Hi there, and welcome!
I’m
Angie Dye
a registered dietitian, sports nutritionist, and founder of Carpe Diem Nutrition
I’m so glad you are here!
I founded my practice because I saw a gap: athletes like you were being told that being smaller, leaner, and lighter would get you your best results, but instead, the pursuit of weight loss led to lackluster performances, injuries, and burnout.
Dang: even though you’d been training hard for months, your nutrition and hydration routine were holding you back.
Alas, you did not reach your full potential. Yet.
That’s where I come in!

NEW BLOG ALERT 💪
Having a sweet tooth is NOT a bad thing, it is NOT a flaw. As a dietitian and Intuitive Eating Counselor, I believe eating for pleasure and eating for performance are equally important.
In my latest blog post, you’ll learn what the guidelines really say about sugar and how often you can enjoy a sweet treat.
5 fave sweet treats for athletes:
✨ Peanut butter yogurt cup with magic shell topping
✨ Tru Fru chocolate covered frozen fruit
✨ Chocolate mousse from Chocolate Covered Katie
✨Carrot cake bread from The Recipe Critic
✨ Banana oatmeal protein breakfast cookies by Hannah Magee, RD
Sweet treats can be eaten at any time, as a pre-workout, after a meal, or just for pleasure.
Sugar is just a nutrient, not a moral issue.
Check out the full blog to read more in depth on how athletes can incorporate sweet treats WITHOUT guilt 💥 Link in bio

Medal Monday 🏅
Jim Thorpe Half Marathon 🏃🏻♀️
Went into this race with a little plantar fasciitis, which I haven’t had in about 5 years.
I figured it would hurt a little more than usual, but my fitness was good and I wanted to see what I could do.
Woke up feeling refreshed and ready to go, but by about mile 3, I thought here it is - my very first DNF. The pain in my right foot was excruciating and I didn’t think it made sense to keep pushing.
No biggie…I’ll just figure out how to get off the course. But as far as I could see it was just rail trail.
Train tracks to my left and a river to my right. Very few aid stations and no vehicles. Uh-oh.
I thought maybe I could run/walk to the 6.5mi turn around and someone might be there to bring me back?
No luck; just an orange sign and no people at the turn around.
So, the only way to get off the course was to finish. And at that point, the pain got so bad that it almost didn’t hurt anymore.
Short steps and keep moving. That’s all I did.
One of my slowest half marathons of all time, but I did it. I don’t recommend racing injured, but it’s interesting how the mind can overcome the body in situations like this.
And if you are looking for a great railtrail half, The Jim Thorpe Running Festival is a beautiful venue…even in the rain ☔️ My friend @dreasheart crushed it.
Icing, resting, and recovering until the #lewisburgtriathlon next month 💪

NEW BLOG ALERT 💪
Creatine is one of the most researched, most effective, and most underused supplements by women - especially endurance athletes.
So let’s break it down ⬇️
✨ Creatine helps your body make quick energy (aka more strength + endurance)
✨ It supports muscle recovery, hydration, and brain health
✨ It can even help with hormone changes during menopause
..AND women tend to have lower natural creatine stores, so supplementation can be extra beneficial.
The sweet spot?
👉 A consistent daily dose of 3-5g Creatine monohydrate (no need to “load”)
Creatine helps you feel stronger, not bigger.
Check out the full blog to read more in depth on the benefits of creatine, proper dosing, and my top picks that are NSF-certified! 💥

The Benefits of Creatine for Women, with 7 Brands to Consider, from a Sports Dietitian
I get a lot of questions about creatine in my private practice - especially from my ladies! Once considered a supplement reserved for men trying to bulk up, creatine has certainly made its way into the mainstream as a top supplement to help women build and repair...
Frequently Asked Questions
Learn How it Works!
How much will it cost?
A 1-hour initial consultation is $150, and follow-up appointments are $75-$112, depending on the length of the session.
In Pennsylvania, many healthcare plans cover Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) with no out-of-pocket costs, if your deductible has been met.
However, every individual insurance plan varies greatly, so please check with your individual plan on coverage specifics.
I am not a Medicare provider, as they do not cover nutrition counseling for my specialty areas.
What does a dietitian do?
At your initial consultation, I will review your medical history, lab values (if available) as well as your dieting history.
We will talk about your current schedule and set realistic, achievable goals that fit with your lifestyle.
I will provide you with recipes and meal ideas to support your goals, and provide access to meal logging software, should you choose this option.
What is Intuitive Eating?
Intuitive Eating is an evidenced-based, mind-body health approach, comprised of 10 Principles and created by two dietitians, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch in 1995.
It is a weight-neutral model with a validated assessment scale and over 90 studies to date (Tribole 2017).
Essentially, Intuitive Eating is a personal process of honoring health by listening and responding to the direct messages of the body in order to meet your physical and psychological needs.
For more information, please visit: https://www.intuitiveeating.org
Please note: although Intuitive Eating may sound very appealing, it may not be right for you if you have a newly diagnosed eating disorder.
Initially, you may need more structured support to start healing. You and your therapist can decide when Intuitive Eating is an appropriate step in your recovery.
Where are you located?
We provide guidance to individuals located within the central Pennsylvania region.
However, we can also help clients in Maryland via telehealth services.
Is Intuitive Eating right for me?
Yes! Intuitive Eating is right for everyone, but you need to be ready to let go of dieting and embrace what is already inside of you.
Can you just tell me what to eat?
This is a trick question.
Of course I can just tell you what to eat, but that would be boring and essentially another form of a diet.
I would rather spend our time together working on ways to get you enjoying the foods you love in ways that feel good and in line with your health goals.
I can provide meal ideas and recipes to support these goals, but I rarely take pleasure in telling anyone exactly what to eat!
Can you recommend dietary supplements?
I will assess your current eating for any nutrition gaps that exist.
I will always try to meet dietary needs with food first, but if that isn’t possible, I can certainly recommend supplements.
