Sarah came to me looking to improve her performance on the pitch as well as in the gym. Her goals were to increase lean muscle mass whilst trimming her weight. At the time of the consultation she was recovering from a few injuries. Within the consultation it was highlighted that Sarah had some biological challenges that were preventing her from recovering and performing efficiently such as high levels of inflammation and over-reacting to certain foods. These food sensitivities were preventing her from absorbing nutrients effectively and therefor she wasn’t reaping the anti-inflammatory benefits of the good food she was eating.

For Sarah to achieve her targets it was imperative that we healed her gut. This way she would be able to absorb protein and nutrients from her diet leading to lower inflammation levels and quicker recovery times. This was achieved by removing the foods causing discomfort, including anti-inflammatory and gut healing foods and swapping After this point we increased and optimised her protein intake, adjusted her carbohydrate intake and ensured she was receiving a full spectrum of nutrients.

Not only did Sarah manage to hit her target weight but she also increased her output in the gym moving through the weights week by week.
