Head Coach: Keri Hatley
Keri is a huge nerd about everything nutrition. Fascinated by the effect that food has on performance and body composition, she has tried almost every eating style--including a five year stint as a vegetarian and a couple of years eating strict paleo. Later, she started working with other nutrition coaches and began tracking her macronutrient intake. After four weeks, she had transformed her body and uncovered six-pack abs that had been hiding just under the surface for decades. Needless to say, she was hooked. An avid learner and researcher, Keri is continuously advancing her nutrition knowledge. She holds a Nutrition Coaching certificate from Precision Nutrition, has completed the Nutritional Therapy course from the Nutritional Therapy Association, and has coached over 600 athletes through ShredScience.
Keri has a diverse athletic background that gives her a wide perspective in working with athletes. A ten-time varsity letterman, she was recruited to run on her High School's varsity cross country and varsity track team as an 8th grader. She continued to run competitively in college. She shifted gears and began racing bicycles in 2011, and raced cyclocross and mountain for Crosshairs Cycling out of Washington D.C., and rode for Primal/McDonald Audi out of Denver, Colorado. She dabbled briefly in Crossfit before discovering her new love of powerlifting in 2014. Wanting to be outside more and more, Keri began summitting 14,000+ peaks and rock climbing (sport and trad) in 2019.
Keri founded Shred Science Nutrition with the goal of helping her clients lose weight and build lean muscle to unlock their optimum performance. She gets tremendous pride and enjoyment from helping clients--whether they consider themselves athletes or not--reach their goals through simple, nutritious eating.
Associate Coach: Kendra Manley
A lifelong competitive athlete, Kendra has been an NFL cheerleader for the Kansas City Chiefs, a kickboxer, a crossfitter, and a dance and aerial instructor. Her father’s cancer diagnosis in 1996 opened her eyes to the connection between health and nutrition, a connection she has been committed to exploring ever since. In 2019, Kendra began her own nutrition journey when she signed up for coaching through ShredScience. Her mind was so blown by watching her body composition change that she decided to become certified as a nutrition coach herself so that she could help others transform their bodies. Anyone who meets Kendra sees her eyes light up when the topic of nutrition comes up. She loves to dive head-first into questions about fueling or physiology. She is a self-described “research geek” who loves to self-experiment and keep up with the latest nutrition and sport research. Kendra also loves trying new high protein recipes and finding creative new ways to hit that protein target!
Kendra holds a nutrition coaching certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, along with a Personal Training certificate.
