From training fuel and hydration to recovery and race-day nutrition, our athletes now have expert guidance to help them perform at their best, both in and out of the pool!
Matt Dengler, M.Ed., MS, RDN, LDN, is a Registered and Licensed Dietitian based in Charlotte, specializing in sports nutrition, youth athlete development, and performance nutrition. A former NCAA football player, Matt holds masterโs degrees in Sports Science and Human Nutrition and is the founder of RxRD Nutrition, a private nutrition practice established in 2018.
Through RxRD Nutrition, Matt and his team of Registered Dietitians work with athletes across a wide range of ages and sportsโfrom youth and high school athletes to collegiate competitors and active adults. Matt brings a unique combination of academic training, athletic experience, and hands-on experience working with young athletes. His background as a former teacher and coach has given him a strong understanding of how to connect with teenagers, build trust, and translate complex nutrition concepts into practical strategies that athletes can understand and actually use.
His philosophy is simple: nutrition should support performance without taking the enjoyment out of eating. Matt emphasizes realistic, evidence-based strategies that fit into an athleteโs busy schedule, including school, practices, competitions, travel, family life, and social activities. Athletes learn not only what to eat, but also why nutrition matters and how to make confident decisions on their own.
As Team Charlotteโs sports dietitian, Mattย and his team will work alongside athletes, parents, and coaches to provide swimmer-specific nutrition education and fueling strategies designed to help Team Charlotte athletes train harder, recover better, perform at their best, and develop healthy habits that will serve them both in and out of the pool.
