Endurance Nutrition with Liz
Helping active individuals and athletes eat & exercise without rigid rules to be stronger and more energized for life and sport
Hi, I'm Liz!
As a Registered Dietitian and runner, I understand firsthand how to fuel yourself intuitively and balanced to live life fully and compete at your best. When working with me, you will learn how to connect with your body’s intuition and fuel yourself without rigid rules to achieve a better pace in life and competition.
I have been a registered dietitian since 2007 and have been running 28+ years. My running career started in middle school and lead me to be a Division 1 athlete in track and field and cross country. Now, I run half-marathons, and marathons because it brings me joy and is my movement outlet. I am passionate about helping endurance athletes and active individuals create flexible and joyful eating habits that come from a place of kindness verses criticism.
I compassionately encourage, provide a non-judgmental space, and I am a kind-hearted coach that will guide you to look beyond extremes and fuel intuitively to get more mileage out of your sport and in life.
Even though, there is the word “diet” in my profession name, I have learned following a rigid diet plan does not work. Instead it creates a relationship with food that causes guilt and shame and leads you to distrust your own bodies natural cues of hunger and fullness.
Personal Background
- Bachelors of Science in Human Nutrition and Food Science, with a Minor in Chemistry, New Mexico state University
- Dietetic Internship, Sodexho Distance Dietetic Internship
- Division 1 runner in cross country and track and field; specializing in the 5,000 m and 10,000 m
- Current half-marathon and marathon runner. Completing 9 marathons
My Philosophy
I am dedicated to helping you look beyond the extremes and fuel yourself intuitively to get more milage out of your sport and life. With my guidance you will connect with your body’s internal wisdom so you can rediscover better ways to use food that’s not extreme and find the foods that bring you joy. Your body deserves kindness over punishment. I will help you regain a perspective that winning is a mindset that you can control, regardless of your pace in life and competition, and how an intuitive approach will give you the freedom your searching for in food, movement, and your wellbeing.
Eating joy
Pace yourself for the long run by tuning into your intuition and listening to your body’s needs. From the foods you fuel with to your perceptions of a fit physique, pace yourself and find balance to sustain your body’s performance for the long run.
Movement Joy
Move away from the ideal that a hardcore, rigid mindset makes you competitive. Allow yourself to be supported and feel good. There’s no need to punish or judge your self when support and kindness will take you further. You’ll last much longer if you don’t
Wellbeing joy
Stay adaptable, and you’ll always win! From racing to everyone in everyday life, you can’t always expect everything to go your way. Stay flexible with realistic goals and adaptable to life; only then will you gain a perspective that everyday you’re trying your best is a win.

Kind Words from
Happy Clients
Liz helped me make the connection that my low energy levels was the way my body was telling me I was hungry. I often avoided eating due to the fear of gaining weight. I have learned to let go of my fear. And now I know it’s ok to eat and I feel so much better. I now have so much energy!”
Melissa
“I am so glad I found you! I loved that you didn’t make me eat a certain way or make me feel I was wrong for liking certain foods. Thank you for all your guidance and advice!”
Carly
I am now excited about food, about trying new foods, cooking, grocery shopping with a plan. I recognize my hunger levels and eating when I want, even if I didn’t run or exercise! I’m so grateful that I can eat without fear!”
