Sports Dietitian (APD) | Founder
Chanise is either doing 1 of 2 things during the day… she’s helping athletes fuel correctly, or is training Olympic Weightlifting. She loves working with athletes, because she can empathise and connect with the emotional and physical challenges of what it means to be an athlete. No matter the sport or the individual goal, her focus is on always helping athlete to not only optimise their performance but their health in the long term.
Sports Dietitian (APD)
Karly, a competitive national powerlifter, who obviously loves lifting heavy stuff on the daily.. but also finds joy in helping athletes overcome long term under fuelling and the complications that come with it. She works in depth with athletes to improve their relationship and understanding of food, and matches their fuelling to their training demands which allows them to finally reach their athletic potential.
Sports Dietitian (APD)
Mikala, an Olympic weightlifter and all-round sports lover, loves throwing heavy things overhead… while somehow also finding herself saying yes to bike and swim sessions. Triathlon incoming?
She’s passionate about helping athletes fuel for performance, long-term health and wellbeing - and has just started her PhD investigating energy requirements, body composition and nutrition intake in sprint cycling athletes across a season.

Our Coaching Method at Work
See real case studies of athletes who experienced our coaching..
At 43 years old, this female open-water swimmer regularly competes in marathon events of 10km and beyond, aiming to perform at her best in upcoming major competitions. She initially struggled with restrictive diets that failed to account for hormonal changes, leading to weight plateaus and declining energy levels. With a demanding training schedule, she needed a more balanced approach.
By adjusting her macronutrient intake, reducing her evening protein portion from 300g to 200g of food, and implementing a structured race-day fuelling plan using Endura gels, she surpassed her target pace and secured third place in her latest 10km event. Post-race inflammation settled quickly, and her daily energy improved significantly. Simplifying meal preparation and selecting quick, nutrient-dense foods helped her stay consistent.
These tailored interventions have optimised her fuelling, enhanced recovery, and built her confidence. As she prepares for future competitions, this refined strategy continues to support her endurance, weight management, and long-term performance goals.
At 28 years old, this male boxer competes in frequent fights and multi-day tournaments, requiring precise weight management while maintaining peak energy levels. Previously, his fight-week nutrition left him drained, struggling with energy crashes, binge-eating post-fight, and inconsistent weight fluctuations due to extreme water loading and restrictive dieting.
By refining his nutrition strategy, he introduced structured meal timing, a balanced approach to fight-week fuelling, and better hydration management. In his latest fight, he felt the best he ever had on fight night, with improved energy two days prior. While he didn’t win, his recovery was smooth, and he returned to training immediately. Adjustments to carbohydrate intake and post-weigh-in meals helped stabilise performance, though fine-tuning is ongoing.
Looking ahead, with a series of fights planned, his nutrition plan continues to evolve. The focus remains on maintaining energy, optimising recovery, and ensuring a sustainable approach to weight-making without excessive restriction or post-fight rebound.
At 26 years old, this female Olympic weightlifter competed in the Paris 2024 Olympics, refining her nutrition strategy in the lead-up to optimise energy, recovery, and performance. Previously, she struggled with inconsistent fuelling, fatigue, and limited food variety due to texture-related aversions. This often led to low energy levels during training and uncertainty around competition-day nutrition.
In preparation for Paris, we focused on structured meal timing, gradual exposure to new foods, and improved protein intake to support muscle recovery. Adjustments to carbohydrate intake and hydration strategies helped stabilise her energy levels, particularly around training and competition days. She also implemented a more flexible approach to food choices, allowing her to maintain consistency while travelling and adapting to the Olympic Village environment.
On competition day, she felt strong, energised, and well-fuelled—free from the fatigue and anxiety that previously impacted her performance. By building sustainable nutrition habits throughout her Olympic prep, she maximised her output on the platform.
At 23 years old, this semi-professional footballer was struggling to maintain energy levels, sustain weight during the season, and prevent recurring injuries. Despite eating mostly whole foods and making efforts to fuel properly, he frequently experienced mid-game energy crashes, muscle cramps, and weight fluctuations—dropping as low as 67kg in-season after building up to 71-72kg in the off-season.
By implementing a structured fuelling plan, including pre-training carbohydrates and more consistent meal timing, he saw immediate improvements in both energy levels and performance. Within days, he noticed he no longer experienced the same exhaustion during work and training. Increased carbohydrate intake before sessions helped him push harder on the pitch and recover more effectively, while optimised hydration strategies reduced post-game cramping.
With these adjustments, he feels stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to handle the demands of training and competition. As he works toward progressing to higher levels in his sport, his refined nutrition plan continues to support his performance, injury prevention, and long-term development.
At 29 years old, this competitive CrossFit athlete sought a structured nutrition plan to optimise recovery, maintain strength, and ensure she was adequately fueled for competition. Having previously followed group coaching, she found it lacked the individualised education and accountability she needed.
With a demanding training schedule and international competition commitments, her primary focus was performance—maximising strength gains in the off-season while maintaining energy levels through high-volume training blocks.
Leading into the CrossFit quarter-finals, adjustments were made to increase carbohydrate intake, improve meal consistency, and refine her supplement strategy. Despite not prioritising strength development at this stage, she saw noticeable improvements in her lifts and overall performance, ranking in the top 70-100 across multiple events. She also successfully fuelled through an intense competition weekend without digestive distress—an issue she had faced in the past.
Now preparing for potential semi-finals and long-term international competition, her nutrition plan continues to support her training adaptations, ensuring sustained energy, enhanced recovery, and steady performance progression. By maintaining structured fuelling, she remains confident in her ability to peak when it matters most.

Your FAQs Answered
Everything you need to get through your season with confidence. You get a personalised performance nutrition plan, an onboarding 1v1 call and a monthly 1v1 consult with your Dietitian.
Between those calls, you can message your Dietitian Monday to Friday, complete fortnightly check-ins and join four weekly team calls.
You also get recipes and grocery lists, our athlete nutrition course and access to the athlete community, so you're supported from every angle.
First, you complete an assessment form covering your goals, training, competition date, current diet, supplements and health history. Take your time with it, because it helps us understand exactly where you're at.
Then you book a 1v1 onboarding video call with your Dietitian within 3 business days. They'll walk you through your plan, show you how to use the app and answer anything you're unsure about.
From there, you're never on your own. You'll know who to message and what to do each week.
After your assessment, we match you with the Sports Dietitian best suited to your sport, your goals and your season.
You'll meet them on your onboarding call, and they'll be the one looking after your plan, your messages and your monthly consults from then on.
You'll also get to know the rest of our team on the weekly team calls, so you always have support from people who know you.
Yes. Your plan is built around the food you already eat and enjoy, so there are no drastic changes to get used to in the middle of your season.
It covers your calories, macros, supplements and meal timing around your training and your competition.
We only change a food if we think it's holding back your health or your performance, and we'll always explain why.
As often as you need. Your body, your training and your schedule will change across your season, and your plan changes with them.
Message your Dietitian Monday to Friday and they'll update your plan and explain what's changed and why.
Your fortnightly check-ins also show your Dietitian how your body is responding, so small problems get picked up early.
Plenty. You can message your Dietitian Monday to Friday through the app whenever something comes up, big or small.
You also have a 1v1 video consult every month to review your progress in detail and plan what's next.
And with four weekly team calls on top of that, there's always someone to talk to when things get hard.
They're group video calls with our Sports Dietitians. You can bring your questions, hear what's working for other athletes and stay accountable.
There are four each week and you can join as many as you like. A lot of athletes tell us these calls are what keep them on track during the toughest weeks.
Yes. Your coach looks after your training, and we build your nutrition around it, matched to your hard days, light days and rest days.
We're here to support the work you're already doing, so your coaching and your nutrition pull in the same direction.
Yes it is. We work with plenty of teenage athletes, and good nutrition habits built early can make a big difference to how they grow, train and perform.
For anyone under 18, we need consent from a parent or guardian before coaching starts.
Parents are always welcome to join consultations, ask questions and stay involved, so the whole family knows how to support their training.
Yes, all of it. Your plan, messaging and check-ins are all in the app, and every call is by video.
That means it works wherever you train, and you can reach your Dietitian without fitting appointments around your sessions.
Toward the end of your 12 weeks, you and your Dietitian sit down together and look at how far you've come. From there, you choose the option that suits you best.
Option one, keep going with us. We reassess your goals and build a roadmap for your next competitions and the season ahead. You continue with the same coaching, check-ins and support, with no lock-in contract. If you ever want to stop, just give us two weeks' notice.
Option two, continue on your own. We finalise your meal plans, your tools and a clear roadmap, so you can keep making progress by yourself. You'll know what to eat around training, how to adjust as things change and how to prepare for your next competition.
Either way, you won't be left guessing. And if you head off on your own and want support again later, you're always welcome back.
You may be able to. If your extras cover includes dietetics, you can usually claim our consults through your private health fund, because they're with a registered Dietitian.
How much you get back depends on your fund and your level of cover, so it's worth calling your fund before you start. Ask whether dietetics is included in your extras and how much is left in your limit for the year.
If you have a care plan from your GP, you may also be eligible for a Medicare rebate on some consults.
Let us know on your assessment form and we'll give you everything you need to make your claim. Rebates are up to your fund or Medicare, so we can't guarantee one, but we'll help you get the most out of your cover.
That's completely fine. Book a free nutrition review and have a chat with our team about your next competition.
We'll talk through where you're at and whether coaching is the right fit for you, with no pressure and no obligation.
