Katie Vaughn MS, RDN, CSSD, METS 1-HMP
I’m so grateful that you’re here! Let me introduce myself. I’m Katie, and I’m a Rochester, NY based sports dietitian, functional health coach, mom of two, runner and strength athlete. I provide personalized nutrition and functional health coaching for all levels of active individuals and athletes. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to nutrition. Everyone’s lifestyle, goals and physical makeup are completely different from one another. Being a sports dietitian, athlete and functional health coach, I help you understand the challenges that come with trying to figure out the right day-to-day fueling plan to improve your overall body composition and performance. I find that most clients feel they are doing all the right things, yet they are not seeing the changes they’re hoping for resulting in frustration and confusion. However, many are not taking a deep dive into their health looking at root cause issues to determine where they are getting stuck in the process.
If you’re are looking for weight loss, muscle gain, improvement in athletic performance, or managing a health condition such as hormonal imbalances or gut health issues, I use a very customized approach while providing guidance and support to help you achieve your goals in a realistic, non-restrictive manner.
I’m dedicated to teaching you the proper way to fuel your body to be the best version of yourself— fit, strong, energized, focused, time-efficient, and driven to succeed in all that you do. Learn how to fuel your body not only for your day-to-day, but for life!
