Nutrition Coaching for Individual Athletes

Dr. Schubert provides motivation and accountability as the nutrition coach, but you get to discover who you are, define your goals, and dream the big dreams.

In our nutrition education services for individual athletes, you meet with a nationally credentialed sports dietitian, Dr. Laurie Schubert.  She assesses your current practices and needs and provides education and information.  Together, you come up with a plan for improving your nutrition and tracking that implementation. 

• Get unstuck! Choose goals that resonate with you.
• Get past that lack of motivation or self-confidence. Get past the overwhelm.
• Build new or healthier habits to become a more successful, better-prepared athlete and person.

Dr. Schubert requires a minimum of three months of subscription services to develop goals, work through problems, and realize breakthroughs. This service is renewable.

Topics covered can include:

• What and when to eat for day-to-day training
• What and how to eat on competition days
• Hydration needs and sweat tests
• Body composition change
• Sample menus
• Dietary supplement guidelines and safety resources
• Nutrition tips for travel
• Guidance on exercising with a medical condition or medications
• A series of appointments to address gastrointestinal issues
