Grounding science in everyday nourishment.
Bringing a whole-body, functional approach to nutrition for athletes and active lives — with a focus on eating more, not less.
Under-eating is a silent struggle for active people.
Food is fundamental to physiological, metabolic, and cognitive function. We cannot take a whole-body approach to health without first addressing a lack of nourishment.
When considering many of the issues experienced by active people,
we can see that a lot of them may actually stem from not eating enough.
✔︎ Fatigue
✔︎ Excessive soreness from training
✔︎ Feeling dizzy or lightheaded
✔︎ Reduced strength & endurance
✔︎ Poor focus & motivation
✔︎ Infrequent or missing periods
✔︎ Low sex hormones
✔︎ High cortisol
✔︎ Low libido
✔︎ Chronic injuries & frequent illness
✔︎ Poor sleep & frequent waking at night
✔︎ Night sweats
✔︎ Headaches
✔︎ Constipation & other GI issues
✔︎ Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable

“Before working with Emily I felt extremely uncomfortable eating most foods. She helped me improve my gut health and debunk myths that I had around food that limited in my intake. Now, I feel comfortable eating foods I thought I'd never be able to eat again! Emily is super knowledgeable, supportive, and I highly recommend her to any athlete who is looking to dial in their nutrition to improve their well-being and performance.”

“Emily is a miracle worker! Her supportive, upbeat and educated demeanor made me feel really encouraged, comfortable and understood. She singlehandedly transformed my relationship with my body, mind and food to one that I didn't think was possible.”
Emily
“It sounds dramatic but my life is very different than it was six months ago. I enjoy my food, fuel myself so I don’t walk around hungry or irritable. I love exercising so much more and have experienced so many non scale victories, like lifting heavier, and having muscles I never had before. The biggest thing to me though is how healthy my hormones feel and how that makes everyday life so much better.”
