What to Expect
How Sports Nutrition Counseling Works
Your first session covers your sport, training load, current eating patterns, goals, and any performance concerns. Danielle builds a nutrition strategy tailored to your training calendar — not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Follow-up sessions refine your approach as your training evolves, address any issues that come up (GI distress during runs, energy crashes, plateau in body composition), and keep your plan aligned with your schedule.
