Hello!

My name is McKenna. I graduated from Messiah University in 2017 with a dual bachelors’ degree in nutrition and exercise science and went on to complete the dietetic internship and Master’s in Business Administration program through Messiah after this. I currently hold credentials as a board certified sports dietitian, ACSM exercise physiologist, and NSCA strength and conditioning specialist. I have utilized these skillsets in working with a variety of populations over the past 7 years, from children to masters athletes and everything in between. Having played high school soccer, competed in collegiate track and field as a sprinter/hurdler, and now racing Ironman triathlons, ultramarathons and trail races, I have enjoyed growing my experience through my own personal athletic endeavors as well. I have a passion for equipping people to confidently fuel their bodies so as to maximize their longevity, performance, and overall well-being. As a dietitian, I am able to consider the impact of various medical conditions on nutritional needs and evaluate lab work so as to more thoroughly individualize my clients’ nutrition plans. Below are some more examples of specific areas where I can provide guidance.

* Eating disorders
* Food allergies, intolerance
* Body composition
* Diabetes
* Hypoglycemia
* Hypertension
* Hyperlipidemia
* Inflammatory bowel disease
* Irritable bowel syndrome
* PCOS
* Vegetarian/vegan diets
* Endurance athletes—gut training, race fueling, maximizing training sessions
