition assessments to better understand your nutrition related goals and follow up consultations to ensure I have made the right meal plan for you. Additionally, I offer quick and healthy recipes, grocery store lists, and accountability through MyFitnessPal to help make nutritious eating relaxing and fun! |
