Becca has a Master of Science degree in Sports Nutrition from the University of Utah and is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. She is currently an Assistant Professor in the Nutrition & Integrative Physiology Department at the University of Utah and also works virtually with athletes through The Nutrition Mechanic.
