Nutrition

I have always been interested in the dynamic that nutrition plays in athletic endeavours. As a climber, it took me a while to realise that only though effective training AND nutrition was it possible to really maximise adaptation and to find out where physical limits lie.

Over the years I have worked with Performance Dietitian Rebecca Dent on my own nutrition and it was through this work I was able to understand, from the athlete perspective, how different foods and nutritional strategies could help me to get the most out of my body.

In 2017 I decided I wanted to learn more…on Rebecca’s recommendation I enrolled in MacNutrition Universal, an evidence-based nutrition course run by Martin MacDonald and his excellent team of staff.

Fast forward to 2019 and I have qualified as an MNU Certified Nutritionist.

The course was fascinating, challenging and inspiring. I loved every minute and I am really excited to continue to learn more as I work with people to help them maximise their nutrition.

If you want to learn more about how changes to your nutrition could help you, please feel free to get in touch. I offer a variety of services from one-off nutrition coaching sessions, short term individualised plans and longer term support.

“During the consultation we discussed the best ways of fuelling for long days at the crag as well as advice around what to eat before and after training to speed up recovery and maximise performance. The suggestions that Mina gave were completely tailored to my goals and lifestyle and were also really easy to implement. I’m already starting to see the benefits. Thank you Mina!”

“Despite thinking I already had a good handle on my nutrition and was used to tracking my calories and macros, Mina gave me great new insights and an extremely well thought out plan for my nutrition to prepare me for a peak phase as a climber. Most importantly it worked really well for me and along the way I picked up some invaluable knowledge and strategies for handling my nutrition more effectively around my training and peak performance. She’s also an absolute pleasure to work with and super encouraging!!”
