Jennifer Hutchison, Saint-Petersburg, Florida »
As a Sports Dietitian and endurance coach, I create individualized nutrition and
training programs for athletes of all levels and abilities; locally, nationally and
internationally. Some of my current and previous endurance athletes include
recreational multi-sport athletes (sprint to Iron distance), elite/professional
triathletes including members of the USA Triathlon Resident and Under 23 teams
as well as a USAT Junior World Champion. I have also worked with single sport
athletes such as runners and cyclists including the 2003 Race Across America Team
FOI. In addition, I have consulted with strength and power athletes including the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers, professionals in Major League Baseball, world-class athletes
in track and field.
I apply practical application of current nutrition and exercise physiology research into my practice and maintain professional affiliations with the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the American College of Sports Medicine. I am a firm believer in the “practice what you preach” philosophy. I am also a competitive endurance athlete having completed multiple marathons, triathlons from sprint to Iron distance.
