Lindsay is the real deal. She’s knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly invested in her clients’ success. As both an athlete and someone managing a chronic illness, I finally felt understood.

I can’t thank Lindsay enough for her incredible support in developing my nutrition and hydration plan for the 24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell. The metabolic efficiency testing (MET) provided great insights and served as a solid foundation for creating a personalized plan that worked perfectly for me.
The event couldn't have gone any better! I felt well-hydrated throughout the entire 24 hours, with no headaches or muscle cramps at all. My energy levels were stable from start to finish, allowing me to fully enjoy the experience.
Lindsay’s expertise and tailored approach truly made all the difference. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to optimize their nutrition and hydration for athletic events!
I started working with Lindsay on the recommendation from a friend when working with a different RD wasn’t a good fit for figuring out some gut issues. From the first appointment Lindsay said she thought it was SIBO and turns out after the formal testing (that my doctor didn’t really want to order) she was right! Working with Lindsay has been very helpful to figure things out and my symptoms have improved quite a bit. I would definitely recommend her to another friend!
No, I do not take insurance. My nutrition services are self-pay. Health insurance providers do not cover sports nutrition.
Furthermore, I believe that for each client, nutrition care should be directed by what is best for YOU, not by profit-driven insurance regulations. Insurance-based nutrition care also strictly limits the time a nutritionist can spend with a client, leading to rushed and dissatisfying sessions. It also restricts the types of recommendations that can be made and, thus, the quality of care.
While I do not work with insurance, I am happy to provide you with a superbill upon request that you can submit to your insurance company. You can also use HSA funds to pay for services and supplements.
Currently, my nutrition coaching business is exclusively telehealth-based, which means I see clients through HIPAA-compliant video conferencing software within a HIPAA-compliant client portal. My practice is currently entirely online (telehealth).
A CNS is a Certified Nutrition Specialist. A CNS is an advanced personalized nutrition practitioner who must have a Masters or doctoral degree (most have a Masters degree in Human Nutrition, like me), complete a 1,000-hour supervised experience internship that achieves a set of clearly defined practice competencies, and pass the CNS exam. CNSs are required to recertify every five years and complete 75 hours of continuing education credits.
The CNS credential demonstrates that certified individuals have the knowledge and proficiency required for advanced professional nutrition practice. The CNS certification program is administered by the Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists℠ (BCNS℠), an independent credentialing organization associated with the American Nutrition Association® (ANA). The ANA is the professional association for the science and practice of personalized nutrition. CNSs are qualified to provide Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) and advanced personalized nutrition care.
For more information about the CNS scope of practice, please see the following document.
While the credentials RD (Registered Dietitian) and CNS (Certified Nutrition Specialist) both signify nutrition expertise, there are some differences between the two. An RD doesn't need to have master's degree (though this has recently changed).
CNSs are not as well-recognized as RDs (yet), but we are a rapidly growing demographic of highly-qualified and educated professional nutrition providers occupying positions in private nutrition practice, hospitals, medical clinics, industry, and research!
In addition to being a CNS, I am a Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist (LDN) in Illinois and Maryland. The LDN license, combined with my CNS credential, allows me to work with clients in Illinois and Maryland.
I work with clients from the following states:
If you don't live in one of the listed states, I cannot work with you one-on-one at this time. However, I encourage you to sign up for my email list so you can be notified if and when I am able to expand my services to other states. In addition, you can still join the courses or purchase the eBooks that I sell on my website!
At Alpine Fuel Nutrition, I'm all about helping my clients get great results as quickly as possible. The Genova Metabolomix+ nutritional test provides an abundance of information about your unique nutritional status that allows me to deeply personalize your nutrition plan so you can get amazing results with your health and athletic performance! The information collected by the Metabolomix+ test cannot be ordered in standard blood work by your primary care provider - this is truly a specialty test, and also requires a nutritionist trained in functional medicine and nutrition to properly interpret it and provide evidence-based recommendations. For example, the test shows:
Including this test in your Trailblazer Nutrition™ vastly increases the value and efficacy of your nutrition program, and I consider it an essential part of our process of working together. You can read more about the Metabolomix+ test here: https://www.gdx.net/products/metabolomix
