Hi, I’m Shelby, a sports dietitian and passionate about keeping my fellow athletes fueled. I received my Bachelor’s degree in nutrition and dietetics from Marywood University and completed my internship and Master’s degrees also in nutrition and dietetics from the University of Vermont. After passing the RD exam, I headed out to San Diego, CA to my first duty station in the US Navy.  I served for 9 years and had the privilege of traveling the world while teaching our service members how to live a healthy lifestyle and stay fit to fight. I deployed on the USNS Mercy in 2016, and spent my time in Yokosuka, Japan, Pensacola, FL and Sunny San Diego where I currently live. I work as an informatics dietitian at a local hospital writing menus and completing nutrient analyses.  When I left the Navy at the end of 2023 I decided to take the leap and open my own private practice. Because of the endless stream of nutrition information online (which is not always correct), I feel a need to continue to educate athletes of all levels, since we deserve to know how to nourish our bodies properly. When I’m not working, I enjoy running (Boston Marathon finisher and damn proud of it!), gardening, hiking, practicing yoga and spending time with my husband and dog. 

So, whether you are just starting your athletic journey or have been at it for years, I invite you to join me at Shelby Naughton Nutrition and take a step to reach your peak performance!

Best,
Shelby
