Sports Nutritionist in London

Sports nutrition can play a critical role in optimising athletic performance. It is the science of using food and drink to fuel your body for optimal athletic performance and recovery. It goes beyond just counting calories and focuses on providing the right nutrients to support your training, competition, and overall well-being.

A sports nutritionist can help you create a personalised plan that considers factors like your specific sport, training intensity, and recovery needs.

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.

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 worked 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.

Many of the athletes we work with are the weekend warrior types. Those holding down busy personal and professional lives but still looking to maximise performance in their given sport.

Working with this population fits our holistic approach as we have to take into account broader influencing factors on recovery, training load, time and food prep restrictions and more.

We are proud to have worked with a wide array of clients in many different sports. Offering personalised care that fits into your daily demands!

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.

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.

Without a doubt. We have worked in the past alongside strength and conditioning or sports specific coaches as well. We are happy to take instruction from you and your team as well as feedback to them our recommendations and anything that might impact the programs and guidance they are giving you.

We are here to support you directly and as part of your overall team!

We see a lot of clients with lifestyles that often put their nutrition choices and their overall health lower down on their list of priorities.

Through our clinical experience and training as nutritionists we focus on establishing clear goals, motivating positive changes, and providing ongoing contact with our ongoing consultation and support packages, accountability, and professional guidance.

Our goal is to find the right way that works for you so that you can achieve your goals. To do that we have to be knowledgeable enough to know what the right path is to take, but equally know how to communicate in a way that motivates and supports change.

Our Sports Nutritionists are based in Marylebone, Central London and are available for online consultations as well. Many of our clients choose to work with us in a Hybrid fashion, with some sessions in person and some online.

We aim to offer ultimate flexibility without losing any of the personal experience working in-clinic can bring.
