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.

🎃 What’s for dinner before trick-or-treating?⁠
⁠
Our vote: sweet potato chili + cornbread. 🌽⁠
⁠
Halloween night can be busy enough without trying to figure out dinner, too. This is one of those cozy, filling meals you can make ahead of time so everyone can eat before heading out for the night.⁠
⁠
Plus, it’s a Halloween tradition in my family! ❤️⁠
⁠
The sweet potato chili is packed with turkey, beans, veggies, and sweet potatoes, and you can make it in the crockpot or on the stovetop. Add some cornbread muffins and you’ve got an easy, hearty dinner the whole family can enjoy.⁠
⁠
👉 Save this for October 31 and grab the recipe at the link below!

Eating for the season you’re in. 🤍

The female body is constantly changing, growing, and evolving throughout our cycles and across our lifetime. Every season brings its own changes, and every season deserves support.

Whether you’re supporting a young athlete, navigating pregnancy or postpartum, training for something you’ve never done before, trying to feed yourself well while helping your littles build a healthy relationship with food, figuring out what your body needs in perimenopause, or simply wanting to age strong, your nutrition can support you in the season you’re in.⁠

That’s what we love to do as dietitians: help you understand your body, fuel it well, and feel confident caring for it through every season.

Enter into the season you’re in.
Learn to fuel it well. 🤍

I’m in one of those seasons of life where there just aren’t enough hours in the day.⁠
⁠
Between work, family, taking care of a toddler, being at the end of my pregnancy, prepping for a new baby and everything else that seems to pile up, I’ve had to let go of the idea that I’m going to do all the things I normally do to take care of myself.⁠
⁠
And honestly? That’s okay.⁠
⁠
Lately, I’ve been focusing on my baseline: the few habits that help me feel my best and that I can realistically maintain, even when life is really full.⁠
⁠
For me, that might mean fitting a short workout in when I can, remembering to eat regular meals, keeping some simple foods on hand for snacking, and trying to prioritize sleep (when possible...)⁠
⁠
It’s not perfect or my “ideal” routine, but it keeps me grounded.⁠
⁠
Sometimes consistency looks different depending on the season you’re in. Sometimes the goal is progress, sometimes it’s maintaining, and sometimes it’s simply doing what you can. 💚⁠
⁠
I wrote more about finding that balance and what it can look like in real life on the blog. Link below!

It’s officially fall 🍂 and October is one of my favorite months of the year!⁠
⁠
Cooler days, cozy meals, and all the seasonal foods are here. 🎃⁠
⁠
One of our favorites this time of year is Pumpkin Sage Sausage Pasta. It’s cozy, filling, and perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.⁠
⁠
Made with pumpkin, chicken sausage, spinach, whole wheat pasta, and warm fall spices, it’s a great way to bring some seasonal flavor to your dinner table.⁠
⁠
If you’re looking for a new recipe to add to your fall rotation, give it a try!⁠

We love working with women through perimenopause and menopause 🤍

One thing we hear a lot:

“Why does my body feel so different all of a sudden?”

Maybe your hunger has changed. Your body composition is shifting. You’re having a harder time maintaining muscle, your energy feels different, or the things that used to work for you just aren’t working anymore.

That doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.

As dietitians, we help women adjust their nutrition to support their bodies through this stage of life, without restrictive diets or starting over every Monday.

We may focus on things like:
🥩 Protein and muscle support
🥦 Fiber and digestive health
🍽️ Balanced meals for energy and fullness
💪 Nutrition alongside strength training
😴 Nutrition habits that support sleep and recovery

Perimenopause and menopause are a normal part of life, but you don’t have to figure out all the changes on your own.

If you’re in this stage and wondering if nutrition support could help, we’d love to work with you. 🤍

Meet Kari, our newest dietitian! 🌿⁠
⁠
Nutrition and movement have been a part of Kari’s life for years. Growing up playing sports and hiking in her rural backyard, she became curious about how food and exercise could influence health, energy, and athletic performance. Watching her family navigate their own health challenges further sparked her interest in helping others make meaningful, sustainable changes.⁠
⁠
Kari went on to earn both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Nutrition, Dietetics, and Exercise Physiology from Washington State University. Her experience includes working at Sacred Heart Medical Center and The Emily Program, where she specialized in supporting adults with eating disorders.⁠
⁠
Her work in the eating disorder field deeply shaped how she approaches nutrition. Kari is passionate about intuitive eating, Health at Every Size® principles, and helping people work toward their health and performance goals without relying on restrictive dieting.⁠
⁠
She also brings a lot of curiosity to her own health journey and recognizes that our needs change throughout different seasons of life. She loves helping clients tune into those changes and find an approach that works for them.⁠
⁠
We’re so excited to have Kari on the Fuel to Thrive team! 💚

Meet Ally, our newest personal trainer! 💪⁠
⁠
We’re excited to welcome Ally to the Fuel to Thrive team, joining Macauley as one of our personal trainers!⁠
⁠
For Ally, sports and movement have been part of life for as long as she can remember. Growing up as a competitive wrestler sparked an early interest in the connection between training, nutrition, performance, and recovery. That interest eventually led her to study Nutrition and Exercise Physiology at Washington State University.⁠
⁠
Today, Ally is completing her Master of Science through WSU’s Coordinated Program in Dietetics, Nutrition, and Exercise Physiology, while gaining experience across clinical, community, and foodservice settings. She also brings experience in personal training, group fitness, strength and conditioning with collegiate athletes, and healthcare.⁠
⁠
Her approach to fitness is rooted in strength, sustainability, and helping people feel confident in what their bodies can do. She believes you can work toward getting stronger, improving performance, or reaching a specific goal without fitness and nutrition having to take over your life.⁠
⁠
Outside of the gym, you’ll find Ally snowboarding, spending time outdoors, strength training, or finding something competitive to try.⁠
⁠
We’re so excited to have her on the team! Welcome, Ally! 🫶

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the world of supplements?⁠
⁠
Should I even be taking a supplement? Which supplements are actually worth taking? Where should I buy them? Is the brand I’m buying actually good quality? How do I know what’s right for me?⁠
⁠
We get it. There are thousands of supplements out there, and not all supplements—or supplement companies—are created equal.⁠
⁠
That’s why we’ve partnered with Fullscript to make high-quality supplements easier to access.⁠
⁠
Through our Fuel to Thrive Fullscript dispensary, we can recommend professional-quality supplements based on your individual needs, and when you shop through our page, you’ll receive 15% off your supplements. 🙌⁠
⁠
We also have a variety of supplement protocols and recommendations to help guide you, including:⁠
⁠
🏃‍♀️ Athlete Health & Performance⁠
🤰 Prenatal Health⁠
🧒 Pediatric Health⁠
🥣 Digestive Health⁠
🌿 General Health & Wellness⁠
⁠
Our goal isn’t to tell everyone they need a cabinet full of supplements. It’s to help you understand what you may actually benefit from, what quality looks like, and how to choose products you can feel good about taking.⁠
⁠
Because supplements should be personalized—not one-size-fits-all.⁠
⁠
Want to meet with one of our dietitians to create a personalized supplement protocol for you? Reach out to us—we’d love to help you figure out what makes sense for your individual needs.⁠

Back-to-school season can be tough on your training routine.⁠
⁠
Summer may have given you more flexibility to get your runs in, lift when you wanted, or simply have more space for your fitness goals.⁠
⁠
Then September hits.⁠
⁠
Earlier mornings. School drop-offs. Homework. Sports. Work. Activities. And suddenly the training schedule that worked so well all summer doesn't quite fit anymore.⁠
⁠
If you're in a training block or simply trying to stay consistent with your fitness, this transition can be frustrating.⁠
⁠
But you don't have to choose between your goals and your busy season of life.⁠
⁠
Instead, this is a time to adjust, not abandon.⁠
⁠
→ Look at your week and identify the workouts that matter most⁠
→ Be flexible with when you train⁠
→ Shorten a workout when needed rather than skipping it entirely⁠
→ Fuel your body well, even on the busiest days⁠
→ Give yourself permission to modify your training when life demands it⁠
→ Remember that consistency over months matters more than one imperfect week⁠
⁠
Your training doesn't have to look exactly the way it did in July to still move you forward.⁠
⁠
The goal isn't to maintain your summer schedule. It's to create a routine that works for your life now.⁠
⁠
Back to school is an adjustment. Give yourself some grace while you find your new rhythm. 💛
