Megan Hellner, DrPH, MPH, RD
Founder
Hello! I’m a registered dietitian with 20 (ish) years of experience treating athletes with eating disorders. Throughout my career, I’ve partnered with numerous sport organizations nationwide as both a clinician and educator, and served as a founding dietitian for several eating disorder treatment programs.
I’m deeply passionate about helping athletes overcome their challenges with nutrition and properly fuel for both peak performance and longevity in their sport. I also love supporting athletes through the process of reconciling food and body image issues as they navigate different stages of their athletic careers—whether it’s competition, off-season, pregnancy/postpartum, injury, or retirement from sport.
I’m also a proud wife and mama of two wonderful little boys, and a long-time resident of San Diego, CA.
I look forward to working together!
