MEET THE TEAM

Meet the Fueling Forward team! Both Maddie and Alexa are registered dietitians and former professional runners. We are passionate about working with runners to help them unlock their full potential through fueling, while supporting them as a whole person. We draw on our past experiences and clinical expertise to provide nutrition support to navigate health, performance, and relationship with food.

Fun fact, both Maddie and Alexa competed in the 1500 at the 2018 USATF Championships and were in the same qualifying heat. This picture is from our pre-race huddle around Gabe Grunewald, who was battling cancer. We are even next to each other!
