IRONMAN Triathlete and Registered Dietitian

Registered Dietitian Name:Beth Peterson

Instagram:@imbethpeterson

Hometown:North Easton, MA

Where Beth Grew Up:Pittsburgh, PA

Education:BS Nutritional Sciences from Penn State University; currently working towards an MS in Nutritional Sciences from Arizona State University

Dietitian Experience:Beth has now been a registered dietitian for over 20 years, and in many different capacities - clinically, in wellness, and with athletes. Although the focuses are a bit different each time, the goal is the same - to help people live, feel, and perform better through solid nutrition and fueling.

Athletic Highlights:Beth grew up as a runner and competed in cross country and track throughout high school, and then for Penn State. After college, like most injured runners, Beth turned to triathlon, expecting to do one or two sprints for fun, and then get back to running full time. More than 15 years later, seven of which were spent racing professionally, Beth still at the triathlon thing. She had taken time away from IRONMAN to do ultra run races (those are hard), mountain bike racing, and even some off-road triathlons. Ultimately IRONMAN lured Beth back in. Now as an older, slower age grouper, Beth still enjoys the grind of the training and lifestyle.

Hobbies:Eating pizza? Swim/bike/run takes enough time...

Why work with The Core Diet:Beth's first experience with the Core Diet was as an athlete. The approach to race fueling made SUCH a big difference for her, that she jumped at the opportunity to be on the other end of the nutrition education, when it was offered. The attention to detail and the science-based approach to fueling is really second to none.

Triathlete, Marathoner, Registered Dietitian, Youth Junior Qualified

Anne received her Master of Science, Nutrition and Dietetics from NYU, is a board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics, Registered Dietitian and Licensed Dietitian and Nutritionist in the state of Massachusetts, a USAT certified Level 1 Coach and certified trainer. She began her ventures into the wellness arena in the early 90’s working in gyms as a trainer and group instructor while pursuing an acting career in New York City. 

 

Always a runner, she volunteered for the New York Road Runners Foundation as a running coach serving public schools throughout the 5 boroughs providing after school running programs. Noticing the nutrition, or lack thereof, with her students, she designed a nutrition program and began writing nutrition articles for the Foundation. Intrigued by the field, she enrolled as a dietetics student at NYU and soon partnered NYU students and the Foundation, delivering a unique and interactive workshop regarding nutrition for ages 8-15. 

  

After graduation and relocating to the Boston area, Rollins was introduced to a local triathlon training group, QT2 Systems, looking for dietitians to help support their athletes via the sister company, The Core Diet. As a long time runner and endurance athlete, the fit was natural. Anne additionally worked clinically with the critically ill and dialysis patients before finding herself as the campus dietitian for Perkins School for the Blind where she provided individual counseling and menu design for students age 3-22.  

Last year, Rollins promoted proper nutrition while coaching her LUSC boys 11 soccer team and to several Pop Warner football teams. She is currently working with her local football league to develop an off-season plan for the players.  

Anne runs a wellness center outside Boston that embraces balanced fitness and recovery for people of all ages and abilities. She is a proud mom of two invigorating children who joined her in their very successful, first triathlon this year. She has competed at the half Ironman distance for four seasons and is excited to race her first full Ironman this year. Anne is still an active Screen Actors Guild member.

What Our Nutrition Clients Say?

I remember laughing when Jesse told me I should weigh 168 pounds in order to perform at my triathlon potential. "Should" and "could" were two very different things in my book. But wouldn't you know that in a 3 month period under Jesse's direction I dropped from 188 pounds to 168, and then raced triathlons during the 2006 season in the mid 160s. The results of the weight loss were immediately evident in my performance at Half Ironman where I logged over a 10 minute improvement from the prior year.

Drew Bennett, Ironman TriathleteLost 20lbs in 12 weeks.

"I lost 18 pounds over 15 weeks in preparation for the NYC marathon last year. I couldn't have done it without the Core Diet"

Trish Kelly, Boston MALost 18 pounds over 15 weeks.
