Get out of your comfort zone!  Kyla has an incredible story on how she got to where she is today. Kyla talks about her unique resident experience at Memorial Herman, the behind the scenes of wining the MLS cup, the best time of day to reach out to a sports dietitian, and so much more!  Kyla is currently in her fourth season as the dietitian for the Columbus Crew (MLS). She is a 2023 MLS Cup Champion and 2021 Campeones Cup Champion. Prior to her move to Columbus, Kyla was selected for the 2019-2021 Gatorade Sports Nutrition Immersion Program (SNIP) where she completed her fellowship at Memorial Hermann IRONMAN Sports Medicine Institute in Houston, TX. Her work experience includes working as a Fitness Specialist in a variety of settings, and as a nutrition assistant for the University of Michigan Performance Nutrition program where she trained to become a sports dietitian over the course of three years. Kyla also has experience working with EXOS in Detroit, MI at the headquarters of DTE Energy. In addition, her education has spanned both kinesiology and nutrition.  Kyla earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Illinois State University where she competed as a division one soccer player for four years and completed two masters’ degrees from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor: one in Kinesiology (MS) and one in Nutritional Sciences (MPH).  Born and raised in Michigan, she is a true Midwest girl at heart! In her free time, she loves going to visit her parents’ lake house in Waterford, MI, being outside, playing soccer, trying new places to eat, and exploring new places with her “club” friends. Kyla currently resides in downtown Columbus, OH with her cat, Ziggy.  ✅ Check out the website www.sportsrdsnippets.com to learn more on how I can help you!  This episode is sponsored by 2before Performance Nutrition and Cheribundi  This podcast is sponsored by 2Before Performance Nutrition! Use code RDSNIPPETS30 at checkout for 30% off product online at www.2before.com  Use code RDSNIPPETS20 for 20% off all orders at http://cheribundi.com/.  Sports dietitians and their teams can order at additional reduced team pricing and free shipping online at http://proshop.cheribundi.com/ or by contacting Dan Sagers at mailto:[email protected]
