The LEGO Dietitian

BRIAN REAGAN | PTR, PhD, RD, LD (Brian@SportDietetics.com)

I am a Registered Dietitian who specializes in Sports Nutrition, Eating Disorders, and Pediatric Nutrition. HOWEVER, I AM AVAILABLE/ABLE TO HELP ANY INDIVIDUA FOR ANY NUTRITION CONCERN (e.g. Weight Management, Nutrient Deficiencies). CONTACT ME FOR A FREE 10 MINUTE SESSION TO LEARN MORE OF HOW I CAN HELP YOU…VIRTUAL SESSIONS AVAILABLE THAT WORK WITH YOUR SCHEDULE.

I have extensive experience and success in counseling athletes of various abilities and needs ranging from professional athletes (NFL combine, pro tennis) to grassroots (e.g. National Junior Tennis League, Elementary School Workshops). AN ATHLETE IS DEFINED AS ANYONE WHO TRIES TO ENGAGE IN AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE (NOT just those who compete in sports.)

My education (PhD dissertation researched misinformaiton’s link to eating disorders), 20+ years as a College Professor (e.g. Sports Nutrition and Exercise Science) and a variety of *related experiences have provided the science based and “real-life” information that can (and WILL) help you achieve your goals.

COMMON TOPICS ADDRESSED

(Contact me to learn more about these falsehoods AND how to achieve your goals:)

  1. “Carbohydrates / Sugars are bad…”

    FALSE: For optimal health and performance (and standard physiology), Carbs should be the majority of daily intake. Individualized , Daily needs vary from 55% to as high as 80% for elite athletes.

  2. Eating protein will make me stronger and lead to muscle gain.

    FALSE: The appropriate intensity (of physical activity) needed to elicit physiological adaptations (e.g. increased muscle mass) leads to changes.

    (e.g. Physiological work not food….)

    -In fact, daily protein should be the lowest for optimal body function. (e.g. 15-20% of total Calories for most people…).

  3. If I am deficient in a nutrient, I can just take a supplement.

    FALSE: “The Human Body is one Big Chemistry Set.” The absorption of a nutrient (aka “Bioavailability”) is highly complex and involves many factors.

    -Some nutrients (and other body compounds) prevent absorption of nutrients while others help.

  4. I can just contact my buddy, read a blog, and/or talk to a nutritionist if I need nutrition information.

    FALSE: These sources do not have the standardized training and education. (Literally, anyone can call his/herself a nutritionist without any education.)

    -In fact, in many states, there is government regulations of who can/cannot dole out nutrition information including what can be taught.
