Where the Athletic and Culinary World Meet
The Athletic Performance Club
We have the ambitious goal of redefining performance nutrition, blending evidence-based science with the pleasures of the table, bringing a little piece of Italianness to our athletes' lives. We fuel professional athletes worldwide with tailored coaching, while nourishing the body and satisfying taste buds.
Our holistic approach emphasizes that delicious foods and dominating performances can coexist, catering to elite athletes from various disciplines, including ADCC and IBJJF champions, UFC title contenders, NHL and NFL players, professional motorcycle racers, and Rugby 15 national team members.
From Professional to Recreational Athletes
Food is more than just fuel; it's a vital part of our socio-cultural life. We celebrate the stories behind every dish while promoting a healthy relationship with performance nutrition. Our focus is on athletes of all levels, from professionals to recreational enthusiasts, as sports are essential for well-being. We prioritize carbohydrates for fuel, embrace a food first approach, and recognize the importance of sleep and recovery. Enjoying meals like pasta can complement weight management without hindering performance. Our mission is empowering athletes to reach their full potential through evidence-based nutrition.
I have known Dr. Capodaglio for three years, and we have been constantly in touch to discuss traditional Italian recipes that I have been using working as a private chef. Every time we talk about food, I am amazed by how he can explain the scientific aspect of a dish, breaking it down ingredient by ingredient.
His strong formal education background meets his passion for food and tradition, making him a unique interpreter of Italian performance nutrition in the US.
If you want to learn about the Italian culinary heritage and its compatibility with a healthy lifestyle, CAPONUTRITION will not disappoint your expectations!
As a business owner, my days are jampacked full of meetings. However, I am also a competitive athlete and before working with CAPONUTRITION, I often ran out of energy and was exhausted when I arrived at training or so tired that I could not concentrate in my conference calls. Dr Capodaglio has been a miracle worker in smoothening out my energy levels so I can peak for the right activity. Especially leading up to competitions, I no longer worry about weight or food because I know the protocols will have variety (not bland!) and give me the energy to win. Since working with Dr Capodaglio, I have medaled at international major at the Adult level, often beating full-time competitors almost 20 years younger than me.
I first reached out to Matteo in January, 2022. We connected and began working together immediately. I was impressed with his depth of knowledge and how quick his response time was. Subtle changes at first and constantly adding and changing the plan as needed. Everything in the plan is there for a purpose, completely customized to my specific training regimen and upcoming competitions with constant check ins and open lines of communication. Matteo and I have continued to build a solid relationship and are on track for big things this season. As a dedicated athlete who strives to stay on task year round, Matteo is the perfect coach.
I work between Los Angeles and NYC. Running a tailoring brand on the country's two coasts is a highly demanding job, and I need to be in top shape all year round regardless of red-eye flights and multiple meetings. Working with CAPONUTRITION helped me understand how my body works. However, the main benefit of our journey was learning the principles determining balanced and sustainable eating. Being born in Italy, it is essential to keep my Mediterranean roots, Dr Capodaglio does not ostracize carbohydrates; he teaches when is their proper timing and pairing. CAPONUTRITION has a unique vision, and I strongly recommend it to those who visited Italy and came back missing the tasty food they enjoyed in Rome, Florence, and Venice.
