Undoubtedly, Sports Nutrition can play a critical role in optimising athletic performance.
Ensuring that your nutrition matches your demands is critical. Optimal recovery is the foundation for optimal performance and nutrition is a significant contributor to how well you recover.
Why working with a Steve Grant Health Sports Nutritionist is different
At Steve Grant Health we approach optimising athletic performance by considering not just your nutrition. We take a Nutrition, Lifestyle and Functional Medicine approach with our athletes.
This means we uncover many stones, not just nutrition and supplementation. We consider your sleep, stressors, training demands and more. We also look at your symptoms and can run and interpret tests to uncover imbalances in your underlying physiology that may be holding you back from optimal performance and recovery.
Every athlete is different, bringing a different set of circumstances to the table, therefore the approach for optimal performance should be individualised too.
At Steve Grant Health, we offer a personalised, holistic, yet scientific approach to Sports Performance.
We have gone on to work with many athletes, these include medal winning athletes at international level, including members of the GB athletics team, cyclists, runners, boxers and MMA fighters, footballers, golfers, tennis players, fencers, CrossFit and Hyrox athletes and more.
Train harder and more consistently
Most athletes want to train harder to gain a competitive advantage. In fact, many coaches of athletes also believe that more is better.
Whilst improving your nutrition, lifestyle and underlying physiology is critical to allow you to do this, we also advise when to adapt your training demands based upon your current state of health.
We put in place appropriate sports nutrition principles for you to follow, guide you with what is required to do this and where appropriate, advice on appropriate nutritional supplements, giving you an edge over your competitors.
Our holistic approach to Sports Nutrition can prevent illness and over-training issues. Helping you maintain consistency and giving you confidence in areas such as immune function & hormone health. Ultimately this improves performance over time. It is a compound effect that comes with training consistently at the highest, yet most appropriate level.

What our Sports Nutritionists cover
Optimising body composition
Analyse and optimise your body composition. We offer incredibly accurate body composition testing when working with us.
Optimising Immune Health
Poor dietary habits, nutrient insufficiencies and poor training and lifestyle management can lead to immune insufficiency. We help to prevent this.
Balancing & Optimising Hormones
Hormones are crucial chemical messengers that can optimise recovery and maximise performance. We help you assess hormones, balance, and optimise them
Appropriate calorie, macronutrient, and micronutrient management
Your nutrition is dictated by your goals and your training demands. We review both in detail to help personalise your energy, macronutrient, and micronutrient intake.
Competition Nutrition
It’s competition day, have you prepared appropriately, what do you do on the day or after the event. We can help to create bespoke pre, during and post competition protocols.
Travel Nutrition and Lifestyle Considerations
Travel can make areas such as nutrition and sleep more challenging. We help you navigate the challenges of travelling to and competition in unfamiliar environments.
Nutritional Supplementation
Supplementation can play an important role in getting the edge. However, the variability in supplements in terms of dosage and quality makes this a minefield, not to mention avoiding banned substances or contaminated products. Let us do the leg work for you and be secure in what you are taking.

Sports Nutrition Coaching
Probably the most important aspect of our job. How we coach the required changes to help you improve. Food planning, education, behaviour coaching, motivation, goal setting and more.

Because of our nutrition, lifestyle, and functional medicine training. We are also able to support special population athletes. Whether you have underlying conditions like Inflammatory Bowel Disease, musculoskeletal injuries, or impairments we can take your unique circumstances and create something that supports both your health and performance. With improved health comes improved performance.

Eunice Hughart
My background in sport started when I was 7 years old when I joined an athletics club, which progressed to kickboxing in which I won European and British titles, on that platform I went on the win TV’s Gladiator game show and for the last 20 years I have been a Stunt Performer doubling many actresses including Angelina Jolie, progressing to Stunt Coordinator which involves creating and directing the action for the film.
I have never had a nutrition or weight problem throughout my life until I suffered injuries which restricted my training; the injuries came more and more and resulted in me being out of action for 6 years.
This had a knock on my life, and along with my long working hours, my energy levels suffered, my concentration and my psychological approach dwindled.
After one session with Steve Grant I became transformed, sounds cliché I know, but the tweaks he made to my diet and other aspects of my well-being improved me after 3 days. Now four months down the line with 2 maintenance appointments I am back to the weight I was when I was kickboxing, my energy levels are the same as when I was 25 years old and my brain is so alert, I feel like a new person.
I thought I knew all about nutrition but I was so wrong. If I knew Steve when I was at the peak of my fighting career I know I would have won that elusive world title I was always after.
I can guarantee one visit to Steve Grant and it will change your life.

I first met Steve Grant about 4.5 years ago after a long period in hospital. Steve helped me with the diet to get me back into the shape that I was before and to help me with the right choices of food.
Last year I started running in view of two half marathons and a marathon that I am doing this year (2018). I contacted Steve to help me with a diet plan in preparation for these three events and because I did not want to lose muscle with the amount of cardio I started doing.
For someone like me who doesn’t really like to spend much time looking at calories and grams, Steve devised a plan that is intuitive and based on a visual idea of quantities to follow.

It is difficult for me to articulate the impact Steve Grant has had on my life. He has single-handedly transformed my relationship with food and altered my opinion, and truly the reality, of what my body is capable of. Steve has this beautiful nature of explaining the science behind his methodology while staying both personable and positive.
As a stunt performer and actress, body and mind are key components to success- Steve makes nutrition plans that aid both, ensuring strength and mental sharpness. Working with Steve was the best decision I’ve ever made and I cannot imagine my life, or career, without his everlasting guidance. I am eternally grateful.
