In a world overloaded with information, navigating nutrition and wellness can be overwhelming. 

This year’s annual Fetzer Lecture will feature Bridget Easley, MS, RDN, LMNT, a renowned nutrition expert, who will discuss the importance of simplifying nutrition for both athletic performance and overall health.

She will deliver her talk, “Power Nutrition – Simple Strategies for Meaningful Results,” on April 1 from 7-8 p.m. 

Easley emphasizes that food is not meant to be complicated—it is meant to fuel and nourish. With constant influences from media, diet trends, and peers, many struggle to discern the best dietary choices. In her lecture, Easley will break down nutrition myths and offer a mindful, evidence-based approach to eating. By focusing on fundamental nutrition principles rather than seeking quick fixes, individuals can make better choices to enhance their health and performance.

With over 19 years of experience in nutrition counseling, Easley specializes in areas such as gastrointestinal health, eating disorders, sports nutrition, weight management, and women’s health. She holds a B.S. in Nutrition and Dietetics from Northwest Missouri State University and a master’s degree in nutrition and health sciences from the University of Nebraska. Through her private practice, Power Nutrition, and as co-founder of Manifest Integrated Health, she helps individuals bridge the gap between mind, body, and wellness.

A dedicated athlete, Easley has firsthand experience with the role of nutrition in performance. Having qualified for the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in 2012, she credits her success to a combination of rigorous training and a commitment to proper nutrition. Her passion for health and fitness translates into her work, where she helps clients develop sustainable, mindful eating habits that support their well-being.
