Jennifer Chandler, Holistic Health (8 sessions)

Through holistic nutrition, we look at the whole person — not just what you eat, but how you live, sleep, train, and recover. Each of these factors impacts performance, energy, and longevity in sport.

Boost energy and endurance with strategic, wholesome fueling.
Recover faster and reduce inflammation through anti-inflammatory foods and meal timing.
Enhance focus and mental clarity with stable blood sugar and brain-nourishing nutrients.
Develop sustainable habits that support both athletic goals and long-term wellness.

When athletes and families understand the connection between nutrition, recovery, and mindset, they perform better — and feel better doing it. Jennifer's mission is to help you (or your team) create that strong foundation from the inside out.

If you’re ready to learn how holistic nutrition can help you perform, recover, and thrive — let’s begin.
