Sports nutrition doesn’t have to be complex or confusing. It has two basic aims: To support optimal athlete health and immunity and enhance performance and recovery.
I work with you to help put the fun back into every meal. You shouldn’t feel guilty about what you eat, and together, we work to give you the knowledge, confidence, and control over your own performance diet.
why do I need a sports nutritionist?
Essentially, my role is the same as a coach. I work with you at every step of your season as your Sports Nutritionist to ensure you are optimizing your nutrition to successfully support your training, health, and performance. I look at your diet and periodize how you eat, ensuring you are eating the right foods at the right time.
The process involves discussing your goals, reviewing your performance, analyzing your existing diet, making a nutrition plan, and providing you with the support, skills, and knowledge you need at every stage to nail your nutrition.
Here’s an example of how a sports nutritionist can help you:
You’ve got an entry for your dream race. It cost close to 1 month’s salary to enter, but it’s taken you 3 years to qualify for this prestigious multi-day race. You’ve trained for 6 months, you hired a coach, paid for hotels, transport, and a training camp - on day 1 you DNF due to (choose A, B, or C)
A. It’s hot and you struggle to keep food down leading to a lack of energy. Your GI issues make you throw up and throw in the towel. At the end of day 1, you feel fatigued and decide not to continue.
B. You struggled in training, you can never seem to reach your peak and feel like you plateau early in the season. You struggled to make training adaptations and recovery. At the end of day 1, you feel fatigued and decide not to continue.
C. You were injured during training and lost valuable training time. On top of this you got sick. In addition, your period stopped and this made you worried that you were overtraining, so you backed off and decided to eat less food so you would not put on excess weight. At the end of day 1, you feel fatigued and decide not to continue.
These are just some examples of how a sports nutritionist can help you prepare across the season. The aim of a sports nutritionist is to get you to the start line, healthy, fit and in the best shape you can be. We help you to get the best out of your training, make the adaptations you need to perform, ensure you meet your energy needs, guide gut training, plan your race nutrition, and reduce your chance of illness and injury.
