What others are saying about Lilah....

Sports Dietitian

“Lilah’s knowledge and experience in performance related nutrition is outstanding. She does a terrific job presenting the material in relevant terms for children of all ages.”

Bill Roberts

Head Coach, Navy Men’s Swimming
Sports Dietitian

“Last summer I attended the swim camp at the Naval Academy and Lilah talked to us about nutrition. She taught us about how different foods affect our performance and which foods benefit our bodies at specific times during training. She created fun, interactive lessons that really demonstrated the value of nutrition. I learned a lot about looking at food through a positive lens and how food is an important piece of an athlete’s life. She taught us that food is fuel and knowing how to fuel your body is key to getting the most out of training.”
