About us

FAQs

How does nutrition affect my athletic performance?

A solid nutritional foundation complements your training and athletic performance by allowing your body to recover more optimally, repair muscles, and prevent injury. It is also imperative to achieving mental clarity for sharper focus, as well as efficient and full digestion so that you feel light and ready to conquer your day.

After all, training only gets you so far. Nutrition is the missing key to unlock your greatest potential.

I thought I had a good working knowledge of health and diet, however, after working with SportFuel® the additional knowledge I have gained allowed me to dramatically increase my understanding of how I need to eat and the best vitamins and minerals for me individually. What has impressed me the most was their ability to identify my areas of nutritional deficiency and how through nutrition I can further improve my health. I would recommend SportFuel® to anyone who is interested in better health! It is a great group of people who deliver very impressive results!

SportFuel (Julie Burns) can really help balance your body and mind in a complete way. Julie's ability to curate individual nutritional and wellness plans for my wife and me exceeded our expectations. Through her customized supplement, vitamin, and menu planning we have had solid results. We have noticed improvements in our health, weight management, sleep, exercise, and flexibility (golf swings). We highly endorse Sportfuel—five stars all around.
