Amanda Nunan, RD

Hi, I'm Amanda! I have been a dietitian for three years since graduating from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville where I completed my bachelor's, master's, dietetic internship, and competed for the Vols as a Division I distance swimmer. Sophomore year, I signed up for a nutrition class to better understand my body's needs and hopefully gain an edge in the pool. As I progressed in my studies, I fell in love with the the field of dietetics, and discovered my passion for caring for the complex needs of pediatric patients. After graduating, my very first job was at a children's hospital as an RD!

​

As an inpatient pediatric dietitian, I've spent most of my time in the NICU and PICU, caring for patients with inborn errors of metabolism, and most recently, general pediatrics with patients with eating disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, picky eating, poor weight gain, diabetes, obesity, and more. While I love working with these populations, I feel compelled to help athletes like my former self, who may not understand how to properly fuel for performance and optimize their health. My number one goal is to teach athletes to take pride in fueling their bodies properly so they can enjoy a healthy, happy, and successful career.

​

I'm looking forward to working with you, whether you are an athlete trying to boost performance, improve your relationship with food, manage gastrointestinal symptoms related to chronic disease, or better your overall health-- let's develop sustainable habits together.
