Marisa Faibish

Marisa Faibish was born in South Florida and was a competitive soccer player her entire life. She knew at a very young age she wanted to help people just didn’t know at what capacity yet. She originally went to college to become a meteorologist and environmental scientist with the wild idea that she become a storm chaser. She then realized this was not her calling and started diving into the biochemistry of our bodies and how nutrition can impact our performance and health exponentially.

She is currently the lead dietitian for the Norton Sports Health Performance & Wellness Center and the Bellarmine Knights. Prior to her time with Norton Healthcare, she was the Director of Performance Nutrition at Florida State University, where she oversaw and led the entire nutrition program for FSU Athletics. Her duties included translating scientific research into practical performance nutrition recommendations, conducted cooking classes, individualized nutritional needs for all athletes as well as played a key role in the overall operations of nutrition for competition and travel. Before Florida State, Marisa was the first full time dietitian and Director of Performance Nutrition at Appalachian State University. Her duties included building the entire nutrition program, creating protocols regarding performance nutrition and collaborating closely as an active member of the athletic performance team. Faibish is a two-time Florida State graduate.

Marisa enjoys hiking, soccer, beach volleyball, traveling, anything with her golden retriever, powerlifting and running.
