Kristen Arnold

Kristen Arnold brings a comprehensive approach to sports nutrition, focusing on performance nutrition, fueling strategies, and race-day fueling for endurance athletes. She is particularly attuned to the unique needs of female athletes and the importance of healthy relationships with food and body image. Kristen emphasizes the critical role coaches play in athlete wellbeing, advocating for awareness around language and messaging that can impact athletes' mental and physical health.

“Coaches are in a powerful position. You don't need to be a nutritionist, but you do need to be aware of what messages you're reinforcing. Saying things like 'you look fit' or praising weight loss without context can unintentionally cause harm.”
