Northeast College Dean Publishes Guide to Sports Nutrition for Masters Athletes

Northeast College of Health Sciences is proud to announce the publication of a new book by Dr. Peter Nickless, the College’s dean of online education and an expert in sports nutrition. The book, “Sports Nutrition for Masters Athletes,” is available through Wiley publishing services and offers essential guidance for athletes 35 and older looking to optimize their performance and overall health.

Drawing from cutting-edge research and decades of experience in nutrition and education, Nickless provides practical, evidence-based strategies tailored to the unique needs of masters athletes. The book explores key topics such as fueling for endurance, maintaining muscle mass and recovering effectively after exercise—all with the goal of empowering older athletes to achieve peak performance.

“Masters athletes are a growing population, and they face unique challenges when it comes to nutrition and performance,” said Nickless. “This book is designed to be an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to stay active, competitive and healthy as they age.”

Nickless brings an impressive background to this work, including a doctorate in chiropractic (D.C.), a Ph.D., several master’s degrees, and years of teaching, research and consulting in the fields of sports nutrition and health sciences. A celebrated educator at Northeast College, he has been instrumental in advancing the College’s online programs — including an M.S. in applied clinical nutrition — and inspiring future healthcare leaders.
