About the Founder
Meet Lauren Antonucci, MS, RDN, CSSD, CDCES, CDN
Lauren Antonucci is a registered dietitian, triathlete, and lifelong advocate for empowering women through nutrition and performance. She works with active women — from teens to post-menopause — helping them break free from diet culture, trust their bodies, and fuel for real-life performance.
A lifelong athlete herself, Lauren knows firsthand how under-fueling can drain energy, limit performance, and impact overall well-being. Her approach blends science with practicality, emphasizing adequate protein, balanced meals, and intuitive fueling — without rigid rules, obsession, or guilt.
Why Empower Performance Nutrition?
I founded Empower Performance Nutrition, because I believe women have been taught to shrink — physically and emotionally. We’re done with that.
This space exists to help you:
Fuel your body generously — no more under-fueling, no more guilt.
Trust yourself again — reconnect with hunger, fullness, and body signals.
Step into the fully alive version of you — powerful, energetic, confident.
Because when women fuel fully, we don’t just get stronger — we become unstoppable.
Lauren created Empower Performance Nutrition to guide women through sustainable, practical strategies that support strength, energy, performance, and self-trust — all while celebrating the joy of movement, food, and life.
