Why work with a Sports RD?
As the only credentialed professionals authorized to provide Medical Nutrition Therapy, Registered Dietitians (RD) offer unparalleled expertise and guidance tailored specifically to an athlete's needs. Moreover, entrusting non-credentialed individuals for nutrition advice beyond the basics can pose significant liability risks for teams, organizations, and institutions.
Additionally, sports dietitians play a pivotal role in enhancing performance while minimizing time lost to injury or illness. They meticulously assess and monitor body composition and weight, ensuring athletes achieve their goals in a realistic and safe manner, thereby averting potential body image issues and eating disorders. Furthermore, sports dietitians possess specialized knowledge to evaluate supplements and fortified foods, ensuring both the athlete's health and eligibility are safeguarded.
Collaborating with a sports dietitian is not only advantageous for an athlete's performance but also crucial for their overall well-being and longevity in their sport while providing them with a competitive edge over their rivals.

Dr. Kelsey “Cece” Reeder, DCN, RD
My journey into the world of nutrition was inspired by over two decades of dance experience, igniting my fascination with the intricate relationship between food and physical performance. After dancing for four years at the collegiate level and graduating with a Bachelors in Health Sciences from Furman University, I continued my education and obtained a Doctorate in Clinical Nutrition from Fairfield University.
Now, as a passionate sports registered dietitian, I am commitment to enhancing athletic performance and am dedicated to empowering athletes with the knowledge and guidance they need to optimize their nutrition and fuel their workouts effectively.
Let's embark on this journey together, unlocking your full potential through tailored dietary strategies.
