Amy Goldsmith founded Kindred Nutrition in 2010. She became a dietitian in 1999 and although she has worked with many realms of Medical Nutrition Therapy, specializes in Eating Disorders, Sports Nutrition, and Practice Management. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Eating Disorder treatment is a very specific niche. Receiving treatment from someone who does not understand the disease can be dangerous and create frustration and hopelessness. Amy is honest and transparent and  is compassionate that everyone deserves to feel well.  While creating a non judgement safe space, she meets everyone where they are and will advocate or model how to advocate for your needs. The focus is first on clinical safety in sustainable, non threatening ways and we move through treatment together as you evolve towards remission and recovery. You are a part of the treatment team and your voice matters.

As a sports nutritionist and dietitian, Amy assists with getting the client to peak performance by incorporating optimal nutrition before, during training, race/game/event time, and recovery. Amy Goldsmith works with people individually, through teams, and within the community and has been interviewed live through Frederick Advice Givers and WUSA-TV. You can see both here.

She has been featured in multiple media outlets and works directly with Frederick County Schools, Montgomery County Schools, Run Farther and Faster, Odin Crossfit, Multiple Swim Clubs and Division 1 Collegiate Athletes throughout the United States.

In her spare time Amy enjoys spending time with her husband, two children, and Portuguese Water Dogs, while focusing on joyful movement and relaxing by the pool.

Introducing: Kindred Kinetics our Sports Performance Division of Kindred Nutrition and Wellness​

• In peer reviewed research published by Saura, Rentero, and Herndandez in February 2019 ​Sports Nutrition is mentioned as “invisible training.”

• Sports Nutrition will change body composition and nutrient requirements AND is specific to the type and duration of output as compared to the non athlete population.​​​

• Sports Nutrition should include macronutrient consumption, hydration recommends, and timing of meals dependent on the type and intensity of exercise.

**Macronutrient recommendations is a very SPECIALIZED recommendation that is based off of carbohydrate load, protein needs and fat requirements. Be aware of someone who spits out a macronutrient recommendation without doing a full clinical assessment***

• Low Carbohydrate intake is associated with:
  • Loss of abilities
  • Risk of injury
  • Poor decision making

​

Sports Nutrition recommendations should be specific to prescribe fuel for before, during, and after activity.

• Exercise performance is impaired when an individual is dehydrated by 2% of body weight.

• A 5% loss in hydration decreases work capacity by 30%.

• Post workout Protein may stimulate muscular adaptation and endurance but will not aid in recovery and must be paired wtih carbohydrates to stimulate recovery.

At Kindred Nutrition we recognize that too many claim to have the knowledge of sports nutrition. This negatively affects performance, the understanding of needs, and lacks the ability to provide ideas of how to integrate proper nutrition.
