My name is Kelsey Beckmann, and I'm a registered dietitian and local runner from Jacksonville, FL. I grew up playing competitive soccer before becoming a distance runner, and in doing both, I have felt the ebbs and flows of nutrition on performance. My interest in dietetics was sparked by my experiences with the impact of nutrition on the human body in motion.

Health to me is finding your own state of mindfulness and balance in what you do. Nutrition can be accomplished in several different ways, and there is an abundance of nutrition and dietetics research that shows how it impacts sports performance. In my blog "Fast and Fueled" I'll be sharing this information with you and helping you make practical, healthy decisions for your body. These decisions will help you fuel your favorite day-to-day activities to live an active lifestyle.
