I am an AfN Registered Sports Nutritionist, MSc Sports Nutrition, BSc, ISAK Level 1, UKAD Advisor.  My current roles include Performance Nutritionist at CPFC Academy, Bromley FC, Bam Organic, The Bird Dance College and individual work with professional and recreational athletes across various sports, with an emphasis on combat & weight making sports.

 

Nutrition is so often unnecessarily overcomplicated & miscommunicated so it’s good to go back to basics and work up from there.  

 

No matter whether clients are recreational or professional athletes, it’s always important to encourage them to think about what they’re eating and whether it’s going to help or hinder performance.  It’s not rocket science, often it comes down to common sense but if you want to maximise performance, it’s really important to understand how your body deals with food and how it interacts with training. The key is education and communicating sports nutrition science in a user-friendly way.  That way, we can develop autonomous clients that can confidently make informed decisions about what they’re eating, when and why, wherever they may be.

 

I also think it’s important to practice what I preach and road test my nutrition advice.  I’ve done several marathons and triathlons and do the Winter Fan Dance each year.  I’m always training for something and up for a new challenge and always horribly competitive.  I know that getting my nutrition right makes a big difference to how I perform and recover.

 

In addition to my professional roles, I’m a mum to two sporty kids and wife to a GB age group triathlete so I’ve always got plenty of scope to test out my nutrition advice and make sure it’s relevant to clients, whatever their age or individual goal.
