Fuel to Thrive

We are a group of dietitians and personal trainers wanting to help you optimize your health! We educate, empower, and walk alongisde our clients.

We love working with athletes, those with chronic GI conditions, and peri/menopausal women! Fuel can be looked at literally, as food, and metaphorically, as passions. I think we need to recognize what fuels us metaphorically before looking at what fuels us literally. What gets you excited? What gets you out of bed in the morning? Is it a competition you are training for, or is it the moments you get to spend playing with your grandkids? No matter what fuels you metaphorically, I can help you find what fuels you literally. I do this by living up to my mission: Redefine health. Empower individuals. Create lasting changes.

Pre & Post-Workout Snacks That Actually Support Your Body: Fueling around workouts doesn’t have to be complicated, and it shouldn’t upset your gut either. The goal is stable energy before and recovery after, using foods that are simple, effective, and customizable for your needs.

Pre-Workout Goal:
Quick-digesting carbohydrates to fuel movement and support performance. Try:
🍌 Banana with a little peanut butter
🍞 A couple slices of toast with jam
🍪 A Bobo’s oat bar or similar for a convenient, on-the-go option

These options provide easily accessible carbs, a little staying power, and are generally gentle on the GI tract.

Post-Workout Goal:
Support muscle repair and recovery with carbs plus protein. Try:
🥤 Protein smoothie (fruit + milk of choice + protein powder of choice)
🍓 Yogurt parfait (Greek yogurt, berries, granola)
🐟 Tuna salad with crackers
Carbs help replenish glycogen, while protein supports muscle recovery and growth; both matter.

These snacks are easy to modify for gluten-free, dairy-free, or other dietary needs. What matters most is timing, tolerance, and consistency, not perfection.

✨ Fuel to Thrive: 2025 in Review ✨⁠
⁠
Before we look ahead, we’re taking a moment to look back.⁠
⁠
2025 was a year of big client wins, meaningful work, and some pretty special personal accomplishments from our team—from finishing grad school and earning new certifications to summiting peaks, running PRs, and crossing major finish lines. 🏔️🏃‍♀️🎓⁠
⁠
These photos offer a glimpse into who we are and remind us why we love what we do. We’re so grateful to work alongside each other and with such an incredible community here in Spokane.

Almost 4 years strong with this incredible group of women 💪⁠
⁠
We feel so lucky to be part of their journey at Fuel to Thrive. One of them recently shared that as she’s gotten older, she’s felt stronger—with better balance, fewer injuries, and more confidence in her body. All thanks to her workouts with our personal trainer. But the part that really got us? She can keep up with her grandkids now. Running, playing, showing up as the grandma she always dreamed of being. This is why we do what we do 🤍⁠

I can’t believe it’s already Christmas! This season goes fast—but this year feels extra special seeing the magic through our two-year-old’s eyes.

A lot of people think dietitians dread the holidays—like we’re judging cookies or telling everyone to “stay on track.” That couldn’t be further from the truth.

At Fuel to Thrive, we believe food is more than fuel. It’s tradition, comfort, connection, and joy.

In our house, that means real (delicious) favorites every year:
• Christmas cookies
• Molasses cookies
• Chocolate peppermint anything
• And always our traditional cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning

Here’s what I remind clients: You don’t need to avoid holiday foods—you just want to eat them intentionally.

This Holiday season skip the guilt. Enjoy your traditions 🤍

We have officially entered into winter training🥶❄️

I actually am currently not training for a specific race! I qualified for Boston in June, but didn't actually hit the final qualifying cut off☹️ and it has left me trying to decide what is next...

BUT, I have had some awesome, very specific threshold and VO2 max training blocks that have left me feeling faster and stronger than...err ever?! I am also focusing on lifting heavier than I ever have. It has been really cool to have the time to let my fitness adapt in a way that I can see and feel it without the deadline of a race.

It is always a good reminder to me and my endurance athlete clients that goals don't always have to include races and finish lines!! And if you're looking for specific help, don't hesitate to reach out to a coach- whether that is me or not- to help you get there!

And yes, I also know I will get back to racing😁

Considering a GLP-1 medication? Maybe you’ve heard a friend talk about their experience, maybe your provider has brought it up, or maybe you’re just starting to explore your options.⁠
⁠
At Fuel to Thrive, we take a neutral, evidence-informed approach to GLP-1s. These medications can be incredibly valuable for the right person—but they work best when paired with nutrition guidance and a plan for long-term support.⁠
⁠
Here’s what we see every day as dietitians:⁠
✨ Some clients come to us thinking they need a GLP-1 and discover—through education, fueling strategies, and consistent support—that they can reach their goals without medication.⁠
✨ Others decide a GLP-1 is the right tool for them, and they feel safer, more confident, and more successful having a dietitian walk with them through the process.⁠
✨ And some begin working with us while already using a GLP-1 and are able to transition off sustainably, without the rapid regain or confusion that can happen without guidance.⁠
⁠
No matter what path you choose, you deserve support that looks at the whole picture—your habits, your metabolism, your relationship with food, and your long-term wellbeing.⁠
⁠
If you’re considering a GLP-1, already on one, or wondering what’s next, our registered dietitians are here to help you build a plan that considers your long term health.⁠
⁠

Thinking about signing up for a spring marathon, half marathon, or trail race? Or maybe your training is already underway—either way, running alone isn’t enough to reach your best performance.⁠
⁠
Smart fueling is just as important as mileage. It keeps your energy steady, speeds recovery, reduces the risk of injury and burnout, and helps you feel strong even after your longest training runs.⁠
⁠
At Fuel to Thrive, we help athletes:⁠
✔️ Build personalized fueling strategies for training and race day⁠
✔️ Optimize carbs, protein, and hydration for peak performance⁠
✔️ Practice fueling during long runs to prevent GI issues⁠
✔️ Recover faster with nutrition tailored to your needs⁠
⁠
When you fuel properly, your runs feel easier, your body recovers faster, and race day goes the way you planned.⁠
⁠
✨ Whether it’s your first race or your next PR, we help you train smarter—not just harder.⁠
