Evidence-based nutrition for health, performance and longevity.
Helping athletes, busy professionals and families cut through nutrition misinformation and build healthier, stronger lives through practical, science-based advice.
TJ Waterfall
I'm a Registered Nutritionist (RNutr) and SENr-accredited sports nutritionist specialising in plant-based nutrition and athletic performance. For over a decade I've helped everyone from recreational runners and busy parents to elite athletes improve their health, recovery and performance through evidence-based nutrition.
I'm Director of Nutrition at The Game Changers and an Advisory Board member at FoodFacts.org, where I help tackle nutrition misinformation and translate complex scientific research into practical, evidence-based advice that people can actually use in everyday life.
I'm also the author of The Plant-Based Power Plan, published by Penguin Life. The book combines the latest research in sports nutrition with practical strategies to help people improve their health, recovery and performance on a plant-based diet, and has helped thousands of readers make the transition with confidence.
Above all, I'm passionate about helping people discover that healthy food can be simple, satisfying and genuinely delicious — and that thriving on a plant-based or plant-rich diet is not only possible, but enjoyable too.

WORK WITH ME
Whether writing articles for publications like Men’s Fitness magazine, or speaking about plant-based nutrition at events or on media, the goal is to help everyone from world-class athletes to the general public to optimise their nutrition and performance. For anyone who wants to work on their nutrition directly with me, I also have limited availability for 1-1 nutrition consultations held via Zoom or Skype.
NUTRITION ARTICLES
A balanced vegan or vegetarian diet can be one of the healthiest ways to live. Yet there's still so much controversy surrounding vegan and vegetarian nutrition. Here, I use the latest science-based evidence to provide you with the best advice on some of the most hotly debated and confusing topics to do with plant-based nutrition.
VEGAN Recipes
Vegan food is anything but boring. Some of the world's most famous cuisines are vegan, and it's possible to make meat-free versions of an enormous variety of dishes. They can be colourful, varied, extremely healthy, packed with protein, and of course, ridiculously delicious!
