What clients are saying about Brianna

Her advice gave me confidence going into the event, and the results spoke for themselves. I felt energized, avoided any fueling issues, and had a very successful sprint triathlon . Her personalized approach made a huge difference.

Sandy

Brianna Gorman is excellent at explaining nutrition and food choices to youth in a way they can understand and apply. [She] was also very helpful for me as a parent prepping lunches, snacks and on-the-go foods for busy teen athletes. I highly recommend RD Brianna Gorman and the Elite Dietician team.

Michelle Brander
6 Weeks to Build Muscle Program

Brianna set us up with a plan for my son as to how many calories he needs and how to achieve it. He’s a picky eater but he got tremendous buy-in from her. Her way is knowledgeable, kind and yet firm which I needed my son to hear. I can’t recommend Brianna highly enough

Jill Cordes

Brianna helped me increase my carb intake and being more mindful around my hydration, which improved my overall energy and well-being and supported a steady increase in my running volume.
