I learned a lot of information in the small amount of time working with Christina that will benefit me forever. I was taught about certain foods that can fuel me for workouts or make me feel sluggish and also was taught about the recovery side. I learned how to gain weight a proper way for me and eating healthier snack options. There was structure that help me reach my goals and made things easier for me. Also, I felt comfortable to ask questions and ask for help. I felt it was a perfect fit for me and worked well.

I was able to construct a diet plan, with the help of Christina, that helped me feel better on the mat. This is something that hasn't happened in my 4 years of college wrestling and nutrition at my university. Christina helped me much more than the resources I had provided to me. I enjoyed the communication aspect and how tough Christina was. It made me focused and more grounded because I was confident in what I was putting in my body. This helped me in practices and competition. I am very satisfied with my nutrition now. I feel as if I have a better grasp on what to eat for everyday life. Christina opened up my eyes to the ever changing world of dieting. She offered insights that have made me a more confident athlete. I haven't broken much from the types of food Christina was telling me. Even months after being done with competition, I still have the physique of a D1 wrestler. Thanks for all the help!

I had two of my athletes use Christina’s services this year and it was a game changer. Christina handles all the heavy lifting and made it easy for me to focus on coaching. I was super impressed that it was not just a blanket statement and nutritional guidelines that she had my athletes follow. She built a plan off based of our competitive schedule and helped plan how the athlete was going to attack that week leading up to our competition. Having someone to call to answer any and all nutrition questions helped us navigate the unknowns of the season. I loved the immediate feedback that each athlete got as they attempted to learn to build a balanced plate that was appropriate for different points of the season. I may have only had 2 athletes using her but the rest of the team’s ability to build “good plates” drastically improved as well. I would recommend Christina to any coach or athlete looking for a way to get improve their teams’ or athletes performance.

Christina is incredible - she not only came up with a plan that would work with my lifestyle and help my performance, but she always explained the "why" of nutrition to me. I feel like I learned a lot working with her, instead of just being told what to do. Also I had the easiest weight cut I've ever had in my professional career, and felt really strong on the night of my fight.

Christina has changed my nutrition forever! I feel so much more energetic during competition, and excited to compete knowing I have energy to support myself. I enjoyed the support and 1 on 1 video calls. It made it feel as if she really cared about my personal health.

As someone who is EXTREMELY picky about referrals for athletes, Christina doesn't just meet every expectation but she blows them out of the water. She is detail oriented and makes diet and weight management a fool proof system for weight class athletes. I couldn't recommend her enough and I look forward to bringing Christina onto as many of my athletes' performance teams as possible!” - Dr. Austin Schoen, Sports Chiropractor & Co-Owner of Building a Fighter

I am grateful for our time together, her guidance and never ending knowledge on what training like an athlete truly means. [Christina is] professional, yet feels like a friend who I can turn to in any situation. She helped me learn to trust myself and keep myself accountable for adequate and proper nutrition for my athletic performance goals. She taught me how to increase calories without tracking in MyFitnessPal and without feeling constantly full. Working with Christina has 100% made me a better athlete.

When my student organization was planning a symposium discussing innovations in health, we knew we wanted Christina as a panelist. Her expertise equipped students with tools to maximize their physical, academic, and professional performance. I would recommend having Christina speak to any audience wanting straightforward practical solutions to their nutritional needs.”

This nutritional journey with Christina has been such a fantastic experience from the very first session. Moving away from insufficient eating habits, Christina has helped me establish the fundamental roots of eating right for maximum sports performance. Gone are the days of crash dieting and crazy weight cutting, and I am never looking back. Christina has also been a monumental help during my pregnancy, giving me crucial advice through it all and preparing me for what I expect to be a great post partum journey back onto the BJJ mats.

Christina is an excellent coach and public speaker! I've had the privilege of working with Christina, both when she was a student at Boston University, and now in her work as a performance dietician. One of the things I most appreciate about her is her strong desire to continue to improve as a professional. I have observed her conducting one on one coaching sessions with athletes as well as presenting to sports teams and in corporate settings.
In all settings, Christina is an engaging, dynamic communicator. Her sessions are filled with practical tips her clients can put into practice immediately and see tangible results. Whether you are looking to improve as an individual or want to offer a wellness talk to your corporate team, Christina is a fantastic resource.

In my time working with Christina, I was able to accomplish one of my top goals - how to feel confident making food choices without obsessively tracking, and adjusting my meals based on energy level output (eg hard workout days vs easy or rest days) - this has ultimately helped increase my confidence. I can’t thank you enough for your tailored approach especially as external stress like work and big life changes made it hard to feel like it is a linear path. Thank you so much!!

As a Sports Performance Coach for the Seattle Storm in the WNBA, I have had the pleasure of working with Christina Chu who has completely transformed the way I view nutrition for athletes. Christina's extensive knowledge of nutrition science and her ability to translate that information into practical and effective nutrition plans for not only her athletes, but some of my own personally trained athletes has been nothing short of remarkable.
Christina is an invaluable asset to any team, providing cutting edge nutrition information that can help maximize their performance regardless of the sport. Her ability to create personalized nutrition plans for any athlete has been proven to optimize training, recovery, and overall health, leading to improved performance and fewer injuries.
What sets Christina apart is her passion for helping athletes reach their full potential through nutrition. She takes the time to understand each athlete's unique needs and goals, and then applies the latest scientific research to create tailored nutrition plans that are both effective and sustainable.
Overall, my experience working with Christina has been exceptional. Her knowledge, expertise, and passion for nutrition will make a significant impact on any team's performance, and I would highly recommend her to any athlete or team looking to take their performance to the next level.
