Megan is a civilian Registered Dietitian and Personal Trainer on a mission to help first responders optimize performance, recover faster, and enjoy long, healthy retirements. My background in wellness and graphic design has allowed me to lead engaging health campaigns for first responders. First responders face unique challenges when it comes to health. These challenges have inspired me to create targeted, realistic solutions throughout the lifecycle of a first responder's career. Megan thrives on translating complicated health information into manageable lifestyle changes that fit into an unpredictable shift. Her interest in a first responder's lifestyle has contributed to her success with CPAT participants, recruits, incumbents, and leadership. Megan's health coaching participants have lost an average of 14 pounds, up to 8% body fat, and up to a 30-point reduction in cholesterol. She has created a recruit nutrition curriculum that has effectively eliminated rhabdomyolysis and hydration-related injury in the past five recruit classes. Megan believes in a “boots on the ground” approach to wellness. She has trained for and passed CPAT, and am always up for a ride-along or a fitness challenge. Megan can often be found at a station or academy teaching nutrition, fitness, mobility, or just hanging out to learn more about firefighters. Megan is currently working full time with Fairfax County Fire and Rescue in Virginia and provides freelance counseling, presentations, and is always interested in a challenge.
