Hi, I'm TJ.
I'm a Registered Nutritionist (RNutr), SENr-accredited sports nutritionist, author, and science communicator with one simple goal:
To make healthy, plant-rich eating feel simpler, more enjoyable and easier to sustain.
Every day we're bombarded with conflicting nutrition advice. One person tells us to avoid carbohydrates. Another says seed oils are toxic. Someone else insists we all need to eat like our ancestors.
The reality is that when you step back and look at the totality of the scientific evidence, healthy eating is remarkably consistent (and in most cases, simple!).
That's what I try to share through my work: practical, evidence-based advice that helps people spend less time worrying about nutrition and more time simply enjoying good food.
My background
I hold a Master's degree in Clinical and Public Health Nutrition from University College London (UCL) and I'm a Registered Nutritionist (RNutr) with the Association for Nutrition, as well as being accredited with the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register (SENr).
Over the past decade I've worked across public health, elite sport, scientific research and nutrition communication.
Today my work includes:
Director of Nutrition for The Game Changers
Advisory Board member at FoodFacts.org
Nutrition consultant to food companies and charities
Some one-to-one coaching for athletes and active individuals
Speaking at conferences and corporate events
Writing evidence-based nutrition articles and educational resources
I'm also the author of The Plant-Based Power Plan, published by Penguin Life.
Throughout all of this, my mission remains the same: translating nutrition science into advice that's practical enough to use in everyday life.
My philosophy
People often assume nutrition is complicated.
I don't think it has to be.
Most of the benefits come from consistently getting the fundamentals right – not chasing the latest superfood or worrying about tiny details that make very little difference.
The research is remarkably clear that diets centred around minimally processed plant foods are associated with better health for both people and the planet.
That doesn't mean perfection, or fear, and it certainly doesn't mean giving up foods you enjoy.
It means building habits that are enjoyable enough to stick with for years.
That's the philosophy behind everything I write, every recipe I develop and every client I work with.
Away from nutrition...
When I'm not reading research papers or writing about nutrition, you'll usually find me doing something active.
I love challenging myself across different sports and regularly compete in triathlons and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitions, alongside some strength training and a variety of other sports.
And above all I’m a devoted husband and father of two beautiful young children.
Family life reminds me every day that healthy eating has to work in the real world. Most people don't have hours to spend preparing meals or analysing nutrition labels. That's why I'm such a believer in keeping things simple.
I also genuinely love cooking. I’ve worked as a chef and have taught culinary techniques at a renowned plant-based cookery school to other trained chefs on their diploma programs. One of my favourite things is creating meals that people are surprised are both nutritious and genuinely delicious.
Thanks for stopping by
Whether you've arrived here looking for recipes, evidence-based nutrition advice, sports nutrition support or simply a little inspiration to eat more plants, I hope you'll find something that helps.
Thanks for being here.
TJ
