Fuel the Long Game
Nutrition can be complicated enough without turning every meal into a decision you have to get right.
I’m Em Palmerton, a sports dietitian and eating behavior specialist. I believe that flexible, positive nutrition is part of what makes performance sustainable.
Brick by Brick Sports Nutrition works with athletes and active people to make nutrition feel less complicated. Together, we build fueling skills and systems that create high-performing, durable humans who are in it for the long game.
What Brick by Brick Sports Nutrition Can Help With:
Injury Recovery and Return-to-Sport
If you’re experiencing recurring or slow to heal injuries, nutrition could be playing a part. Bone stress injuries, fractures, and preparing for surgery, rehab, and return-to-sport all benefit from having solid and flexible nutrition strategies in place.
RED-S and Low Energy Availability
If you’ve recently lost your menstrual cycle or have been diagnosed with RED-S or suspect you are overtraining, ensuring your nutrition and fueling habits match your training demands is key to recovery.
Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating
If you’re an athlete with a current or history of an eating disorder, I can help! I am an experienced eating disorders provider and work with both restrictive and loss-of-control behaviors including: ARFID or picky eating, binge eating, overeating, and OSFED as well as chronic dieting. I work from a weight-inclusive lens.
Fueling and Performance
Want to tap into the benefits of nutrition for performance but feeling overwhelmed or not able to stick to new habits? I work with you to create fueling systems and strategies that are practical, repeatable, and performance-enhancing.
Meal Planning
Many athletes benefit from having a better understanding of how much fuel they need, how to compose balanced meals, and the structure of meals. We figure out exactly how much structure and guidance is helpful without becoming restrictive, and put the plan into action.
Compulsive and Over Exercise
If you’re finding it hard to take a rest day, like you need to earn your food with movement, or that a workout doesn’t count unless you’re depleted at the end, we should talk. As a dietitian with a background in exercise science, I can help you restore a peaceful and values-aligned relationship with movement.
