As we are quite literally what we eat, nutrition has a fundamental impact on whether – and how effectively – we reach our full performance potential. I am fascinated by the complex interplay of training stimulus, genetics, physiology, nutrition and other performance focused strategies on an athlete’s recovery, adaptation and performance. And how we can capitalize on that to develop and maintain a robust athlete, who is able to maximise their health and performance potential over the short and long term.

As a registered sports nutritionist (SENr), I provide nutrition and physiology support and education to recreational and elite athletes in one to one and group settings. Athletes I have supported include Team GB Olympic weightlifters, World Title BJJ athletes, and British Title boxers.

My research interests focus on the physiology and metabolism of weight making sports, as well as investigating nutrition related behaviours with the aim of informing effective nutrition support frameworks.
