Biographical Information
Heather Nakamura is a registered dietitian with Master's degrees in both Nutrition and Exercise Physiology. She maintains a private practice in sports nutrition and preventive health, where she works with both youth and adults to develop lifestyle programs targeted towards their nutrition, fitness and health goals. She provides worksite wellness programs for local companies and helps restaurants to develop healthier menu options. Owner of Winning Nutrition in Bellevue, Heather is a sought after public speaker who has been a regular guest on KPLZ radio and KIRO's morning show, 7-LIVE. She is a columnist for Northwest Runner magazine and frequent contributor to national health and fitness publications.
Heather also has a special interest in teaching and coaching young athletes, helping them to eat healthier, train more effectively, and improve their sports performance. Young athletes have unique challenges when it comes to achieving their health and fitness goals. Busy sports schedules leave little time for healthy meal; unhealthy food options are constantly available, and opportunities for nutrition education are limited.
Heather’s goal as our sports nutritionist is to help young athletes and their parents understand the important role that good nutrition plays in sports performance. She will be contributing quarterly articles on topics such as healthy pre-event meals, quick dinners for busy athletes, and fueling up for game day. Heather will also be available as a resource for coaches, teams and parents, to provide sports nutrition workshops or lifestyle coaching for individual athletes.
