In this episode of Feed Me the Facts, Danielle sits down with Daniela Hurtado, MS, RD, CSSD, and Rayanne Nguyen, MS, RD, CSSD, LDN—two sports dietitians and leaders redefining what athlete care can look like. 🍽️💪🏽

From long days in collegiate athletics to launching a nonprofit tackling food insecurity, Daniela and Rayanne pull back the curtain on what it really means to fuel athletes—beyond the highlight reels and performance metrics. They share powerful stories from the field, the hidden barriers many athletes face, and how they’re reimagining care through The Athlete Meal Plan. 📚👩🏽‍🍳⚡️

This conversation challenges the assumption that access is guaranteed in sports and highlights how dietitians can step into roles as advocates, innovators, and change makers—building solutions that extend far beyond traditional practice.🔋🏀🏈⚽️🏉🎾👟🏊🏽‍♀️⚾️🏐🏒🏅
