Your Cognitive Performance Dietitian

I believe in your full potential. You can achieve greatness by eating and hydrating for peak cognitive performance. I created the Lab to help you do this.

Welcome to the Lab,

I am Dr. Jenna Stedman, and I am dedicated to helping you elevate your cognitive performance and brain health through strategic nutrition education.

I completed my Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from the University of New Hampshire and my Doctorate in Clinical Nutrition from Kansas University Medical Center. I am a Registered Dietitian and a Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics. I am also an Adjunct Professor for the University of New England's Graduate Program in Applied Nutrition and Doctor of Clinical Nutrition program.

I began my career working for the military and I saw first hand how vital cognitive performance was, in addition to their physical performance. I found myself more and more interested in eating patterns that supported the brain. My eyes really opened in my last year of school, when I came across a few studies suggesting nutrition therapy for mTBI recovery.

There is a critical need for improved nutritional care for brain health, and I am here to support you every step of the way. I founded the open-source Lab to provide accessible, expert cognitive nutrition guidance to every student and athlete.

Brain health has always been a priority for me and my family, yet there is a widespread lack of awareness about how our diet affects our brains. I am passionate about bringing cognitive nutrition into the spotlight and starting more conversations about its importance.

Outside of work, I enjoy baking (especially experimenting with brain-fueling recipes), amateur ultra-distance rowing (completing marathon, 50k, and 100k events), reading, and spending time with my family and Greatest Dane.

Join the Lab and take control of your nutrition and brain health.

Dr. Jenna Stedman, DCN, RD, CSSD
