Hi, I’m Katie Nabors, a performing artist, educator, and Registered Dietitian. I founded Northcoast Nutrition in 2022 with the mission of providing nutrition consulting and education to high performance individuals.

I believe food can be used to fuel the body for optimal physical performance and to nourish the mind to maximize intellectual performance.

My goal is to teach and empower individuals to properly fuel and nourish themselves whether it be for cognitive and intellectual performance in the workplace or physical performance on the field, court, or stage. I provide nutrition counseling and group education with a food-first approach that’s balanced and works in harmony with each person’s unique lifestyle and needs.

I earned my Masters of Science degree in Nutrition and my Masters of Fine Arts degree in Contemporary Dance from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio and completed my clinical dietetics work at the University of North Carolina.

I am currently an adjunct professor at Case Western Reserve University within the School of Medicine in the Department of Nutrition and the College of Arts & Sciences in the Department of Dance.
