CArissa Dempsey Nutrition
Fuel yourself like someone who trains for terrain — not aesthetics.
Fuel isn’t about eating “perfect.” It’s about having the energy to finish the climb, handle long workdays, recover so you can do it again tomorrow — and actually trust your body when you ask something of it.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
You’re not looking for another meal plan you won’t follow. You want a body that shows up when you need it — on trail days, on training days, on workdays.
You train, work, or move your body on purpose — even if you don’t call yourself an athlete
You’re tired of nutrition advice that’s based on shrinking instead of performing
Your energy still crashes when it counts
You want a fuelling plan that fits your terrain, your schedule, your reality — not somebody else’s macros
Fuel yourself like you’ve got sh*t to do.
Fuel is a performance tool — not a diet.
Fuelling isn’t about discipline — it’s about capacity. It’s about eating in a way that supports your training blocks, work demands, recovery cycles, weekend efforts, and long days outside — not in a way that impresses diet culture.
Most people don’t have a motivation problem — they have an energy availability problem.
Terrain isn’t just trails — it can be water, weather, elevation, long workdays, paddles, climbs, or whatever environment asks something from your body. Fueling is about meeting that demand.
Dial in your baseline fuel so your body stops fighting you.
Build performance meals and snacks for your actual terrain and time.
Create hydration + recovery systems that respect your effort.
Adjust with your training blocks, seasons, and real-life rhythms — because fuelling is dynamic, not static.
What working together looks like:
Fuel yourself like recovery is part of the work — because it is.
Who I am — and why I work this way
I’m Carissa Dempsey, Registered Dietitian — swimmer in my past life, now someone who chooses movement and terrain because it makes life better. I also come from a background in social work and behaviour change coaching, which means I don’t just look at what you eat — I understand how life, energy, and habits actually work.
I’m completing the IOC Diploma in Sports Nutrition, and I bring that level of sports science into real-life fueling for recreational movement, outdoor effort, and active jobs — not just elite athletics.
Fueling isn’t something you perfect once. It’s something you test in your own body, adjust, and refine. Guidelines are just the starting point — your body gives the real feedback in training, at work, and in recovery.
Nutrition coaching with me isn’t about clean eating or sticking to a plan. It’s about building fuel strategies through trial, feedback, and real conditions, so your energy and recovery finally match the way you’re trying to live.
You don’t need to be an “athlete” to fuel like your effort matters — you just need a body that moves and a life that demands energy. That’s who I work with.
Ready to fuel like someone who trains for terrain?
Fuel so your body can back you up — not just look like it might.
You push through weather, work, and whatever the day throws at you — your fuel should do the same.
