Traci Larson has more than 15 years of experience as a registered dietitian specializing in sports nutrition. Traci manages the Walter Pyramid Fuel Station, where snacks are provided for athletes. She educates all sports teams on proper nutrition for optimal sports performance, conducts individual athlete assessments, and follows up with them. Additionally, she plays a critical role on the eating disorder treatment team.

She graduated from Southeast Missouri State University, where she competed on the women’s gymnastics team. Recognizing a gap in nutrition support for athletes, she pursued a master’s degree in nutrition and focused on working in a college setting. This path led her to roles as the sports dietitian at the University of South Carolina, the University of Southern California, and currently, Long Beach State University.

In addition to her work, Traci has published "Beach Fuel," a cookbook and guide designed for college athletes to prepare balanced, nutritious meals while gaining insights into effective sports nutrition strategies. In her free time, she practices Pilates and enjoys cooking. She enjoys traveling with her family, going to the beach and playing golf.
