Miah DeSantis - Registered Dietitian at Schulte Wellness. She specializes in sports nutrition, focusing on fueling properly for performance and recovery. Miah took an interest in sports nutrition in high school (at Springfield Shawnee) where she ran cross country and track. She realized that if she was going to be able to perform at her best, she had to improve her fueling. Miah walked-on Ohio University's XC team but didn't have the success she hoped for.  As a result, she wants to help all athletes achieve their dreams in the best way she knows how, which is through nutrition.
