“I played football at the University of California, Berkeley and had Elizabeth as my Sport Dietitian for 4 of my years. She was a vital part of my football career because during my development, I always struggled with putting weight on. Elizabeth had me in her weight gain class during the off season and that was a huge turning point for me. I was able to learn how to gain weight the correct way and saw that I had been doing it wrong. She worked extremely hard keeping so many of us accountable with what we put into our bodies. Instead of just telling us what not to eat, she worked hard to personally provide each of us healthy replacements of our favorite meals and snacks. With all of her help, I was able to finally gain the healthy weight I needed and that helped build my body to now be ready to play at the next level. ”- Camryn B.

“Elizabeth McNear has been extremely instrumental in helping my daughter, Delaney, achieve her nutrition goals while playing high level soccer. She taught Delaney to listen to her body and be aware of her dietary needs on a daily basis based on her training schedule. She also focused on a well rounded approach too eating. I’m confident the knowledge Delaney gained from her sessions will continue to benefit her throughout her soccer career and beyond. I highly recommend Elizabeth as a sports dietician."
