MY ETHOS
As a coach and nutritionist, I will always advocate a truly Natural Approach to training and nutrition. What this means in a practical sense:
- My nutrition advice, plans, and programmes won't include unnecessary supplements, pre-workout recommendations, skinny teas or quick fix fad diets
- If your diet is deficient in something, we'll find the best solution for you in natural food sources, not tablet forms where your body misses out on the benefits of other vital vitamins and minerals from natural food.
- My training advice and programmes will be supported by the right natural sources of fuel not luminous liquids and insulin surging sugary bars for you to get the maximum out of your training sessions and optimal performance.
- Where relevant, training methods and techniques will be brought back to basics looking at the muscle activation paths used to perform specific functions and how we can safely increase resistance, impact, and speed without using unnecessary aids, quick fixes to achieve more within your bodies natural limits.
- I am open to all questions about performance-enhancing drugs and will provide confidential unbiased, non-judgemental advice to educate and assist explaining the physiological and mental impact of chemicals you won't get from the guy in the back of the gym and work with you on how to smash your performance goals the right way.
This means my advice is unbiased, free from industry sales recommendations and based on what is best for you as an individual / athlete.
