The Functional Nutrition Clinic’s purpose is to help the young riders feel their best, in order that they can function at their very best.

We educate the riders on what’s going on in their bodies and show them how they can make uniquely targeted diet and lifestyle modifications to help them meet their goals. We work on bio-individuality, the knowledge that each person’s biology is as unique as their fingerprint.  There is no one diet fits all.  We work with the riders’ individual needs building their strength, energy, stamina, and focus. The Functional Nutrition Clinic champions the notion that all things matter – your daily habits, what you eat and drink, your environment, exercise, sleep, stress, and relaxation.  We support and motivate the riders to achieve optimum performance.
