Meet Allysa:
Allysa Seely is a decorated Paralympian and World Champion with an extraordinary career highlighted by multiple medals and titles. She also just happens to be a sponsored Compleat® tubie.
"I'm a very intrinsically motivated person," says Allysa. "I'm motivated by my growth as an individual, and to become the best athlete that I can be."
While Allysa's athletic career propelled, she soon found that the rigors of training were taking a toll on her body. “I went from being a nationally ranked athlete to sleeping 20 hours a day." Allysa struggled to consume even 700 calories of the 3,000 required by an athlete of her caliber and, in 2017, after years of struggling with nutrition, weight challenges, and gastrointestinal surgeries, her journey as a tubie began.
Having made the decision, along with her trusted dietitian, to switch to tube feeding, Allysa's search for a formula that suited her needs began. "I was looking for plant-based, real food ingredients and Compleat® offered that option." After much research, and with a feeding plan and schedule in place, Allysa chose Compleat® Peptide 1.5.
"Tube feeding gave me life and allowed me to continue fulfilling my dreams," says Allysa. "Compleat® made me feel that I could accomplish what I set out to do. As an athlete, it is immensely important that I fuel my body with the highest quality ingredients to support my training and lifestyle. I also love that I can look at the label and know what I am putting into my body – only wholesome, real food ingredients."
Today and Tomorrow
She is a two-time Paralympic gold medalist (2020 Tokyo Games and 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games), a bronze medalist at the Paris 2024 Games, a five-time World Champion, and the winner of nine total World Championship medals. Allysa has also reached the podium in 46 of her 51 elite races, including 16 World Series gold medals. In recognition of her achievements, she was honored with the ESPY Award for Best Female Athlete with a Disability.
Beyond her athletic success, Allysa has built a meaningful platform to connect with and inspire others—especially fellow "tubies." She shares, "I can show the world and our community that many things are possible, no matter your life experience."
While tube feeding initially felt overwhelming and intimidating, Allysa has refused to let it hold her back. "It hasn't stopped me from chasing and accomplishing my biggest dreams," she says. "Do not limit your dreams because you are a tubie, and never accept anything less than your best."
