About Me
The goal of this website is to share the importance of proper nutrition to improve health/optimize our body's metabolic function. Much of the information presented here is related to improving athletic performance but you will find a consistent nutrition theme. What is good for athletes is what is good for all of us. What is good for all of us? Mother natures food. Food you can hold in your hand and say this is a ____. Real food does not have a label and it is not food smashed into a box with 200 hundred ingredients most of us cannot pronounce. You will find no goal of perfection here, just the goal of getting people, especially athletes, to eat more real food. It is the food we survived on for thousands of years, food our bodies are designed to use, food without labels, without additives, preservatives, flavor enhancers, coloring's, and emulsifiers (chemicals).

I am a registered dietitian/nutritionist with a master of science degree in nutrition and dietetics from the University of Kansas Medical Center. Many dietitians are still trained classically that carbs are carbs, protein is protein and fat is fat and I want you to know that is simply not true. (under my research tab see "the governments bad diet advice" and The scientific report guiding the US dietary guidelines: is it scientific?)
Below you will see the elements that we are made of, that all life is made of. The primary vehicle for those elements to enter our bodies is via what we eat and drink. My goal is to improve the food/dietary intake to supply optimal nutrients while providing these sub straight elements. This important for good health and optimal athletic performance. I hope to use this website to promote this idea and as a resource to provide the latest and current research related to this topic.
