OUR COACHES:
Nutrition Coaching with Katie
KATIE'S BACKGROUND
MY ETHOS - As a running coach and nutritionist, I will always advocate a truly Natural Approach to training and nutrition. What this means in a practical sense:
- My nutrition advice and running programmes won't include unnecessary supplements, pre-workout recommendations, skinny teas or quick fix fad diets
- If your diet is deficient in something, we'll find the best solution for you in natural food sources, not tablet forms where your body misses out on the benefits of other vital vitamins and minerals from natural food.
- My training advice and programmes will be supported by the right natural sources of fuel not luminous liquids and insulin surging sugary bars for you to get the maximum out of your training sessions and optimal performance.
- Where relevant, training methods and techniques will be brought back to basics looking at the muscle activation paths used to perform specific functions and how we can safely increase resistance, impact, and speed without using unnecessary aids, quick fixes to achieve more within your bodies natural limits.
- I am open to all questions about performance-enhancing drugs and will provide a confidential unbiased, non-judgemental advice service to educate and assist explaining the physiological and mental impact of chemicals you won't get from the guy in the back of the gym and work with you on how to smash your performance goals the right way.
This means my advice is unbiased, free from industry sales recommendations and based on what is best for you as an individual / athlete.
KATIE'S ETHOS
AM I A PALEO, KETO, INTERMITTENT FASTING, (insert Wellknown diet here) COACH?
.... (the answer is no)
Put simply I'm a coach focused on personalised nutrition that is best for you, while there are many diets out there can yield positive results I believe that there is no one right diet for everyone as we all have so many genetic, environmental and lifestyle variables affecting our health and goals.
This is why I work with you to create a nutrition plan that works for you considering your current position through assessment, your goals, all of the factors impacting you whether that is part of your dna, or your occupation to make sure we create something that not only delivers results that are right for you but is enjoyable and sustainable.
I'm not here to create unrealistic, radical and unachievable methods and goals but direct you on a sustainable pathway that will actually work for you.
