Welcome! My name is Marisa Michael.
I love food. You probably do too! I love learning to balance good nutrition with enjoyment of food. I’ve been a registered dietitian nutritionist for 21 years, helping people achieve health through nutrition.
I help athletes optimize nutrition for sports performance, from recreational to elite. I have a passion for fitness and wellness. I’ve completed numerous triathlons, ranging from sprint to half-iron distance. All this experience and education means I can help YOU optimize nutrition for training, competing, and health.
I hold the International Olympic Committee’s Diploma in Sports Nutrition, which is a prestigious certification program. This means you will get only the best advice for your specific training needs. I also have a master’s in sports nutrition from the University of Stirling.
I am a registered dietitian serving the Portland area. I’m also licensed in several states.
