Abby Burns

About Abby

I’m passionate about helping athletes fuel to perform at their best through personalized nutrition plans that support endurance, strength, and recovery. With a Master’s degree in Nutrition and hands-on experience working with collegiate athletes in both the Big Ten and SEC conferences, I bring a performance-focused, evidence-based approach to every session. I also work with non-athletes on goals like weight management, heart health, and overall wellness. My approach is realistic, sustainable, and tailored to fit your life—so you can feel your best and reach your full potential.

Approach to care

My philosophy is centered on collaboration—I believe in working with you to create nutrition strategies that fit seamlessly into your life. I take the time to listen, understand your habits, and help you make small, realistic changes that are both sustainable and effective. My goal is to support lasting progress toward your performance goals and overall health.

Your first session with Abby

During our first session, we’ll get to know each other and dive into your current lifestyle, eating habits, health history, and goals. I’ll ask questions to better understand what’s working for you and where you’re looking for support. Together, we’ll begin creating a personalized plan and set realistic goals tailored to your needs. You’ll leave with a clear direction and practical steps you can feel confident about putting into action.
