Personalized Nutrition Plans

Every personalized plan at Fuel Tank Nutrition begins with a comprehensive Nutritional Assessment - the same science-based process used in clinical and performance settings. With both bachelor's and master's degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, I evaluate the key factors that influence your fueling needs, including: 

  • Metabolic Demands
  • Training load and recovery cycles
  • Body composition and weight-class considerations
  • Dietary patterns and nutrient gaps
  • Hydration status
  • Performance goals and sport-specific requirements

Using validated assessment tools and evidence-based methods, I translate your data into a custom fueling strategy designed to optimize energy, support recovery, and enhance performance.

Whether you're managing weight, preparing for competition, or building long-term nutrition habits, your plan is grounded in science - and informed by over 20 years of lived experience as a boxer and MMA fighter. 

This isn't generic meal planning. It's precision nutrition tailored to your physiology, your sport, and your goals. 

 

Recovery Nutrition Coaching

Recovery is where performance is built - and your nutrition plays a crucial role. With both bachelor's and master's degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, plus over 20 years of experience  experience as a boxer and MMA fighter, I use validated nutrition science to help athletes recover faster, reduce fatigue, and stay competition-ready.

Your recovery coaching starts with a targeted nutritional assessment that evaluates: 

  • Post-training metabolic demands
  • Muscle glycogen depletion
  • Protein turnover and repair needs
  • Hydration status and electrolyte balance
  • Inflammation markers and recovery barriers
  • Sleep, stress, and fueling patterns

Using this data, I design a personalized recovery protocol that supports:

  • Optimal glycogen replenishment
  • Muscle repair and protein synthesis
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Improved hydration and electrolyte restoration
  • Enhanced readiness for the next training session or competition

This is not generic "eat more protein" advice - it's precision recovery nutrition built from clinical assessment, sports science, and lived athletic experience.

Recover smarter. Perform stronger. Stay ready.

Fuel Tank Nutrition: Where Evidence‑Based Practice Meets Real Athletic Experience

Fuel Tank Nutrition was built on the belief that every athlete — from youth competitors to seasoned professionals — deserves access to science‑driven nutrition guidance that actually works. With both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Nutrition & Dietetics, I bring advanced academic training together with over 20 years of experience as a boxer and MMA fighter to deliver coaching that is grounded in research and shaped by lived performance.

I’ve been in the ring. I’ve cut weight. I’ve pushed through high‑intensity training cycles, managed recovery, and learned firsthand how nutrition can make or break performance. That experience fuels my commitment to helping athletes understand their bodies, optimize their fueling, and build habits that support long‑term success.

At Fuel Tank Nutrition, every plan begins with a comprehensive nutritional assessment — the same evidence‑based process used in clinical and sports‑performance settings. Whether you’re preparing for competition, navigating weight‑class demands, improving recovery, or building foundational nutrition skills, your plan is tailored to your physiology, your sport, and your goals.

Beyond performance coaching, Fuel Tank Nutrition is also home to Fuel Tank Fueling, a community‑centered program dedicated to empowering youth and underserved populations through hands‑on nutrition education. This work reflects our core mission: making nutrition accessible, practical, and transformative for every individual we serve.

Fuel Tank Nutrition is more than a coaching service — it’s a commitment to science, community, and the belief that better fuel builds stronger athletes and stronger futures.
