About

Hi there! Let me introduce myself. My name is Rebecca Fallihee and I’m a board-certified and licensed nutritionist. I’ve been working within the realm of public health (nutrition education) and now clinical practice for over eight years, and well, both my health and athletic journeys began around birth, as my first and formative memories were of being on horses, active and outside most of the day, and unleashing my competitive spirit in the myriad of ways it does as a child.

Later I began running and haven’t stopped. And even before my memories began, I was challenged with digestive issues and food allergies/intolerances. Along the way of getting from early childhood to here, my health took a few sharp twists. I got side-tracked by an eating disorder and ultimately worked my way out of it. As I navigated through my 20’s, I re-developed several food intolerances, digestive complaints, malabsorption, autoimmune issues and long stretches of chronic pain. All of that led me to grad school for nutrition and herbal medicine and becoming a clinical nutritionist.

What lights me up and has become my focus in the realm of nutrition and health is that:

• Health care nourishes wellness instead of just purely treating symptoms and disease.
• We treat root causes instead of putting band-aids on symptoms.
• We work with the whole person, with the acknowledgement that our entire lifestyle (eating patterns, environment, stress, sleep, training load, family, social, and spiritual connections, etc.) contributes to wellbeing.
• You can be active and achieve your athletic goals and still heal your body – as an active person and goal-oriented athlete myself, I understand the need to push yourself in ways that sometimes contributes to the health imbalance. We work with that!

I currently work with individuals who want guidance on nutrition, particularly supporting digestive issues, fatigue, nutritional support and performance for endurance athletes, autoimmune, intuitive eating, and meeting needs on a plant-based diet. I currently live in Eugene, Oregon and work both in-person for those locally as well as via distance.
