Sports Dietitian in Austin, TX
Training harder is not always the answer.
Sometimes performance starts improving when fueling becomes more consistent. That may mean eating enough, timing meals and snacks around training, recovering more intentionally, and learning what your body needs to keep up with the work you’re asking from it.
Khan RD offers sports nutrition counseling for runners, lifters, endurance athletes, active teens, and active adults who want to support performance without falling into rigid food rules.
Sessions are available in Austin and through telehealth across Texas.
