Real Food – Whole Body Health For Athletes – Faith-Based Recovery
______________________________________
Welcome to holistic nutrition for athletes! Here you will discover the power of real food nutrition and anti-inflammatory protocols. We’ll show you how to fuel your body, mind, spirit and sport so you can discover the power of your body at every age.
Symptoms like chronic GI distress, arthritis, pain and fatigue are indicators that something is out of balance and out of God’s order. Usually after periods of acute or chronic stress, you start to feel bad but you ignore it. But it doesn’t go away. It gets worse. Then age adds peri-menopause, weight gain and cardiovascular issues and doctors say “get used to it – you’re getting older” ..I say BaLonEy!
My goal is to help you uncover the real reason why you don’t feel well and help you heal from inside out with basic foundational tools.
We’ll introduce you to the power of real-food nutrition for athletes, and we’ll keep peeling, healing and repairing the layers of your onion until you are feeling like your best self again…for life.
Getting older as an athlete doesn’t have to suck. You just need to know how to eat for your body and your best life.
The ‘secret’ is in addressing nutrition, inflammation AND stress, especially the wounded memories from childhood.
“If anyone can fix me, Joanna can.
She always knows what questions to ask to get to the cause of the issue, then find the easiest and most
appropriate answer.” Jeff G
My job is to keep asking questions as to why this is happening, and help you connect the dots between your symptoms and your food, stress and/or lack of sleep. It’s not a one-size-fits-all plan but we always rebuild the foundation with eating more real food, balancing the blood sugar and microbiome and helping you lower inflammation and stress.
We create a realistic plan to bring your body back to balance and whole body health so you can be your best athlete at every age!
You are a intricate system not a summation of parts – we rebuild that foundation so healthy habits becomes your daily norm.
If you cannot repeat it, it isn’t going to help. So we help find options together that work with your real life over some rigid plan.
No fad diets. Just real food and what your body and soul need.
Discover the power of nutrition for athletes, so you can get more out of your body and life, the way God intended.
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24: “May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together—spirit, soul, and body— …”
Joanna built me the most amazing nutrition plan …!
I’d love more people to know the power of nutrition! BC

22 years ago, after my first Ironman triathlon, I kept training 2+ hours per day to cope with stressors as my body was shutting down. I ignored that I was wired, tired and everything hurt. It wasn’t until I got sick that I learned how to fuel my body, eat real food instead of energy bars and coffee to get through my next workout, and manage my stress differently.
I had to learn how I got sick, the “how did I get here?” question, so I could really recover and be my new best self and athlete again……and remember who it was God created me to be: a playful, curious daughter of God, a problem solver and athlete.
I learned that my body could heal! And I want to help your body, mind and soul heal through the power of nutrition for athletes!
Sometimes we’ll have to work through the emotional triggers or stress challenges so we can truly heal and recover the right way.
Are you ready to discover the power of nutrition for athletes?
“Joanna has been such a bright light in my life.
She has brought me reassurance and comfort for who I am while offering encouragement and suggestions that are realistic and come from experience. … She has made me a better athlete and healthier in every way possible.
If you could use improvement in any part of your health or life, I recommend sitting down with Joanna.
You will not regret it! She is the true definition of a life coach. <3” – SS
Why we are different
I intuitively know which questions to ask to uncover the true reasons behind your symptoms.
I create a safe space so you can be heard and tell your story and unload that stressor.
You learn how and when to eat for your body, your training and recovery – beyond basic nutrition for athletes.
We’ll help you discover many hidden blessings and revelations about yourself in your own personal whole-body health journey. Plus, I make taking care of you easier and realistic , more than just eating kale or wheat grass shots every day.
What do you have to lose but the symptoms?
I offer personalized sessions because no 2 people are alike even with the same symptoms!
Do you want to feel better? Then let’s get started with a chat!
