Kayla's bio:
My name is Kayla and I'm a Registered Dietitian, Ultrarunner and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor based in Charleston, South Carolina. I used to think that eating less and seeing the number on the scale go down meant that I was healthy and fit but the truth was I never really felt strong or fast and I was just chasing that number on the scale. After several years of school and a year long Dietetic Internship at the Medical University of South Carolina, I learned the science behind why that doesn't work. But just because I knew the science, that didn't mean my mindset had changed. This led me to take a deep dive into Intuitive Eating and eventually becoming a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. Now, using both nutrition science and principles of behavior change I am fueling my body properly and I'm faster and stronger than I've ever been and I can help you have the same freedom and feel your best. This is what lead to the founding of Endurance Nutrition-- I want to help active people like you feel confident in the way you fuel your body on race day and every day.
