Dietitian & Nutritionist

Dr. Anne Bodensteiner

You didn’t choose aviation because it was easy. You chose it because you’re driven, capable, and committed to performing at your best.

But fueling your body in this career? That’s another story.

Healthy eating looks different at 35,000 feet when you have early show times, different time zones, long days, and airport food, so the advice that works on the ground often falls apart in the air.

That’s where I come in. I’m Anne, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and founder of Flight Crew Nutrition. For more than 20 years, I’ve helped people build realistic, sustainable nutrition habits with a specialized focus on pilots, ATC, and flight attendants who need strategies that work with their trips, not against them.

I understand this lifestyle not just professionally, but personally. Being married to a helicopter-turned-airline pilot, I’ve seen firsthand the fatigue, the unpredictability, and the quiet pressure flight crew carry. You don’t need rigid rules or perfectionism. You need a plan that fits your world.

Together, we create simple, practical strategies to support:
- Steady energy on long duty days
- Mental clarity in the flight deck or cabin
- Better sleep across time zones
- Long-term health without burnout

With advanced training in weight management and Integrative and Functional Nutrition, plus board certification in health and wellness coaching, I bring both expertise and compassion to our work. But most importantly, I help you build habits you can actually sustain trip after trip, year after year. Because when your nutrition works, you can focus on what you do best: flying safely, serving confidently, and feeling good in the career you’ve worked so hard to build.
