Top Nutrition Coaching - Dietitian Biography I Courtney Pelitera

Approach to care

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 10 years of experience in the health and wellness industry, including a Bachelor's Degree in Sports & Exercise Science and a Master's Degree in Nutrition & Dietietics. Personally, my own experience having worked with a dietitian as a 3-sport high school athlete is what inspired me to become a dietitian myself. I learned the power that food can have and the difference that it can make in my own sports performance, and I am determined to teach others about how fueling with the right foods can make a world of difference in how you feel in your sport and how much better you can be as an athlete. I am also passionate about helping my clients to create healthy habits that fit their lifestyle and enhance their relationship with food and nutrition.

Hobbies

I enjoy the outdoors and adventures. Running has been a lifelong outlet for me and I am passionate about traveling to anywhere I can go for a beautiful hike with my two dogs. In the winter I am an avid skier and during the summer I enjoy building and expanding my garden. I'm also a huge foodie and love trying new restaurants and cuisines. I get tons of great recipe recommendations from clients!

More About This Dietitian

I believe that good nutrition and healthy habits are about so much more than just food! With my clients, I like to dive into the everyday schedules and struggles and create a truly personalized nutrition plan which meets the client where they are at.

I help my clients to set practical goals for themselves and empower them with the tools and the knowledge to execute those goals to the best of their ability.

"This Dietitian helped me get my life back”

Gia M.

Courtney was absolutely amazing! She really helped me get educated on how to look at my nutrition to drive my performance in the gym and pull together my macros in a way that made sense for my goals. She was super responsive and always came with great explanations to the questions I had and ensured she also referred to the research and experience she was using to answer my questions

Paul

I felt I learned how to approach food in a healthy long lasting way, the suited how I am as a person!

Andrea

I always felt like it was "real" - what I mean is that so often when you get nutrition help it's in the form of a restrictive diet. This felt applicable to my every day life and I learned skills that I can take with me for the rest of my life. Courtney is amazing to work with. She offered the compassionate - yet firm - guidance I needed to meet my goals. I have recommended her to every female athlete I know.
