The goal of Minnesota Sport & Wellness Nutrition, LLC is to sift through the misinformation, to get to the truth of what will help athletes train and compete at optimal levels. From the serious athlete looking to dial in their race day nutrition plan, to the average athlete looking to improve their health and body, Minnesota Sport & Wellness Nutrition, LLC has what it takes to help you reach your goals.

  • Obesity
  • Diabetes

What is a Registered Dietitian (RD) and why should I seek one?
In today's health industry, there exists a plethora of self-proclaimed health gurus, nutritionists, and holistic practitioners. While these individuals have clearly established themselves from a marketing perspective, they often do not have the education to back up their claims and promises.

When you work with an RD, however, you are GUARANTEED the following:
  • Baccalaureate or postgraduate degree from an accredited university
  • No less than 900 hours of preprofessional practice experience
  • Successful completion of the registration examination for dietitians
Be aware, almost anyone can call themselves a nutritionist with very little education, training, or expertise. While often times they help you get short-term results through extreme practices, the safety and long-term sustainability of their advice should be questioned. Do yourself a favor and seek the services of The Nutrition Experts, Registered Dietitians.
