Cutting Through the Noise: Why Working with a Qualified Nutritionist Makes Sense

There’s no shortage of nutrition advice online. One scroll through social media and you're hit with a wave of “must-try” superfoods, miracle supplements, and strict food rules that promise more energy, faster recovery, and better performance. It’s a lot to take in.
Whether you’re training for your first 10K, chasing a new PB, juggling marathon prep with work and family, or just want to feel better on your morning runs — chances are, you’ve wondered: "What should I actually eat?”
That’s the question I help people answer every day. And here’s the thing: there’s no single “right” answer — because nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s exactly why personalised support can make such a difference.
The Trouble With “Google Nutrition”
There’s plenty of nutrition advice out there. Some of it is rooted in solid science and genuinely helpful. But between influencers pushing products, conflicting headlines, and advice from well-meaning voices without relevant training, it’s hard to know what’s worth trusting. Even good advice isn’t always good for you.
One article swears by carbs for endurance. Another tells you to cut them. You’ll hear that fasted running boosts fat burning, but it can also risk muscle loss and slow recovery. (I talked about this very topic on The She Runs Strong Podcast by Coach Parry — it’s worth a listen if you're curious.)
It’s no surprise so many athletes feel stuck, second-guessing their choices or bouncing between approaches. And when you're already balancing work, training, and daily life, trying to figure it all out on your own can be overwhelming.
Why Work With a Sports Nutritionist?
As a registered nutritionist and endurance athlete, my role is to help you cut through the noise, translate the science, and create a realistic plan that supports your goals, your training, and your lifestyle.
Just like with your running or riding — consistency is key. And it’s much easier to stay consistent when you’re confident in what you’re doing and why.
Whether you’re constantly hungry from increased training, unsure how to fuel long runs or rides, chasing a performance goal, or simply want to feel better during your sessions, I’m here to help you get there with clarity and confidence.
When we work together, you’ll get:
Evidence-based advice — not trends or fads, just practical, personalised support that works
A plan that fits your life — aligned with your schedule, preferences, and training goals.
Less stress, more progress — no more second-guessing. Just simple steps that help you move forward.

What Might That Look Like?
For some athletes, it’s about building a simple, sustainable eating routine that fits seamlessly into the training week. For others, it might be about dialling in race-day nutrition to avoid hitting the wall at mile 20. You may already have the fundamentals in place and now you’re looking for that extra 1%, wanting to understand whether supplements can offer real, evidence-backed performance gains. Or perhaps you’re navigating gut issues on long runs, juggling training with family life, or trying to strike the right balance between health and performance.
Whatever your starting point or end goal, my role is to help make nutrition feel accessible, straightforward, and personalised - so it works for you.
You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
Here’s the Bottom Line: You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. You don’t have to overhaul your life to eat well. And you definitely don’t have to keep second-guessing your approach.
Working with a qualified sports nutritionist means having a trusted partner to help you perform at your best.
