My Story
SPORTS DIETITIAN & EDUCATOR:
Jesse McGinley, MS, RD, CSSD, LDN
I’m extremely passionate in optimizing athletes performance through the scientific principles of sports nutrition.
As a former athlete, coach, current researcher, educator, and sports dietitian, I have come to learn that there is still a long way to go with integration of sports nutrition on an individual level and organizational level. The integration of dietitians in sport was much later compared to other interdisciplinary fields and we’re still playing catch up!
The first step to bridging this gap is: education.
When it comes to education, I firmly believe in meeting people where they are, providing an individualized blueprint and then empowering the athlete to then instill self-sustaining behaviors. My philosophy is rooted in science but it’s also rooted in people.
I help you find ways to integrate sports nutrition at the highest level, and explore nutritional psychology combined with physiological and metabolical data so it can impact performance and support all other disciplines in sports.
Sports nutrition is more than food …and more than smoothies
