My coaching style

I am a firm believer of Hippocrates line of thinking, “let food be thy medicine”. What we fuel with and when we fuel can make a huge difference in how our body performs in every sense of the word (athletically and general health). I look forward to not only showing you the tools that will help you climb your personal performance peak but also teaching you the science as to why. I create custom menu plans centered on balanced whole food nutrition and provide personalized lifestyle coaching to help each individual achieve their unique health, fitness, and performance goals in a healthy, science-based, and sustainable manner.

On your marks...we all have our individual reasons for making it to the starting line and different goals as we journey towards the finish line. My mission is to get you to the finish line knowing you performed to and even beyond your expectations.

Client testimonials

Hear what our clients have to say about working with

Kim Mueller

I always used to worry about staying lean and fit at racing weight throughout the season; it wasn’t easy nor was my performance optimal. Kim listened to my needs and my limitations (I work full time and fit running around that) and she gave me a systematic and practical daily and race nutrition plan that gave me results. After working with Kim, my marathon time went from 2’23” to 2’18” over the course of a year - it looks like just a couple of minutes but at this level, a minute is an enormous difference!

I instantly felt like I was in the right hands upon first speaking with Kim. Aside from her impressive athletic resume, Kim knows her stuff and her thorough nutrition evaluation and applications with a custom daily menu and detailed race nutrition plan puts you on the right path. Following her nutrition plan, I was able to arrive at a lean racing weight, while still maintaining my strength and energy AND her detailed race day performance fueling schedule, including a carbohydrate loading menu and actual timed consumption of my nutrition pre-race, during each leg of my race, and post-race, eliminated the GI issues that had plagued me for the bulk of my athletic career and lead me to huge PRs in both 70.3 and Ironman triathlon including a qualification to the World Champs. Thank you Kim for helping me finally nail my nutrition!
