Performance nutrition for individuals and teams, to maximize your potential, whether for competition, leisure, or health.
We’ve partnered with individuals, groups, teams, and chefs on both national and international stages, to optimise performance through tailored nutrition strategies.
Notable recent work includes serving as the lead nutritionist for the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games. Working with a dedicated team, we ensured that all the athletes’ villages provided nutritionally and culturally appropriate, diverse menus. These menus catered to the wide range of dietary requirements represented across the Commonwealth, supporting athletes in achieving peak performance.
We have previously worked with the chefs at Tottenham Hotspur FC, delivering specialised training to facilitate smooth communication between the kitchen and coaching staff. We also provisioned the round-the-world record sailing attempt by Oman Sail, successfully planning to meet the team’s nutritional needs in demanding conditions. This included testing purpose made freeze dried survival meals in labs to confirm nutritional content, we want to make sure you’re getting your dietary needs properly met.
As a registered sports nutritionist, I have experience in a variety of sports on and off the water, team field sports and athletics. We have trained athletes, coaches and chefs in nutrition. This enables the athletes to gain optimum performance in their sport.
We have provisioned expeditions, including a sailing round the world record attempt and also advised sports teams travelling and competing in other countries. Each situation is very different and requires detailed planning and an understanding of the countries involved and also the sports.
The main source of nutrition for the round the world voyage was freeze dried food by necessity of the project. Freeze dried is light and may be eaten hot or cold by adding water. This makes it the ideal food where weight of the cargo is an issue, preparation of food needs to be minimal and physical exertion is in shifts.
From running taste testing sessions for the athletes to analysing the products in a laboratory to ascertain nutrition claims the athletes were given the best possible nutrition and a variety of products for their expeditions.
Leading a team of nutritionists to ensure the food on offer was nutritionally balanced and culturally appropriate for the 72 Commonwealth teams, a total of 4822 athletes. Working directly with the Birmingham Organising Committee for the 2022 Games.
This was a challenging and complex project involving 5 athlete villages, many chefs and the committee and suppliers. The analysis of the menus and recommendations provided proved this to be one of the most successful Commonwealth offering that many athletes had enjoyed.
We work closely with athletes, coaches, and chefs, providing one-on-one training and guidance. Together, we empower them with the knowledge and tools needed to optimise performance through effective nutrition.
