Sheila Leard RD, CSSD, CPT
A Passionate Sports Dietitian and Functional Medicine Nutritionist
About Me
Experienced. Certified. Supportive.
Registered Dietitian, Board Certified in Sports Dietetics with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Certified Personal Trainer. She has a Bachelor of Science in Foods and Nutrition and attended Indiana University Medical Center, Indianapolis, to complete a Dietetic internship and Master of Science course work in clinical nutrition
She became interested in the field of sports nutrition and cardiovascular health when working in the Cardiac Rehabilitation - Applied Exercise Physiology Department at San Diego State University, California. Since then, Sheila began applying the principles of functional nutrition for the treatment and prevention of chronic disease.
“My goal with all of my clients is to take the science of nutrition and make sense of it on a practical level. I treat the person not the disease. I believe it is truly possible to have the health you want through diet and lifestyle”. Once you learn how to manage your symptoms through diet you will never think of being "on" a diet again. Diets have an ending - healthy behavior does not.
Sheila's other passions are her family and competing in triathlons. In 2002, after 20 years of distance running, she became a competitive age group triathlete. Since then she has competed in over 40 multiple distance triathlons, including earning the privilege of racing at the World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.
