About Nutrition for Climbers

With all the nutrition misinformation and pseudoscience out there, it’s hard to know what’s what. Marisa Michael, the mastermind behind Nutrition for Climbers, has dedicated years to studying climbing nutrition. And by studying we don’t mean reading blogs and browsing Instagram. She has conducted and published original research on climbing nutrition.

Marisa’s expertise has been featured in Rock & Ice, Gym Climber Magazine, Climbing Magazine, TrainingBeta podcast, scientific publications, and the book Nutrition for Climbers: Fuel for the Send. Marisa also serves as a member of the USA Climbing Medical Committee.

That, combined with her status as a Registered Dietitian, Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics, Master’s Degree in Sports Nutrition, and International Olympic Committee’s Diploma in Sports Nutrition means there’s a lot of letters behind her name. That means you only get top-quality, reliable nutrition content. You’re welcome.
