IT'S THAT GOOD MEDICINE
Peak performance shouldn't come at the cost of your health.
Movement should feel like medicine.
I'm Dr. Nikia Evans,
MD, MS-APK, CSCS

I help elite athletes and active humans translate biomechanics, energy-system development, and whole-body performance science into training that actually supports their hormones, gut, and nervous system — not work against them. My role is to understand the full picture of an athlete’s life and load, identify the hidden friction points, and teach them how to train, fuel, and recover in a way that strengthens both performance and long-term health.
Briefly my background spans the following:
-
Collegiate NCAA Division I and professional athlete
-
Master of Science in Applied Physiology & Kinesiology with a specialization in elite athlete development
-
Published researcher in nutritional metabolomics
-
Current researcher in biomechanics, energy systems, and hormone-supportive performance using wearable technology
-
Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)
-
Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) with training in breath, mobility, and nervous-system regulation
-
Extensive continuing education in:
-
fascia-informed movement (recovery, speed development, power)
-
nervous-system pacing for endurance
-
metabolic priming and energy system development
-
sustainable programming utilizing wearable technology
-
-
10+ years of coaching experience with 500+ elite youth, collegiate, master’s, and professional athletes
What makes my work unique is my ability to synthesize full landscape of human performance — how mechanics, energy systems, stress load, hormones, immune system, and more interact over time. Many of my clients already know a lot about training and health, but they’re navigating busy lives and complex bodies. I help them troubleshoot what isn’t working, interpret what their body is asking for, and refine their training so it builds efficiency, resilience, and metabolic capacity without sacrificing gut health, hormonal rhythms/fertility, or the nervous system.
My philosophy is simple: train smarter, nourish deeply, recover intentionally — and build performance that endures.
Get on the waitlist for a coaching consult.
I work with a very small roster of elite athletes and active humans at a time to ensure each client receives deep, individualized attention. My 1:1 coaching is currently full, however I reopen spaces for consults and ongoing coaching seasonally as athletes transition through new phases of training and life.
