Meet the Shot-caller
Chief Ballout Baller

Hey, I’m Anne-Marie — and I’m so glad you’re here.
Growing up as an athlete, and continuing to work with athletes throughout my adult life, I’ve always been fascinated by the gut → brain → body connection — how what we fuel ourselves with directly impacts how we feel, think, and perform.
What started as a personal journey after being diagnosed with food sensitivities (I couldn’t properly digest dairy or gluten) quickly evolved into something much bigger. I became deeply committed to understanding how a nutrient-dense, whole-food approach can not only support performance, but also help protect the body from injury and long-term disease.
At the time, I was pursuing my Holistic Nutrition Certification while working as the VP of Sports Marketing for a nutrition supplement company that supported Team USA Olympic athletes and other professionals. That experience became a pivotal piece of the puzzle.
It was eye-opening to see how many athletes were relying on highly processed foods — often filled with gluten, dairy, and additives — as their primary fuel source. It didn’t align with what I was learning or experiencing firsthand.
That realization led me down my own path of research, recipe development, and hands-on testing — ultimately becoming passionate about educating others from the inside out. Because truly, we are what we eat.
From that mission, Ballout Fuel was born.
Using thoughtfully sourced, nutrient-dense, whole food ingredients — free from gluten, dairy, soy, and preservatives — we’ve created a cleaner way to fuel your body. Every product is made with intention and crafted from ingredients like dark chocolate, plant-based protein, raw almonds, coconut oil, and cacao.
I also leaned on some of my favorite “ballers” — the professional athletes I’ve had the privilege of working with — to help test and refine what would become our go-to favorites.
The result is Ballout Fuel — built for performance, recovery, and real life.
I’m so excited to be a part of your wellness journey, to hear how you “ball out” in your own way, and to continue growing this community rooted in health, strength, and feeling your absolute best.

xx,
A-M (Anne-Marie )
