Nutrition coaching for endurance athletes to improve performance and body composition through a simple and flexible eating style.  

Hi, there!

I'm Alex, a small-town Minnesota dietitian and age-group triathlete and runner.

I felt my calling the moment I crossed the finish line of Ironman Wisconsin. I knew I wanted to support other athletes in fueling their epic endurance endeavors. 

I love teaching endurance athletes how to fuel with more food while keeping nutrition simple and do-able!

Figuring out your nutrition won't happen overnight. It's all dedicating yourself to progress, not perfection with your fueling.

"The 112 mile bike went well! I felt good the entire time. The 5 mile run following felt good too. The first mile took me time to get my HR down, but after that I felt like I could go longer. I didn't have a sloshy tummy! So happy about that!

Following Alex's fueling guidance for my long runs has been LIFE CHANGING. I feel strong the whole time with no dips in energy. I finish feeling energized, not depleted and tired all day. I can go out and do another long run the next day with no energy issues. I honestly cannot believe how much I suffered unnecessarily before. Thank you, Alex!

"Alex, I need you to know how much your nutrition advice has positively influenced my athletic goals. My performance at the gym and during my workouts is at an all-time-high and I'm using weights in workouts that I would be struggling with just a few months ago."

I've had the privilege and joy to work with Alex. I knew I needed help  with marathon training for Chicago and Philly. I saw major differences. I FELT great. For anyone looking for guidance, I could not recommend Alex more. She is a true pleasure to work with.

The ALN nutrition coaching program has helped me become a better athlete, and it helped me achieve goals that I never thought possible, like completing a 70.3 Ironman or a full marathon.

"Knowing it's only been just under a month since we started working together, but WOW! My last two weeks of workouts on the bike were tough, but with the plan and understanding from the last call, I'm absolutely smashing these 1.5+ workouts! Can't wait to see what the next few months will produce! Let's go! Thanks again!"

"Two weeks ago I said that I was feeling stronger, but this week I have noticed that even more. Bike watts are matching what I'd normally have when peaking later in the year. This is a good sign for later on! Running too has been better."

I went from a burnt out athlete in 2021 who feared carbs to a thriving triathlete who focused on fueling! I was able to greatly improve my overall fitness because I was eating enough and fueling my workouts properly. You genuinely cared about my progress and gave tons of great feedback throughout the process.

"Alex!!! I did it! 13.1 miles, slightly faster time and more importantly I felt good. Last time, I barely dragged myself the last three miles. I feel like working with you has made such a giant difference in just how I feel and has given me the energy to push to the next level. Thank you!!! Working with you is amazing!!!"

"So, for years, any time I trained I had gotten super bad headaches. But, I haven't had a headache related to exercise since starting with you. It's clearly nutrition related. Thank you for everything. This might sound dramatic, but you have been life changing."

I contacted Alex while training for my 2nd Ironman. I noticed I was running out of energy while training and not recovering that well. My dietitian coach, Hanna, significantly changed how I was fueling and kept in contact to make sure it was working. We made many changes during my training period. I finished the IM and never felt out of energy. Very positive experience.
