About Emi

Emi grew up on a farm in rural southeastern Minnesota, where she thrived on home education and running around as free as a bird on her family’s acreage.

She joined the Cannon Falls cross country and track teams in eighth grade. She became a three-time state champion in cross country, the 800m, and 3200m before continuing to run locally for the University of Minnesota-Duluth. Some of her highlights during her four years there include: eleven All-American honors, seven school records, 800m and 1500m champion at the Drake Relays, and NCAA Division II national champion in the 1500m. After graduating with a degree in exercise science, she joined the professional running team, Minnesota Distance Elite, in 2018. She trained and competed at an elite level for six years while completing her master’s degree in nutrition and dietetics.

Emi’s passion for nutrition was shaped by her love of homegrown food and her personal journey of overcoming low energy and disordered eating in college. Through her own pursuit of better health, she discovered how valuable — and often inaccessible — quality nutrition support can be. Now, as a dietitian, Emi is committed to helping individuals optimize their nutrition for both performance and long-term health. She takes the time to truly listen and understand each person’s background, offering practical and sustainable solutions tailored to their unique lifestyle and goals.

Testimonials

  • I know that my athletes and parents got a ton of knowledge from Emi's presentation. She had great knowledge about nutrition, injuries, and how what we put into our bodies affects our running and athletics in general. We plan on having her back this spring have let other coaches know about how well received her presentation was.

  • Emilee has been my nutritionist for about 6 months now and has really helped me adjust my eating habits to improve my health. Even though I travel about 60-70% of the time for work, she has helped me develop strategies to support healthy choices even during dinners out and long conferences. I have lost over 20 lbs and my cholesterol and blood sugar are in the “healthy” ranges for the first time in a long time!

    Satisfied Client

  • Working with Emi has been truly transformative. With her guidance on boosting my protein, adjusting supplements, and strengthening specific muscles, I’ve lost my “muffin top,” gained steady energy, and even ran my first 5K in many years. Her personalized, encouraging approach has helped me feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in my fueling and exercise. I’m so grateful for her support and expertise!

    Satisfied Client

    Heahter

  • Emi recently spoke to our high school cross country team, and her presentation was outstanding.  She explained nutrition in a way that was clear, practical, and engaging for our athletes. Emi offered helpful, actionable advice that our runners could start using right away to improve their performance and overall well-being. Her enthusiasm and genuine care for young athletes really stood out. We’re grateful for her time and highly recommend her to any team looking to improve their approach to fueling and recovery.

    Pete

  • What I value most about working with Emi is her kind, genuine demeanor and the steady professionalism she brings to every conversation. Her advice is always intelligent and grounded in real knowledge—not the latest fad. Because of that, I feel confident, encouraged, and on a healthier path.
