About Elena
Elena graduated with a Bachelor's in Food Science and Nutrition with a Dietetics emphasis from Central Washington University where she also ran on the cross country and track & field team. This is where her passion for sports nutrition began and she went on to graduate from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs with her Master's in Sports Nutrition. Elena has worked in various settings ranging from clinical nutrition, to public health, and now tactical/sports nutrition.
Approach to care
Elena takes a well-rounded approach to nutrition and strongly believes in lifestyle changes, not dieting. She believes in making small changes that don't overwhelm you and understands that nutrition is not "one size fits all". Patience is key with nutrition and she will be there to support you the whole way.
Your first session with Elena
Your first nutrition session will help Elena to learn all about you and to start developing an individualized plan for you. Please make sure you complete your intake forms prior to your first session and be prepared to answer questions related to your medical history, lifestyle habits, and nutrition challenges.
