Looking for a nutritionist near you who actually understands athletes, performance, and mental health? At Balance Chaos, we provide San Diego-based sports nutrition coaching that’s rooted in evidence and compassion. We have extensive experience working with D1 athletes, active individuals, and those navigating eating disorders, mental health obstacles, recovery and burnout.
We offer individualized coaching that meets you where you are, whether you’re training for your sport, healing your relationship with food, or working through gut issues, mental health struggles, burnout, or low energy.

Our areas of expertise include:

  • Athletic Performance
  • RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) and low energy availability
  • Disordered eating and eating disorders
  • Alcohol and substance use recovery
  • ADHD, depression, and mental health conditions
  • Gastrointestinal symptoms and gut health

Our nutrition coaching is ideal for:

  • Teens, college students, and adults looking to improve performance, energy, or food relationship
  • Coaches, parents, and athletes seeking expert guidance
  • Anyone seeking compassionate nutrition support without the pressure of perfection.

If you’re struggling with gastrointestinal symptoms, you can pair your nutrition coaching with GI-MAP testing or a therapeutic meal plan to better understand what’s driving your symptoms and how to support your gut long-term.

“Chelsea helped me to let go of my diet mindset.

From her, I learned to listen to my body and nourish it when it needed nourishment. She helped me to push away from calorie counting and eating extremely small portions for my size and instead focus on my body’s fullness cues.

I learned that it is not a sin to indulge, and that it is a conscious choice that I can make without it leading me to binging. I also learned that exercise isn’t just about moving the scale but about moving your body to make it feel good and energized.” – Gloria, age 30
