Performance nutrition for everyday to elite athletes

Evidence-based & quality tested sports nutrition strategies

I have always loved fitness and performance, so I naturally found a passion in supporting athletes to optimise their performance. I myself, spend most of my free time training for functional fitness/CrossFit competitions and running events. I compete mostly for fun, to socialise and because it gives my training more purpose and encourages me to keep progressing in my own performance. As an Accredited Sports Dietitian, training and competing allows me to put evidence into practice to gain an understanding of the practical applications of sports nutrition research from the athlete perspective. This is an essential component that informs my practice to ensure the advice I provide is both evidence-based and practical.

My favourite thing about being a sports dietitian is seeing people shift from a dieting mindset with body aesthetic goals to a fuelling mindset with a strong focus on performance. It's a powerful, life-changing shift and I want to support as many people as I can to get there. I aim to achieve this though my social media content, individual client sessions and the work I do with other sporting and fitness businesses.

Optimise your training & smash your performance goals

Nutrition is the key that unlocks the intended adaptations from your training regimen. In other words, your training is not going to be effective if you’re not prioritising your nutrition strategies equally. Nutrition is also crucial to maintain overall health status including gut function, heart health, injury and illness prevention, mental state, social and emotional wellbeing, reproductive hormone function, bone health and fatigue/burnout prevention.

The nutrition strategies you implement will vary depending on your training regimen, goals, routine, medical needs, clinical symptoms and nutrition status. This can also change day-to-day depending on the type, duration, intensity and intended outcome of each session.

Below are some of the outcomes we can achieve together:

  • Improve body image and relationship with food

  • Identify and reverse Low Energy Availability and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport

  • Regain regular menstrual cycle after amenorrhea

  • Gain muscle mass & strength

  • Improve performance (endurance, speed, power & cognition)

  • Safe and efficient acute weight cuts for weight category sports

  • Develop personalised supplement regimen

  • Eliminate or reduce gut symptoms and digestive concerns

  • Prevent & manage chronic disease

  • Optimise nutrition status on a plant-based diet

  • Correct nutrient deficiencies

  • Reduce recurring injury and illness

  • Improve energy levels in and out of training

  • During my first triathlon, I struggled and even vomited mid-event. After working with Zoe, my second triathlon was a completely different experience—I had no issues at all! She not only guided me on nutrition for sports but also helped me address an eating disorder. I highly recommend Zoe for all things food-related—her expertise and support made a world of difference!

  • Zoe has a great depth of knowledge when it comes to sports nutrition and is exceptional at communicating it across to her clients. She doesn't just give you the "what" but also helps you understand the "why", which is super valuable to any one genuinely interested in improving their performance. Super friendly and easy to work with, I'd highly recommend her to any athletes or fitness enthusiasts.

  • For the longest time I had been just winging what I would eat and felt low on energy all the time as the foods I would eat weren't meeting my requirements. 1 week after eating the foods that Zoe recommended, I felt 1000% better and would get through my sessions with a lot more energy and was able to push a lot harder.

    Issaac

  • Her expertise and personalized approach played a crucial role in helping me prepare and cut weight for my fight. The guidance provided was not only effective but also practical, ensuring I maintained energy levels throughout training. Her unwavering support and attention to detail made a significant impact on my performance.

  • Zoe was awesome to work with. I have a history of bulimia, therefore was nervous to work with a dietician in case it triggered any unhealthy behaviours or mindsets. Zoe is both a sports and eating disorder dietician and therefore never once made me feel triggered or judged when it came to food. Zoe was always able to explain the science or reason behind the suggestions made. I would definitely work with Zoe again.

    Nadene

  • I saw zoe as I was getting lots of gut issues and my period wasn't returning after having children. I train 6x a week and I'm an active mum. Zoe kept everything super simple and addressed my concerns. Within a few weeks I was feeling like a different person, my recovery improved, my gut issues disappeared and after some consistency with strategic eating my periods came back. Zoe is approachable and doesn't complicate things. I'm able to push my body harder because I'm fueling my body better.
