One-to-One Nutrition Consultations

If you have a specific health goal in mind, would like to optimise your plant-based nutrition for a specific sport/event, or would just like to find out more about what/how to eat well on a meat-free diet, booking a 1-1 consultation with me via Zoom or Skype can help you achieve this.

How it Works

Ahead of the consultation I’ll send you a short but detailed questionnaire - this will cover important information about your goals, health, current eating habits, preferences, and other relevant lifestyle factors. I can then assess this ahead of the session and start planning your nutrition advice. It also saves time during the consultation so we can cover as much of the important stuff as possible!

During the session, it’s often useful for me to start by asking some more questions to get a better understanding and delve a little deeper than the questionnaire. I might ask more about what you hope to achieve (and why), more specifics about your training schedule, your previous experiences with your nutrition, other important lifestyle influences, and about your relationship with food. Then, what we cover in the rest of the session is totally up to you, depending on what you hope to achieve! Topics clients often find most useful to cover include:

• Detailed strategies to optimise your nutrition to improve performance and recovery in your sport or activity (whether that’s power-lifting, ultra-distance running, or anything in between)

• Discussing the key nutrients when eating a plant-based diet for promoting health, energy, and to make sure you have all the important nutrients covered naturally through your diet where possible

• Ways to promote healthy, sustainable weight loss by making long-term eating habit and lifestyle changes that focus primarily on promoting health (physical and mental)

• Other lifestyle factors that are closely linked with nutrition and proven ways to improve these, such as stress management, promoting restorative sleep, and fun and practical ways you can incorporate more movement into the day

• And of course if there are any other topics or questions you’d like to cover, I’ll be more than happy to help!

** If you have specific health issues you’d like to address, please contact me first to discuss if working together would be beneficial, or whether another healthcare professional or dietitian would be more suitable, in which case I’d be happy to provide suggestions

Rather than me simply telling you what to do, we’'ll use a collaborative approach to come up with a plan of action together that best suits your lifestyle and goals. The recommendations I make are based on proven, evidence-based practise, tailored to you.

After the consultation, I’ll send through materials to recap and expand on what we discuss. This could include your sports nutrition strategies, a meal plan if that would help with your goals, further information on micro-nutrients, recipes to help with your goals, and references for further reading. I’ll also be available for email support should any questions come up along the way.

One consultation may be perfect for you, but some clients find it useful to book follow up calls. I recommend waiting at least one month between consultations, to allow enough time to adjust to any recommendations and notice results from the strategies we implement. Follow up sessions can be really useful to assess your progress and make any suitable adjustments, cover any other important topics, plan ways to overcome any obstacles you may have faced, and they provide an increased sense of accountability which can help no-end with motivation.

Recent clients include Premier League and international footballers, Premiership rugby players, Team GB Olympic and Paralympic athletes, CrossFit competitors, ultra-distance runners and cyclists, and competitive weight-lifters (males and females for most of these categories). However, you don’t have to be a professional athlete to work with me - I really love helping everyone reach their own health and fitness goals, no matter what they are!

Testimonials

Louis, Bedfordshire, UK:

Having battled with my weight since the age of 18, I’d tried numerous diets and fads (even hypnotherapy) over the last decade, all of which had no long-term success.

When I decided to become vegan, for both the health and ethical benefits, I was at a loss as to how to ensure I consumed the right amount of ‘stuff’ (I had no clue about micro and macronutrients) needed to stay healthy whilst also, hopefully, losing weight.

I saw TJ give a talk at a Vegan Festival and, seeing how he clearly knew his stuff, decided to give him a try. I figured that if it didn’t work, it was reasonably priced (significantly less than other programmes) and I’d spent more money on weight loss in the past with no results.

TJ’s guidance was truly personalised for me. Whilst he said what the average person should consume, taking my measurements into account he adjusted the calories/portions/grams accordingly. Even the meal plans were personalised - he asked for any foods I dislike and when I received the meal plans, voila; zero mushrooms! I was already impressed and couldn’t wait to get started.

Immediately I found that TJ had nailed it. The portions he was ‘prescribing’ filled me up, the correct balance of nutrients meant I had so much more energy than before, and my tastebuds were so happy. TJ’s recipes are delicious. All of them. Literally. He definitely needs to do publish. I found myself trying dishes I didn’t think I’d like, but wound up loving.

I’ve now lost 15lbs and, so far, it’s staying off. I still have a way to go, but with TJ’s delicious recipes and, most importantly, the correct nutritional intake guided by TJ, I know that this lifestyle will be easy, and even enjoyable, to stick to. Thank you TJ!

Stephen, Brighton, UK:

I've managed to put on lean muscle after having been stuck at the same level for months... thank you so much TJ! :)

Lara, British Columbia, Canada:

TJ really helped me relax my rigid restrictions and learn to trust myself to eat adequately. Before, when I was restricting and bingeing, I would only eat a protein bar for lunch at work and have no snacks. That practice was not enjoyable or satisfying. Now I look forward to a delicious, whole-foods lunch. Excellent self-care! I also no longer fear having an afternoon snack either. My mindset and self esteem is so much better, and in such a short time. I make good food choices because I desire to feel healthy and live a long time. The weight loss and aesthetics changes are nice side effects of course.

Sophie, California, USA:

You have genuinely changed my life. I have SO much more energy now - and I look and feel great!
