6-Week Gymnast Nutrition Course to Learn to Fuel Without the Stress or Overwhelm

In this step-by-step learning experience, you’ll be guided by pediatric & adolescent registered sports dietitian nutritionist, speaker, and founder of The Gymnast Nutritionist, Christina Anderson MS, RDN, CSSD, CSP, as she teaches you how to fuel the competitive gymnast in a way that is realistic, makes sense, and actually works.

During the six-week program, you’ll get insider access to The Balanced Gymnast Method Course, plus proven tools, guides, and recipes to optimize your gymnast’s performance in six weeks.

You don’t have to keep struggling with your gymnast’s nutrition.

You don’t have to keep guessing at whether or not you’re feeding her enough (or she’s eating enough).

Optimizing nutrition from a young age is KEY to preventing issues with food, injury, or body image later in a gymnast’s career. 

Hey gymnast parents! It’s Christina. Like your gymnast and many of you, I was a competitive gymnast for 9+ years and am now a sports dietitian nutritionist who works exclusively with gymnasts.

My career as a gymnast didn’t end well. I struggled with food and my body, and my parents felt helpless. We did “all the things” in terms of physical therapy and seeing all the right doctors for my ongoing injuries, but it was my underfueling that kept me stuck.

It wasn’t until I become a dietitian nutritionist that I realized that what I had been doing with my nutrition was the complete opposite of what I needed, yet how should I have known? (Especially when that’s what everyone else was doing).

Now I have a healthy relationship with food and my body, and help high level gymnasts everyday achieve the things I wasn’t able to in my career.

Since 2017, I’ve had a private practice and worked with 100s of competitive gymnasts (compulsory through Sr Elite/National Team) and their parents —teaching them to fuel for optimal performance without the stress or overwhelm.

In 2020 I pivoted to 100% virtual practice so I could serve gymnasts all across the US and internationally, and it’s been amazing.

In April of 2020, we launched The Balanced Gymnast Method™ which is an online course for parents of competitive gymnasts to make education on fueling the gymnast is accessible to all.

I believe that gymnasts need to not only learn to fuel their bodies for sport, but develop a healthy relationship with food and body (hence the donut…all foods can fit in the high level gymnast’s diet).

My program attracts gymnasts and parents who are ready to put in the time and effort to optimize nutrition and performance. They are not afraid to challenge beliefs they have about food and nutrition, and challenge cultural norms in the sport. Just because “this is how we’ve always done it” doesn’t make it right.

I’m SO excited to welcome you to The Balanced Gymnast Method and help you learn to optimize your gymnast’s nutrition for performance and life beyond sport in 6 weeks.

Optimized Nutrition. More Energy. Better Performance.

Why I created The Balanced Gymnast® Method Course

Over the past few years, I’ve have the priviledge of working with gymnasts from all over the world and connected with amazing gymnastics professionals in the sport.

In this time, I’ve also observed a huge gap in the knowledge around properly gymnastics nutrition — especially for high level gymnasts who have big goals and dreams that depend on health and longevity.

While there are a lot of great sports dietitian nutritionists out there, many just don’t “get” gymnastics. Or, they don’t understand the high rates of disordered eating and eating disorders and promote practices that worsen these issues which are not only career threatening, but life threatening. 

Not only do parents and gymnasts need support that is specifically tailored to the gymnast, but also support that addresses the other issues that gymnasts are not immune from…picky eating, growth issues, difficulties with sugar and “junk food”, etc. 

I believe the best nutrition education combines the power of a sustainable, realistic approach that’s rooted in science. 

That’s why I decided it was time to create a easy way for parents and gymnasts to get the nutrition education they’re looking for NOW. 

Sorting through the nutrition noise and changing gymnastics culture, one gymnast at a time.

This is why I created this…

A program tailored for those who are ready to learn how to figure out nutrition once and for all to achieve their highest potential in the sport.
