"Hi! I'm Danielle Phillipps, a Registered Dietitian dedicated to helping individuals achieve their nutrition and performance goals. My passion for the power of food and its impact on the human body led me to pursue both a bachelor's and a master's degree in Nutrition from the University of Alabama. During my undergraduate studies, I had the incredible opportunity to work for three years with the University of Alabama Performance Nutrition Team. This immersive experience allowed me to collaborate with a team of experienced dietitians, providing specialized fueling strategies for collegiate football players, optimizing their performance through tailored nutrition plans. Furthermore, I extended my expertise to support Olympic Sport athletes across various disciplines, gaining invaluable insights into the unique nutritional demands of elite competitors.

​

Following my time in Alabama, I returned to my home state of California and continued my journey in sports nutrition, working with the University of Southern California football team. This role further honed my skills in developing and implementing effective nutrition interventions for high-performing athletes in a demanding environment. Concurrently, I broadened my clinical experience by working at an eating disorder and rehabilitation facility. This experience provided me with a profound understanding of the complexities of disordered eating and the importance of fostering a healthy relationship with food, knowledge that I now integrate into my work with a diverse range of clients.

​

My professional trajectory then led me to Michigan State University, where I served as a Sports Dietitian for Olympic Sports. In this role, I had the privilege of working with a wide array of talented athletes and teams, including Volleyball, Baseball, Soccer, Track and Field, Cross Country, and Rowing. This diverse experience allowed me to develop a comprehensive understanding of the specific nutritional needs and challenges faced by athletes in various sports, enabling me to create personalized and effective fueling strategies to optimize their training and competition performance.

​

While my background includes extensive work with athletes at the highest levels, my passion extends to working with active individuals of all ages and those who are just beginning their journey towards a more active lifestyle. I firmly believe that everyone can benefit from the power of nutrition to enhance their overall well-being and achieve their health goals. I am dedicated to educating athletes on the science behind fueling for peak performance, providing them with the knowledge and tools to optimize their energy levels, recovery, mental health and overall athletic potential.

Additionally, I guide clients in navigating the often-complex world of body composition and performance goals, empowering them to achieve their desired outcomes while still embracing the joy and satisfaction that comes from eating the foods they love. My ultimate goal is to empower individuals to nourish their bodies in a way that supports their health, performance, and overall well-being, fostering a lifelong appreciation for the vital role of nutrition in a fulfilling life.

Today, I provide individual therapy, couples counseling, and family therapy for children, adolescents, college students, adults, and older adults. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported while also being challenged to grow.​"
