Founder, Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics, Functional and Integrative Medicine Practitioner
Hi, I’m Shanon Safi — a Registered Dietitian, holistic practitioner, and former competitive athlete.
​
I have a background in medicine and years of experience studying the deeper connections between health, confidence, and psychology. I began my career on the traditional medical path and majored in Clinical Dietetics & Nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh then studying medicine and psychology abroad. But while working inside the healthcare system, I saw something she couldn’t ignore:​
People were being treated for symptoms—not understood as whole humans.
​
I realized I didn’t want to diagnose people and send them on their way.
I wanted to walk with them, support them, and help them understand their bodies in a deep, empowering way.
​
So, I opened a private practice—one built on compassion, connection, and the belief that true health includes the mind, body, and soul.
​
As a former competitive athlete, I know what it feels like to push for perfection, disconnect from your body, and lose confidence when you no longer look or perform the way you used to. My own healing journey—letting go of extremes, honoring my feminine energy, and redefining what strength really means—inspired me to help others do the same.
​
At Fuel the Fire, we blend science, soul work, and personalized nutrition to help individuals feel confident, energized, and at home in their bodies again. Our approach goes far beyond meal plans. We combine root-cause labs, body composition assessments, mindset tools, and emotional integration to create lasting transformation from the inside out.
​
The mission is simple but powerful:
​
To help people feel good in their bodies—strong, confident, and deeply connected to who they are.
Because when you understand your body, you trust it.
And when you trust your body, you transform your life.​
