Background
Hi, I’m Ross Shumway, a Board-Certified Registered Dietitian with over 7 years of experience in elite sports nutrition and performance fueling. I’ve worked with two NFL teams, two Division 1 football programs, and most recently served as the Director of Football Nutrition at UCLA. I currently work with U.S. Air Force fighter pilots and run my private practice, Performance Nutrition Solutions, helping athletes, first responders, and high performers level up their nutrition to match their goals.
If you’re looking to build lean muscle, drop body fat, increase energy, or get more out of your training, I bring a no-fluff, performance-first approach that’s built around your lifestyle. I don’t do fad diets or generic plans, I’ll coach you through a strategy that’s customized, evidence-based, and designed for real results.
I work best with people who want to put in the work, whether you're chasing a college roster spot, trying to get back in shape after a demanding shift schedule, or training for your next competition. I understand the demands of performance, and I’ll help you fuel smarter, train harder, and recover better.
I started this practice because I believe high-level nutrition shouldn't just be for pro athletes, anyone who trains hard and wants more out of their performance deserves access to expert guidance.
Let’s get to work.
