Dr. Brooke Wyatt

Brooke Wyatt is a veteran dietitian and board-certified sports nutrition specialist. Brooke joined the IMG Academy+ team after spending four seasons as the LA Galaxy team performance dietitian, where she was responsible for the team’s daily nutrition and individualized athlete counseling.
