Nina is an Accredited Nutritionist and Sports Nutritionist, and CrossFit coach and athlete, specialising in sports and performance nutrition, disordered eating and plant based diets. 

She developed a big passion for all things nutrition (including how it affects ALL aspects of our lives) after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and struggling with an eating disorder throughout high school, and navigating the long journey of recovery and having to totally redefine what it means to be ‘healthy’. She has been working in private practice for over 5 years, seeing clients one-on-one worldwide both online and face-to-face.

In this episode, Nina shares the story of her recovery and how she came to land in the thriving life she has today. She reflects on her experience in treatment and the ways that it was, or was not, helpful for her – and how she views that in the grand scheme of her recovery journey. We also discuss how veganism and CrossFit were integral in that process, and continue to be healthy and purposeful parts of her relationship with food today. Plus, lots of other things related to food, recovery, & fueling oneself for optimal performance – not just in sport, but life in general.

I loved this conversation and it’s been a looong time coming so I’m extra excited to be finally sharing the marvelous Nina Gelbke with all of you! Xo
