Sports Nutrition
From competitive athletes to weekend warriors, fueling your body is essential for sport performance.

Minimum requirements for specialist certification are established and approved by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). In order to be eligible to become a CSSD candidates must meet the following requirements:

· Recertification: Documentation of 1,500 hours of sports dietetics practice experience as an RD within the past five years
A CSSD uses evidence-based practice to provide each athlete with a personalized plan for success! They can help you create a plan that focuses on fueling your individual training schedule, meet your personalized health needs, address sport performance goals, optimize recovery as well as prevent injury.
The use of evidence-based practice is crucial when information in the media and social outlets can be filled with fads and misinformation.
