About me

Shannon Strasser, RDN

Hi! I’m Shannon, the owner and founder of Summit Nutrition, LLC.

I have over two decades of experience providing nutrition therapy in a variety of settings. I began my career in hospitals across Kansas City, later specializing in diabetes care within a private endocrinology practice. Over time, I developed a passion for helping people with disordered eating patterns and exercise issues, which led me to a role at the Eating Disorder Center of Denver in 2003.

In 2006, I opened my private practice, drawing on my diverse experience in clinical, fitness, and behavioral health settings. After 20 wonderful years in Colorado, I’m happy to be back in my home state of California.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking and baking with my family, exploring local wineries, and spending time at the beach. I love hiking, paddleboarding, pickleball—and cheering for the Kansas State Wildcats and Kansas City Chiefs! I share my home office with my two shih tzus, Stella and Luna, who often offer a little extra comfort during client sessions.

I help my clients work through real-life challenges with practical, empowering strategies—like learning how to meal plan, grocery shop, cook, improve sleep, manage stress, and exercise in a healthy, mindful way.  

I’m passionate about guiding high school students navigate a successful and healthy transition into college by providing expert nutrition support and compassionate care, so they can begin this new chapter feeling confident and free from their eating disorder.

Instead of using my personal training background in the traditional way, I focus on supporting clients who struggle with compulsive or excessive exercise, guiding them toward a more balanced and positive relationship with movement.
