Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How are nutrition needs different for athletes?
Athletes place higher physical demands on their bodies compared to non-athletes. Nutrition needs vary based on sport, training intensity, competition schedules, and recovery requirements.
Sports nutrition focuses on fuelling performance, supporting recovery, and adapting intake as demands change — rather than general healthy eating alone.
Q. How do your programmes work?
Nutrition support is delivered through structured 3, 6, or 12-month programmes, rather than one-time consultations. This allows nutrition strategies to evolve alongside training demands, competition schedules, recovery needs, and long-term athlete development.
Phase 1: Pre-onboarding
A detailed questionnaire is used to understand current food habits, training schedules, competition demands, lifestyle routines, and challenges. This helps establish context before the first consultation.
Phase 2: Ongoing programme support
The programme begins with a comprehensive 60–90 minute consultation to establish nutrition strategies aligned with the athlete’s sport, training load, cultural preferences, and daily routine.
Support during the programme includes:
Regular check-ins and progress reviews
Scheduled follow-up calls
Ongoing guidance via WhatsApp or email (within defined boundaries)
Nutrition strategies and meal frameworks are reviewed and adjusted as training intensity, recovery needs, or goals change.
Phase 3: Programme wrap-up
At the end of the programme, a structured summary and practical guidelines are provided to support continued application beyond the programme duration.
Q. Do you offer one-time consultations?
No. Nutrition support is provided only through structured programmes. Ongoing support allows nutrition strategies to adapt over time, rather than relying on a single session or fixed recommendations.
Q. Who are your programmes suitable for?
Programmes are suitable for:
Competitive athletes
Youth and adolescent athletes
Parents supporting young athletes
Athletes preparing for tournaments or long training seasons
Athletes returning from injury or managing performance-related challenges
Q. Is this only about meal plans?
No. Meal planning is used as a tool, not the focus. The emphasis is on ongoing nutrition support, education, and adjustments based on training demands, recovery, and performance goals — rather than a static diet plan.
Q. Will I need to follow a strict or restrictive diet?
No. Nutrition guidance is designed to be practical, flexible, and sustainable. The focus is on consistency and progression, not perfection or extreme restrictions.
Q. Do you collaborate with other professionals?
Where appropriate, collaboration with other healthcare or performance professionals may be recommended to support needs beyond the scope of sports nutrition alone. Any additional services are discussed transparently and may involve separate fees.
