Meet Laura

Performance nutrition coaching for runners and HYROX athletes

I’m Laura Dotson—sports nutritionist, strength coach, endurance athlete, and founder of Lively X Performance.

For more than 15 years, I’ve worked across nutrition, fitness, and behavior change—from research and digital health leadership to personal training and building my own women’s fitness studio.

With two master’s degrees and specialized certifications in strength, running, HYROX, and endurance nutrition — yes, that’s a mouthful — I bring together science, firsthand experience, and practical coaching to help you train stronger, perform better, and fuel what’s next.

I’m in it with you

I’m not coaching performance from the sidelines.

I’m still training, racing, learning and applying the same principles I share with my clients.

You don’t have to arrive as an athlete. You just need a goal and a willingness to begin.
