Alyssa Leib, MS, RD
I’m an anti-diet sports dietitian and lover of all things mountain sports.
I’ve been there, and I get it.
As a trail runner, I know what it’s like to bonk.
As a rock climber, I understand the frustration of pulley injuries.
I’ve worked through the challenges of packing food for a thru hike, navigated hydration and fueling issues while riding chair lifts and skinning up mountains, and felt the pressure to be lighter to succeed.
Who better to go to for your nutrition advice?
Nutrition Philosophy
As a dietitian, I believe that physical health matters. As an athlete, I understand the importance of performance. As a human being, I know that setting PRs and sending higher grades isn’t sustainable if it comes at the expense of your mental health.
That’s why I support all of my athletes in building and nurturing a positive relationship with food and with their bodies.
I believe in a focus on what to add - rather than on what to take away - to prevent injuries, perform better, and feel your best.
