Sports Performance

Energy Needs & Fuelling

Whether you're training for endurance, strength, or overall fitness, fuelling your body correctly is key to sustaining energy levels and optimizing performance. I’ll help you:
✔ Assess your energy needs based on your training routine and sport type.
✔ Ensure you're fuelling adequately before, during, and after your workouts.
✔ Balance macronutrients (carbs, protein, fats) to maintain stamina and prevent fatigue.

Race Day & Competition Nutrition

Race day or competition is the culmination of your hard work, and fuelling the body correctly can make or break your performance. I offer tailored guidance to help you:
✔ Plan a carb-loading strategy to maximize glycogen stores for endurance events.
✔ Understand hydration needs to prevent dehydration and cramping.
✔ Choose in-race fuelling options that are effective and gut-friendly.

Muscle Gain & Strength Optimization

Building lean muscle mass or increasing strength isn’t just about lifting more weights—it’s about nourishing your body with the right foods to support growth. I’ll guide you through:
✔ The optimal protein intake to build muscle and support recovery.
✔ Understanding the importance of meal timing and nutrient-rich foods.
✔ Choosing the right supplements to complement training and muscle development.

Pre- & Post-Workout Nutrition

Fueling your body before and after exercise is crucial to maximize performance and speed up recovery. I can help you:
✔ Plan pre-workout meals that boost energy and prevent digestive discomfort.
✔ Create post-workout recovery meals that support muscle repair and restore energy.
✔ Ensure optimal hydration, especially after intense or prolonged training sessions.

Recovery Nutrition

Effective recovery helps you bounce back stronger, prevents injury, and ensures you're ready for your next workout. A well-balanced recovery plan will help you:
✔ Reduce muscle soreness with targeted nutrition.
✔ Replenish energy stores post-training.
✔ Enhance sleep quality with the right foods to promote muscle repair overnight.

Low Iron & Fatigue Management

Low iron levels can severely impact your performance, leading to fatigue, weakness, and slower recovery. I provide advice on:
✔ Iron-rich foods that boost energy levels and promote better endurance.
✔ How to optimize iron absorption, particularly for athletes and females.
✔ Identifying iron deficiency symptoms early and implementing a balanced solution.

Stress Fractures & Bone Health

Stress fractures or injuries can halt your progress and hinder your performance. Nutrition plays an important role in supporting bone health and promoting faster recovery from injuries. I’ll help you:
✔ Ensure adequate nutrients to maintain bone strength.
✔ Understand how nutrition and rest aid in stress fracture recovery.
✔ Reduce re-injury risks through appropriate fuelling and recovery strategies.

Gut Issues & Performance

Gut health issues can cause discomfort and disrupt performance, especially for athletes dealing with IBS, bloating, or food intolerances. I specialize in:
✔ Developing gut-friendly nutrition plans to reduce bloating and discomfort during exercise.
✔ Tailoring your diet to suit specific conditions like IBS, food intolerances, or sensitivities.
✔ Helping you train your gut for optimal fuelling, particularly for long-distance events or competition.
