About me

Hi, I'm Jennifer Patricca, sports dietitian and fellow runner. Several years  ago, I had a serious problem going on with my running. 

Without going into the full drama, I was training hard for races, but I wasn’t seeing the results that I wanted. I was frustrated and running wasn’t fun anymore. I tried lots of things. I tried running more miles. Added more speed work and cycling 3 times a week. I was always conscious of my weight and I was restricting food even though I was training hard 6 days a week.

I thought if I just lose a few pounds, I will get faster.  But nothing worked. 

And then BAM, it happened.

During this difficult time, I was introduced to sports nutrition to fuel my workouts and races to improve my performance. I stopped obsessing over food and calories and started viewing food as a way to fuel my body. I thought to myself, "ya right, can this really work?” I eat pretty healthy. Isn’t that enough? 

Well, I’ll tell you right now…. I’m so thankful I opened up my eyes and committed myself to this solution because today I can fuel confidently for training and races. More importantly I have a better relationship with food and my body image.

I ate more and surprisingly, I didn’t gain weight. For the first time in my life, I was actually hitting my PRs without hitting the wall during workouts and races.

Now I am excited to share my knowledge and experiences with you to help you improve your pacing and hit your PR and enjoy running again without GI issues, fatigue and injuries. I am a registered and licensed dietitian nutritionist with over 20 years experience and I am a marathon and Ironman finisher.  

Whether you're chasing a new PR, training for your first race, or looking to optimize your performance, I'm here to help you develop a personalized nutrition strategy that works for your body, your sport, and your life.

I believe that good nutrition shouldn't feel restrictive or complicated. Instead, it should empower you to train harder, recover faster, and perform at your best. My approach combines evidence-based sports nutrition with practical, sustainable strategies that fit into your real life—because the best nutrition plan is the one you can actually stick to.

Together, we'll cut through the noise and create a fueling plan that supports your goals, whether that's crossing your first finish line, qualifying for Boston, or simply feeling strong and energized in your training.

Let's work together to unlock your potential—one meal, one run, one goal at a time.
