Sports Nutrition for Athletes

Sports nutrition supports performance, strength, recovery, and body composition. Athletes benefit from working with a sports nutritionist to improve fueling strategies, manage weight, and support training demands without relying on unsafe supplements or restrictive habits.

Nutrition HealthWorks provides sports nutrition counseling through telehealth and in person visits. Registered dietitian nutritionists work with athletes across multiple states via telehealth, with in person care available at select locations. Plans are individualized based on metabolism, sport demands, and performance goals.

Sports nutrition services support athletes of all ages, including children and teens. Proper nutrition and hydration are especially important during growth and development.

Dietitians work with families through telehealth and in person care to balance carbohydrates, protein, and fats. Care also supports adequate vitamin and mineral intake, meal planning, hydration strategies, and clear guidance around supplement use.

Athlete Macronutrient Planning

Carbohydrates, protein, and fats support energy production, recovery, and body composition. Sports nutrition counseling also supports vegetarian and vegan athletes using plant based fueling strategies.

Hydration Planning for Athletes

Hydration needs vary by sport, environment, and sweat rate. Dietitians help athletes avoid under hydration and over hydration by calculating individualized fluid and electrolyte needs.

Let me spread the word as I continue to learn so much about diet and how it must be individually applied for optimal health. Nutrition Healthworks and Lydia have helped me navigate nutrition facts versus fiction (there is a lot of that out there) as well as improving sleep and hydration. She has helped me tweak some things that as a lifelong athlete I thought I knew but I didn’t know. This has been very helpful and you need to connect. I connected through the Y and BCBS but however you do it this is my place to go!

“I’ve learned so much in working with Kelly over the past year. She listens closely to what I’m sharing and helps me develop achievable and actionable goals. She’s helped me develop a solid sports nutrition plan in training for my ultra and half marathon. In addition to her vast nutritional knowledge, she is kind and truly cares about my welfare. She’s positive and encouraging. She stays on top of all of our follow up items and follows through on every action item. I’m grateful for Kelly’s guidance and genuine care in my nutrition journey!
