Sports Nutrition Counseling
If you’re looking for sports nutrition counseling in California, your training deserves better than generic advice. Whether you’re a high school athlete pushing through double sessions, a collegiate competitor managing an intense schedule, or a recreational athlete who wants to feel better and perform at your best — what you eat matters more than most people realize.
At Fueled Nutrition Therapy, sports nutrition counseling takes a science-backed, individualized approach to fueling — one that works with your body, your sport, and your life. No generic meal plans. No pseudoscience. Just practical, evidence-based guidance from a Registered Dietitian with specialized training in performance nutrition.
Food isn't just fuel. It's recovery, focus, resilience, and longevity in your sport.
Who This Service Is For
High school and collegiate athletes looking to optimize performance and energy
Competitive and recreational athletes in any sport — endurance, strength, team, or individual
Athletes dealing with fatigue, poor recovery, or declining performance despite consistent training
Athletes who may be under-fueling — including those at risk for or recovering from RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport)
What Sports Nutrition Counseling Covers
Because every athlete’s demands are different, every plan is built differently. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all template, Elika builds fueling strategies around your specific sport, schedule, and goals.
Performance Fueling Strategy
Sport-specific nutrition plans that support your training demands, competition schedule, and energy needs — built around your actual life.
Hydration Planning
Individualized hydration strategies for training, competition, travel, and hot-weather performance.
Pre & Post-Training Nutrition
Practical timing and composition guidance for what to eat before, during, and after training to optimize energy and recovery.
Travel & Competition Nutrition
Practical tools for eating well on the road — at tournaments, meets, or away games when your usual routine isn’t possible.
Body Composition Goals
A weight-neutral, performance-first approach to body composition that prioritizes athletic output and long-term health over aesthetics.
Collaborative Care
Coordination with coaches, athletic trainers, physicians, and sports medicine professionals for integrated athlete support.
A Note on RED-S
What Is RED-S? Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) occurs when an athlete isn't consuming enough energy to support both their training load and normal body functions. It can affect bone density, hormonal health, immune function, mood, and performance — and it affects both female and male athletes. RED-S is often missed or dismissed, particularly in sports that emphasize leanness. Elika has specialized experience identifying and supporting athletes navigating RED-S recovery — with a focus on restoring health alongside performance.
Fuel Better. Feel Better.
