"Danny has been great in helping me achieve my nutrition goals. This has resulted in more consistency and ability to maintain healthy food choices and finally see the results I wanted, despite having a very busy and hectic work schedule. The weekly deep dive check-ins help identify trends and patterns in behaviour and habits which has meant I can look out for these tripwires to prevent future problems occurring. Thanks Danny & Vanessa for providing great support."

"I've been working with Nutrion for over two years now and I don't have a single bad word to say! They have always been super kind and responsive and have most importantly helped me with both weight loss and weight gain over the last two years depending on my goals. I've noticed way less stress and anxiety when it comes to my nutrition, I can just trust that they've got it handled."

"I can't thank Daniel and Vanessa enough. I used their expertise to prepare myself for a pretty big competition and it couldn't have gone any better! Their knowledge and support is unmatched, because of them I didn't need to worry about "my weight" but could focus on getting better and stronger. I can't recommend to work with them enough! 💞"

Performance Fuel: Black Belt Approved

Skipping training sessions because your energy is depleted? Struggling to make weight without sacrificing your strength? Competing at 70% of your potential because of preparation mistakes?

I know these challenges firsthand. As a professional BJJ athlete, I struggled with my own nutrition until generic advice from non-specialized nutritionists led me to pursue a Nutrition Science degree while still competing.

Now, I combine nutrition science with 12+ years of BJJ experience to create strategies that actually work for the unique demands of our sport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common questions about our nutrition coaching services. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us!

What makes Nutrion different from other nutrition programs? +

Nutrion is specifically designed for BJJ athletes, with nutrition plans that work around your training schedule. Your coach is both a nutritionist and an active BJJ black belt who understands the unique demands of the sport from first-hand experience. This dual expertise allows for truly personalized guidance that generic nutrition programs simply can't offer.

I have a busy life and no established routine. Will this program work for me? +

Absolutely! We specifically design our nutrition plans around your existing schedule and preferences. The program adapts to your life, not the other way around, making it ideal for busy athletes. Our approach focuses on practical, sustainable strategies that fit into your lifestyle, rather than rigid meal plans that require complete lifestyle changes.

Can your program help me with weight management for competitions? +

Yes, weight management for competition is one of our specialties. Whether you're looking to cut weight, maintain, or gain muscle, our personalized approach creates sustainable plans tailored to your specific competition schedule. We provide strategies that help you reach your target weight while maintaining strength and energy for optimal performance on competition day.

What if I have dietary restrictions or allergies? +

We work with all types of dietary restrictions and preferences, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and other allergy-specific needs. Your nutrition plan will be fully customized to accommodate your unique requirements while ensuring you get all the nutrients needed for optimal BJJ performance and recovery.

How long does it take to see results? +

Most clients start seeing noticeable changes in energy levels and recovery within the first 2 weeks. For body composition changes, you can typically expect visible results within 4-6 weeks of consistent implementation. Competition weight management timelines are discussed individually based on your specific goals and starting point.

Do I need to track calories or macros every day? +

Not necessarily. While we do use calorie and macro tracking as a tool when needed, our focus is on developing sustainable habits rather than creating dependency on tracking apps. Some clients benefit from tracking initially before transitioning to more intuitive approaches, while others may never need to track. We personalize the approach based on your preferences and what works best for your lifestyle.
