Our Philosophy
Why Performance Nutrition Matters
If you’re active, food is fuel—period. But too many women fall into the trap of eating too little, thinking it will help them lean out or improve performance. In reality, underfueling is sabotaging your progress.
💡 Signs your nutrition isn’t working for you:
✅ You’re constantly tired, no matter how much you sleep
✅ Your performance is plateauing or getting worse
✅ You’re always sore and struggle to recover
✅ You’ve lost your period or have irregular cycles
✅ You feel stuck, frustrated, or unsure if you’re eating enough
✅ You’re trying to be “healthy,” but food feels stressful or confusing
If any of these sound like you, I’ve been there too. For years, I underestimated my own nutrition needs—hiking 7–10 miles a day, doing CrossFit 4x a week, rock climbing 4x a week, and eating only 1,900 calories a day. At 5’10” and 160 lbs, that was absurd. I thought I was eating “enough,” but in reality, my body was screaming for more fuel.
Once I stopped underfueling and started eating for performance, everything changed—better recovery, improved endurance, and strength gains that finally stuck.
Now, I help active women and endurance athletes fuel the right way—so you can train harder, recover faster, and feel your best.
What we Do:
At Risk Nutrition Co., we take the guesswork out of nutrition so you can stop second-guessing every bite and start fueling with confidence.
🔹 Personalized Performance Nutrition Coaching: Custom strategies based on your training & lifestyle
🔹 Breaking the Cycle of Underfueling: Learn to fuel for strength, endurance, and longevity
🔹 Performance & Recovery Optimization: Pre/post-workout fueling, hydration, and sustainable strategies
🔥 You don’t have to cut more, train harder, or push through exhaustion to improve or optimize your training— you have to fuel better.
Who We Work with:
We specialize in helping active women and recreational athletes optimize their fueling without over-restriction, overthinking, or burning out.
✔ Endurance Athletes – (Ultra)marathoners, triathletes, cyclists, and weekend warriors
✔ Strength Trainers & Hybrid Athletes – Lifters, CrossFitters, climbers, and OCR athletes
✔ Active Women Trying to Balance Fitness & Nutrition – No more diet culture, just performance-focused fueling

“Jess changed the way I look at food and helped me build confidence in my body without feeling restricted. I learned that progress isn’t about being perfect — it’s about showing up consistently and giving yourself grace on the hard days. Thanks to Jess, I feel better than ever, and I’ve carried the habits we built together into my daily life. Even after I stopped tracking, I know what my body needs and how to fuel it — without guilt or second-guessing. Jess truly changed my life for the better!”
SARAH, Sports Management Professional & Recreational Lifter
“Working with Jess was a great experience! She’s super knowledgeable about nutrition for different lifestyles and helped me calculate what I needed (calories and macros) for my season of fitness. She helped me understand ways I was underfueling and offered suggestions for how to increase my protein intake, especially given my limited cooking resources (think dorm-style living). With a lot of differing perspectives floating around the internet, Jess’s knowledge was research-backed, educational and informative, and good for my holistic wellbeing. I also appreciated the accountability that came with her weekly check-ins! She helped me set practical, attainable goals that moved me towards better fueling habits for my lifestyle. She truly cares about her clients. I would definitely recommend Jess to anyone looking for nutrition guidance to begin balanced eating or to take their fitness performance to the next level.”
