About me

I am Ellen Landes, MS, RDN, owner of The Runner\’s Dietitian. I specialize in helping runners optimize their performance and overall well-being through a realistic approach to nutrition. A comprehensive understanding of both exercise science and dietary principles is essential to my practice.

I also serve as a nutrition instructor at a local university, where I educate and inspire future professionals in the healthcare field.

I am an avid runner and also enjoy practicing yoga and finding new and fun ways to get movement in. I also love to sit down with a good book, indulge in addictive reality TV, and soak up as much time as possible with my husband and kids.
