Anna Mitchell MS RD

Why work with a Sports Dietitian?

Whether you are a weekend warrior, marathon runner, or high school athlete, I’d love to work with you! As a sports dietitian and endurance athlete myself, I understand the important role of nutrition in athletic performance. I will work with you to create a nutrition & hydration plan that will fuel your workouts, promote recovery, prevent injury, and improve performance. With me, you will boost your confidence and take the next step towards meeting your goals.

 
 

What people are saying

“Prior to working with Anna I didn’t eat very well and I was tired, hungry and not performing my best on my runs. Anna helped me think more about the choices I made related to when and what I eat. My pace has gotten faster and I have a lot more energy on my runs and throughout the day. Anna is sincere and wants you to succeed in your goals. She truly puts in the time and effort to help you.”
— Lauren D
“As I was preparing for my first marathon, Anna helped me to create a race fueling plan that i felt comfortable with and confident in. I had little knowledge of how to accurately fuel during that long of a race, and anna was an expert and shared so much helpful information. She went the extra mile to check out the specifics of my race and create a very detailed plan i could follow. Her plans are easy to implement and understand.”
— Olivia H
“Anna helped me understand how to implement small changes that, over time, led to great gains in my overall nutritional health. Her gentle guidance as I worked through different fueling options and confronted food rules gave me a safe space in which to experiment. I don’t obsess over food like I used to, I’m not hungry all the time, and I have more energy during runs and throughout my day.”
— Amanda W
“If you’ve struggled with disordered eating and are worried about working with a nutritionist because of it, Anna is the nutritionist you need. The changes she guided me to were small and very manageable, and she always kept the focus on nourishment, feeling full and strong, and not restricting or cutting foods out. I feel like I have more knowledge of what to eat to feel satisfied for daily snacks, how to best fuel for pre- and during workouts, how much protein I really need as an athlete, and none of these things required drastic changes to my life. ”
— Nicky
“I came to Anna with very versatile and unique needs. Not only was Anna able to support me with all of these needs, but she also listened to my struggles and helped me gain some much needed perspective. Anna is an incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated dietitian and a very compassionate and caring person. As a result of Anna’s expertise, I have been able to make many necessary lifestyle changes related to exercise and nutrition. I am so thankful to have been able to work with her and grateful for everything I have learned from her.”
— Emily O
“I have felt good, especially in races, now that my iron levels are back to normal thanks to diet changes & supplementation. I actually had a kick at the end, which I don’t normally have when I’m low in iron”
— sarah F
“Anna was very diligent in explaining the reasons why changes would help me feel stronger during workouts, promote recovery, and improve my overall performance. From how to fuel for workouts to how to handle nutrition while traveling, Anna provided specific insight on a vast range of topics. I recommend working with Anna if you’re looking to make sustainable changes that help you to feel your best.”
— Cecile D
“It was a pleasure working with Anna. She helped me understand and identify my goals as a collegiate athlete to perform at my best. I have gained knowledge of what my body needs and when it needs it in order to be successful.”
— Anna F
“Before working with anna, I was struggling with fueling for long distance running as I aged. Anna taught me proper ways to fuel for long distances along with undoing all of the food “rules” I had created for myself. This was an excellent experience and truly helped me learn where I had gaps in fueling and hydration. ”
