Founder, Sports Dietitian, Certified Life Coach
Hi, I’m Shanon Safi — a Registered Dietitian, certified life coach, and former competitive athlete.
​
I know what it feels like to give everything to your sport. The early mornings, the long practices, the thrill of pushing your body past its limits, and the pride of achieving what you once thought was impossible. But I also know the other side — the confusion around food, the pressure to look a certain way, and the exhaustion of not knowing how to fuel your body without restriction or burnout.​
That’s why I do this work.
​
As a dietitian, I’ve made it my mission to help athletes learn how to fuel with confidence, perform at their best, and feel strong in their bodies — both on and off the field, track, or gym floor. My approach isn’t about rigid rules or one-size-fits-all diets. It’s about teaching you how to eat for power, recovery, and long-term health while honoring the unique challenges we face in sport.
​
I earned my degree in Clinical Dietetics & Nutrition from the University of Pittsburgh, where I began my journey in pre-medicine studies before realizing my true passion was working more intimately with people through food and performance. My path has taken me across 10 countries, studying medicine and psychology abroad, competing nationally as a CrossFit athlete, and later becoming a yoga teacher and certified life coach. Every step has deepened my understanding of what it takes to thrive as an athlete — body, mind, and soul.
​
Now, through Fuel the Fire, I work with athletes like you to:
-
Build strength and muscle with the right fueling strategy
-
Recover faster and prevent injury
-
Perform at your peak while still enjoying food and life
-
Create lasting confidence in your body — beyond just sport​
For me, this isn’t just nutrition. It’s about giving athletes the tools and freedom I wish I had years ago — so you can step fully into your power, perform with confidence, and feel unstoppable in everything you do.
