High-Performing Athletes

- without the burnout.

For athletes who want to perform at their best without burnout, injuries, or setbacks

You (or your athlete) are doing everything right… training hard, eating “healthy,” staying committed.

So why are these still happening?

  • Fatigue that lingers between practices or games

  • Injuries that keep coming back

  • Stalled progress despite more training

  • Digestive issues, brain fog, or mood swings

  • Coaches saying you’re not “explosive” enough

These aren’t just bad luck - they’re signs your body isn’t keeping up with the demands of your sport.

For athletes who want to perform at their best without burnout, injuries, or setbacks

You (or your athlete) are doing everything right… training hard, eating “healthy,” staying committed.

So why are these still happening?

  • Fatigue that lingers between practices or games

  • Injuries that keep coming back

  • Stalled progress despite more training

  • Digestive issues, brain fog, or mood swings

  • Coaches saying you’re not “explosive” enough

These aren’t just bad luck - they’re signs your body isn’t keeping up with the demands of your sport.

Here’s the truth:

Most athletes are caught in a cycle of overtraining and under-fueling - a hidden condition known as Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs).

Add in stress from school, travel, and competition, and you’ve got allostatic load - the accumulated wear and tear that crushes recovery, weakens immunity, and slows performance.

The result?

- Your body breaks down instead of building up

- You lose your competitive edge

- Your risk of burnout and career-shortening injuries skyrockets

The Athlete Accelerator flips that script.

We combine functional medicine testing with personalized sports nutrition strategies to:

- Fix nutrient deficiencies and hormonal imbalances

- Eliminate gut issues and food sensitivities that block absorption

- Restore healthy recovery cycles

- Fuel your body for explosive performance and long-term success

This isn’t a generic meal plan or supplement bundle; it’s a precision strategy built for your body, your sport, and your season.

"My name is Bobby Nardella and I am a professional hockey player, currently with the Washington Capitals organization. I utilized Dr. Bletzinger and his functional nutrition program over the summer throughout off season training. I found that the program was extremely beneficial in identifying areas within my body makeup and diet that needed improvement. I implemented a lot of the information I received from Dr. Bletzinger into cleaning up my diet and eating foods that I knew would help me specifically. I also started taking customized vitamin packs he made which helped balance out levels in the areas I was lacking. Overall, I loved how the program was specifically built for me because everyone’s body is different, and it gave me access to information about my body that you can’t get anywhere else. I came into this season in great shape and my body composition is the best it has ever been. I give credit to Dr. Bletzinger and his program for helping me reach my training goals and boost my overall health and performance to a higher level."

The Athlete Accelerator Process

We use a proven 4-phase approach to assess, correct, fuel, and sustain your performance.

1. Assess

We start by finding exactly what’s holding you back.

Initial Strategy Assessment — detailed intake to identify symptoms, training demands, and goals.

Spotlight Athletic Questionnaire — Tool for Understanding Your Health and Performance.

Blood Chemistry & Targeted Functional Testing — uncover nutrient deficiencies, hormone status, gut health, food sensitivities, metabolic profile.

Performance Metrics — body composition, energy availability, and recovery markers.

2. Correct

- Before we layer on performance strategies, we fix the underlying issues.

- Restore nutrient status and hormone balance

- Resolve gut dysfunction and improve absorption

- Reduce inflammation and correct overtraining patterns

- Re-establish healthy recovery cycles

3. Fuel

Once your foundation is solid, we optimize your game-day and training fuel.

- Personalized macronutrient and micronutrient targets

- Seasonal & sport-specific nutrition cycles (off-season, pre-season, in-season, post-season)

- Supplement protocols from RPA Health’s professional-grade store and custom packs

- Hydration and electrolyte strategies based on your sport demands

4. Sustain

Evolving The Modern Athlete

What Athlete has any other goal than to be their best?

I know you want to be a champion in your sport. To achieve this, you need a training and nutrition program that’s as unique as your own ambitions. The problem is that the market is flooded with generic, one-size-fits-all training programs, which makes you feel frustrated and stagnant in your progress. I believe that every athlete deserves a customized approach that aligns with their specific physiological and biomechanical profile. I understand how discouraging it can feel to train hard and not see the results you expect, which is why I developed the Athlete Accelerator.

By choosing the RPA Health Athlete Accelerator, athletes invest not just in their current abilities but in a sustainable career, optimizing their performance through a program that truly understands and adapts to their individual needs.

You know, they say it takes an athlete to truly understand an athlete. Well, that's me. I used to lace up my skates and hit the ice as a hockey player, so I get the grind, the goals, and the glory of the game. But I also know the pain of injuries and the struggle to perform at your best when your body isn't cooperating.

Fast forward to today, and I've spent the last 20 years diving deep into the world of functional medicine and sports medicine. My mission? To help athletes like you not just bounce back from setbacks but to soar to new heights. Whether you're a pro, an aspiring champ, or just someone who loves to stay active, I'm here to help you perform at your peak.

So, what's my secret sauce? It's all about blending the science of biochemistry with the art of biomechanics. Picture this: I'm like the "mad scientist" behind the scenes, analyzing your body's unique needs and crafting a personalized game plan to help you crush your goals.
