About Payal Shah

Professional background and approach
A mother, a scientist, a Certified Sports Nutritionist, and a sports enthusiast — the perfect combination for a sports nutritionist you can trust. I’ve turned my passion for science and nutrition into a career that spans over 15 years of combined research experience and nutrition counseling. My work with international and national athletes has given me deep insights into optimizing nutrition for peak performance, recovery, and long-term health. Whether you're a professional athlete, an aspiring sports star, or someone with an active lifestyle, I bring expert knowledge and personalized strategies to help you achieve your goals and perform at your absolute best.

How I work
Nutrition support is delivered through structured 3, 6, and 12-month programmes rather than one-time consultations. This approach allows nutrition strategies to evolve alongside training load, competition schedules, growth, recovery, and long-term development needs. I prioritise clarity, consistency, and sustainable progress over short-term fixes or trends.
Professional collaborations
Where appropriate, I collaborate with trusted healthcare and performance professionals to support athletes whose needs extend beyond the scope of sports nutrition alone.
Collaborations are recommended only when relevant to the athlete’s goals or health context. Any services provided by collaborating professionals are independent of my nutrition programmes and may involve additional fees, which are discussed transparently before proceeding.
