NUTRITION FOR ENERGY LTD.

Fantastic experience: James has given me a great insight to my nutrition, particularly around my running schedule. Previously my protein intake and fuelling pre, during and post run was way off. This was limiting me to get the best performance each run. I have since learned so much from James and Nutrition for Energy, which I have implemented immediately. This has allowed me to now get the best out of my training and life lessons learned. Additionally I have added new and exciting foods to my diet enabling me to get the most from my training and increasing energy levels.

Fantastic experience: Just had a 30min zoom call with James. Wow! James really knows his stuff, as someone who is moving from a triathlon sporting background to CrossFit and someone who has an active job, James was able to tell me what to eat, when to eat it and how to eat it. Loved it and I’m excited to try it out and see the results. Thanks James This is a follow up review 10 weeks after. I’ve just finished James Performance Accelerator programme. AND IT WAS AWESOME! I have always had a strained relationship with food and my eating habits. Yo yoing from binging or finding something that worked for me and then only eating that thing. James has helped me and my family to eat to be happier and fitter. I have an active job and a very active life, doing lots of sport. Often I would feel washed out and lacking energy. I accepted this as the symptoms of being active, when in fact it was the result of under fuelling. James has helped me to understand when to eat, what to eat, how much to eat and encouraged me to really enjoy food again. I’ve achieved lots of things that would not have been possible without James’ help (what’s that you say, Hyrox world champs, yes please!) and I hope to achieve a lot more. Thank you James

Fantastic experience: James’s support was key to my performance on Turf Day. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and approachable, always open to answering questions and offering multiple options to help you stay at your best energy levels. I’d highly recommend Nutrition for Energy to anyone looking to better understand how to fuel their body in alignment with their daily needs.

Fantastic experience: It was an absolute pleasure working with James! I went in with the desire to get stronger for my life (without a specific goal) and to develop better nutritional habits as a female athlete. After ten weeks I’m feeling stronger, quicker to recover post-sports, more well-rounded in my nutrition and the most in-tune with my body than ever before. Massive thanks to James, I couldn’t be more grateful for this experience!

Positive experience: Really eye opening. James’ use of visuals really makes the relationship between fuel and exercise very obvious.

Fantastic experience: I came to James in January suffering with all the symptoms of anaemia. I had pulled out of Manchester Marathon ‘25 and really couldn’t see how I could in all seriousness keep on with my current training let alone attempt a marathon training block. In the 10 weeks I learnt so so much. How and when to fuel to support my training or any changes in my training. How my monthly cycle influences my diet and how to complement any changes. Hydration for pre race. I actually took part in Manchester Marathon just off of normal weekly training no specific training. What has changed dramatically is my confidence around fuelling. Thank you James it was a fun, challenging, eye opening 10 weeks

Fantastic experience: "teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" this says it all Elaine Simpson

Fantastic experience: I have just finished the Performance Accelerator course with James and I cannot praise it highly enough! A wealth of knowledge packaged in way that is digestible (excuse the pun) and easy to implement. I started the 10 week course in January and completed two of my running goals for the year before the course had finished! I look forward to seeing where everything I've learned takes me! Worth every penny, thank you James

Fantastic experience: James has a wealth of knowledge and is happy to share what is relevant to you, rather than just a generic "one script suits all" approach. Always punctual, professional and friendly. I had plateaued on my training progress, but now I am pushing forward again. Thanks James.

Fantastic experience: I'd been curious about nutrition for a long time and started looking at all of it myself. I love cooking and have been trying to eat healthy while working out 5 times a week and thought I was doing pretty good. That is until I did James' accelerator programme. I have learned so much in 10 weeks, implementing small changes 1 week at a time, and realising after all that time what it really mens to be nutrition confident. I have seen my energy levels soar even after increasing my training regimen. I have done my first CrossFit competition and absolutely smashed it with my nutrition. My numbers are consistently getting bigger and I can see the changes coming on my body too. I cannot recommend James enough if you want to be food confident. The best thing is, I can now apply all of James' teachings for the rest of my life! Thanks a million James !!

Fantastic experience: I had a very positive experience with James following the Performance accelerator program greatly improving my energy and overall knowledge on Nutrition!

Fantastic experience: I have just finished my Performance Accelerator Programme with James, and I'm so incredibly happy with the results he helped me achieve regarding my exercise performance, lifestyle, and body composition

Fantastic experience: I’ve experienced a massive improvement in my energy levels thanks to James. I particularly loved his coaching approach, which focused on building good habits through small, sustainable changes. These adjustments have had a significant impact on my overall nutrition and well-being. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I had a great time being coached by James. I learned a lot particularly about timing of meals, gut biome, carb and protein requirements and learned some great recipes along the way. I feel I have made long term changes to my nutrition habits and would recommend James to everyone!

Fantastic experience: James and Nutrition for Energy has been transformative in my journey with performance nutrition, particularly for my MMA training. His approach goes far beyond just giving meal plans - he's truly equipped me with the knowledge and tools to understand athletic fueling and recovery. What sets him apart is his exceptional teaching ability and attention to detail. He provided comprehensive Excel tools and guidelines that I continue to use independently, which has been invaluable for tracking and adjusting my nutrition. These resources have helped me maintain flexibility with my diet while adapting to the varying energy demands of different MMA training days. The focus on injury prevention through proper fueling has been game-changing. Since working with James, I've noticed a significant reduction in training-related injuries, which I attribute to his guidance on pre/post workout nutrition and recovery protocols. James took the time to understand my specific challenges with eating patterns and helped me identify my dietary triggers. He guided me in developing intentional thought processes around food, creating sustainable habits rather than just following rigid rules. His guidance on gut health has been particularly enlightening - incorporating probiotic-rich foods and diversifying my fruit and vegetable intake has notably improved my energy levels and mood stability. I especially appreciate how he tailored everything to fit my lifestyle, ensuring the nutrition plan could flex around my varying training schedule. The knowledge I've gained about fueling my body appropriately has been empowering, and I continue to use his methods and insights in my daily routine. This has been an investment in long-term health and performance that I would highly recommend to any athlete looking to optimise their nutrition while building sustainable habits.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Fantastic experience: James is a really great person to work with and fountain of knowledge on nutrition. I learned so much from working with him and he takes a really holistic approach. I don’t feel like I have to follow a strict diet because the 10 session approach means I have just learned better habits gradually. It has made a huge difference to my energy and success in endurance events.

Fantastic experience: James has been fantastic. I've always lacked the understanding of how to refuel and recover properly when it comes to my diet. I now feel completely equipped with this knowledge. He's also incredibly flexible when it comes to changing slots around unexpected life events!

Fantastic experience: James is amazing and really knowledgeable. Really takes on board your experiences and tailors the advice to you. Can’t recommend enough if you are looking for any sort of nutrition advice. I’ve gone from having no clue to feeling better than ever with my training and in general every day life!

Fantastic experience: I had the opportunity to work with James over a few months, digging into my approach to nutrition, specifically as it related to my energy levels. Right from the start I found James has a great balance of support, challenge, experience and knowledge in the way he work. My health and energy levels have benefitted enormously from the period spent working with James and I'd recommend him to anyone wanting to better understand how to fuel themselves with the right food at the right time.

Fantastic experience: James, has helped me learn how to properly eat to fuel both my training/races and most importantly my recovery from races etc. He has shown me how to get a true proper understanding of food in a way that is not restrictive to any food types. I have learned what food s have helped me get my body feeling the best. I would highly recommend James to anyone who wants to get a true understanding of nutrition. It was a pleasure working with James

Fantastic experience: Very pleased with the outcome. Hit my goals and I know what to do for future events. Very professional and time-keeping was excellent.

Fantastic experience: The Performance Accelerator Programme has been instrumental in my current achievements and future pursuits in Ultra marathon running. It has been a vital element to both my personal and athletic development. This program has equipped me with the necessary tools to consistently elevate my training and performance in races. James, as a coach, is truly exceptional, his patience and enthusiasm for nutrition and its application to performance is second best to none. If you are seeking to optimize your performance, validate your knowledge or transform your relationship with nutrition, the Performance Accelerator Programme is the ideal choice. Through James’s guidance and the program, my approach to training and running has undergone a significant transformation. I am excited to continue to work with James in the coming months as I pursue my Ultra marathon journey.

Fantastic experience: I loved that the sessions lasted almost 5 months - it gave me space to build new healthy habits, no rush, no pressure. I learnt a few cool food prep tricks, but most of all I now have a new mental relationship with food and cravings. James is amazing - knowledgeable, positive, inventive, patient.

Fantastic experience: Signing up to the Performance Accelerator coaching program is one of the best things I could have done. Not only have I learnt so much from James who has been a fantastic guide on this journey but spending time not just looking at how to improve my energy levels for training/racing but also (and more importantly) for day to day life. I came into this process desperately looking to feel better in myself day to day as well and recalibrate my relationship with food and exercise. This course has certainly done all that and more and I am feeling more energised and satisfied with my nutrition than I ever have. Can’t thank you enough James!

Fantastic experience: I came to James with an understanding that my nutrition was a long term health goal that needed more focus but my lack of knowledge and the amount of misleading info that you find made it all difficult. The way in which James gives out correct information really worked for me. I wanted to try different ingredients and thought about food from a nutrition/energy point of view all because of the way James gets you to think. Because of this new understanding and learning to fuel correctly, my running became easier aswell as other sports. This knowledge will stay with me and shows that I don't have to be on a diet which is great.

Fantastic experience: Could not speak more highly about James’ service. Great to have an initial intro session to confirm sport nutrition goals beforehand, and James customised the entire plan to my usual food/fuel patterns! Worked amazing and helped me complete my first Ironman without even the slightest sniff of cramp (where previously I’ve cramped every marathon I’ve done). Can’t thank James enough, race day would not have gone as smoothly without his support.

Fantastic experience: My name is Alan McMenemy and I am a Personal Trainer based in Greenock, Scotland. I reached out to James at Nutrition For Energy in the hope in helping me prepare for a few endurance events I had coming up. James's knowledge and support helped me learn things about my nutrition in terms of fuelling for long events and recovery. I also learned things about myself along this journey. Something I am extremely proud about. My sleep is better, performance in my training has gone up and my recovery has also improved too. This is down to James's support and guidance. I highly recommend James as a coach. He has helped me immensely and can help you too. Alan.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed working with James he is very supportive and definitely changed my outlook on food and nutrition for life.

Fantastic experience: Working with James has been the single biggest thing I have done to improve my health and athletic performance. With consistent small change over four months my energy levels improved, I recovered from training faster and felt all round healthier day to day. With his guidance I was also able to build my knowledge around healthy eating and nutrition in a way I can take with me for life. From an athletic point of view I learned the skills to manage my hydration and fueling for endurance races and trained my gut to take on food whilst running; the proof of improvement is in the numbers. In 2022 before working with James I did a 55km mountain ultra with an average speed of 12:56 mins per kilometer. In May 2024 I did a 45km mountain race at a speed of 9:02 mins per kilometer. Ultimately James was instrumental in achieving my racing goal and completing the 2023 Grossglockner Ultra Trail around the mountains of Austria. I unequivocally recommend him to anyone who wants to get healthier and faster!

Fantastic experience: I recently completed three incredibly informative sessions with James, a sports nutritionist whose expertise and passion for his craft truly stand out. Before meeting James, my understanding of nutrition was quite basic, but thanks to his comprehensive and enlightening guidance, I've discovered a wealth of knowledge I never knew existed. James has an exceptional ability to make complex nutrition concepts accessible and engaging. His sessions are not just educational; they are transformative. Since beginning my journey with James, I've noticed a remarkable increase in my energy levels at the gym. More importantly, I've gained invaluable insights into my body's unique needs and how to meet them through my diet. This newfound understanding has empowered me to make healthier food choices, directly impacting my fitness and overall well-being. What sets James apart is not just his vast knowledge of sports nutrition but his genuine dedication to his clients' progress. Each session with him is highly productive, culminating in a tailored action plan that's both practical and easy to follow. James's commitment extends beyond the monthly sessions; he proactively follows up on a weekly basis, ensuring that I remain on track and motivated. His availability to answer questions or provide additional support at any time is a testament to his dedication. In summary, my experience with James has been nothing short of exceptional. He is not just a nutritionist; he is a mentor, motivator, and advocate for his clients' success. If you're looking to elevate your fitness journey with expert nutritional guidance, I cannot recommend James highly enough. His passion, expertise, and unwavering support have made a significant difference in my life, and I am confident he will do the same for you. Thank you James and Nutrition for Energy!

Fantastic experience: Our 13 year-old son has daily intensive sports training and this, paired with a growth spurt, required us to adopt a different approach to his nutritional intake. James' advice was of great help and the changes we made, thanks to his guidance, really made a difference. Our son sleeps much deeper now, can focus better at school, can power through his training sessions and his recovery time is faster. His energy levels have increased and what / how much he eats has definitely had an impact on the output. It really made a difference and we cannot recommend Nutrition for Energy highly enough.

Fantastic experience: James is Professional, engaging and second to none in what he offers. He has an incredible in depth knowledge of food and energy. The one to one meetings are very engaging and interesting. Not only do I know what I must do, but I also feel motivated to get it done. For me, my goals were to feel better and perform better, whilst improving my body composition. As a coach and competitive athlete myself, working with James has allowed me to drop weight, maintain and build muscle whilst hitting personal bests on the race floor. I will continue working with James long into the future. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I'm 4 weeks in to the Nutrition for Energy Performance Accelerator programme and I'm loving it. James is so knowledgeable and has a great approach to teaching and suggesting changes to enhance my performance. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to reach their fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: James was so informative and knowledgable!! Followed up with a really clear plan of action, which was flexible to suit my lifestyle and running goals. This one session has really changed my eating habits and the way I look at food. Cannot wait for the next session on Jan!

Fantastic experience: James has been a phenomenal help to my teenager who is a very busy athlete. I would definitely recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Had the opportunity to listen to James speaking all things nutrition at Grand union CrossFit, and I must say that it was both informative and engaging. James's information was well-structured and easy to follow, making complex nutritional concepts accessible to everyone in the audience. His passion for the subject was clear from the start, and it was truly contagious as he spoke. James navigated the group tailoring each question and answer making it clear and specific for each individual. I took away more nutrition protocols, practices and information I had before. This will help develop my own nutrition plan in the future, James also busted a tone of myths when it comes to carbs and sugar. All in all, I’d highly recommend James and his nutrition plan to anyone looking to hit those nutrition goals or generally looking to be the best version of themselves!

Fantastic experience: What an incredible level of knowledge, which was so super usable & game changing for my daily behaviour as well as my sport performance.

Fantastic experience: I cannot overemphasise how much James has changed my approach to nutrition and fueling for sports performance for the better. I was plateauing with my training so I reached out to James who not only showed me how nutrition can enhance performance but taught me how to manage the changing needs of my training schedule in order to achieve maximum benefit. If you are serious about your training and performance then you need to dial in your nutrition and James can help you do that. You won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: From our very first meeting, James took the time to understand my goals, preferences, and any dietary restrictions I had. His extensive knowledge of sports nutrition was evident throughout our sessions. He emphasized the importance of fueling my body properly for optimal performance, and his guidance greatly enhanced my endurance and energy levels during my races. His dedication and genuine interest in my success made me feel valued as a client and helped me stay committed to my goals. Thanks to James' invaluable advice and guidance, I saw significant improvements in my race performance. Not only did I achieve my personal best time, but I also felt stronger and more energized throughout the entire race. I cannot recommend James enough to anyone seeking professional nutrition guidance.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a runner and triathlete for many years now but approaching 40 I decided to take on a series of ultra marathons as a bit of challenge, targeting a multi-day ultra next year. Having a busy life across work, training and socialising I’ve often struggled with my energy levels, feeling a bit flat during some sessions and like I’m not getting the most out of training. I decided to get in touch with James to discuss my lifestyle/routine and understand where I could make changes to get more out of my training. I found the process to be really positive and empowering. I have a pretty healthy diet but James helped me realise I’d gotten into some unhelpful habits with my nutrition, particularly around fuelling for my training and during longer sessions but also for my recovery. We also discussed some of my challenges with injuries and how I could aide my recovery through diet. I’m relatively short on time, so efficiency is important to me and James really helped me focus on the importance of preparation but also that good nutrition doesn’t need to be complicated or super time consuming. Over the past few months I’ve felt much more energised and like I am getting more out of my training. The changes I’ve made haven’t been super complicated or time consuming and I’ve really enjoyed all of the recipes and suggestions that James provided. I’ve now done my first couple of ultras and taking on James’ advice around hydration and nutrition, during the race I’ve felt good and had energy right through to the end. James is really positive and supportive, provides invaluable advice and I would highly recommend getting in touch with him if you’re looking for help with your nutrition.

Fantastic experience: Amazing, very informative and great support on my journey to finding the ideal diet for my training.

Fantastic experience: Mike B, from London and keen cyclist. I had recently had a child and had let my nutrition slip. Realising that I needed some help to get it back on track with an eye to improving my sports nutritional also (along with my general day to day diet) James was great from the 1st consultation to the last and I felt comfortable to engage and book in with him. The information that James imparted on me was excellent. It was not a diet plan but more of a deep dive into how nutrition can be used to manage energy levels and create better performance. I started with changing breakfast and then moved onto adapting the other meals of the day to match my goals. I would thoroughly recommend James to anyone that wanted to take a deeper look at their sports nutrition and make some positive changes to achieve their goals.

Fantastic experience: Excellent, thoughtful and tailored coaching that is so much more than nutrition. A holistic approach looking at your attitude to food, your mindset and self confidence, behaviours and triggers. How to identify and be mindful of less helpful behaviours, understand your values and work towards living within them. Also great nutrition and training advice that is based on your needs. Totally recommend. James has helped me achieve my goals, set targets, meet them and stop binge eating. Still on the journey. But I know I will continue.

Fantastic experience: James recently delivered a seminar (at my gym) on boosting our natural immunity through nutrition. It was absolutely great - interactive and engaging. Lots of straightforward, practical, do-able advice on how to make small changes that will have big benefits. Would recommend 100%.

Fantastic experience: My name is Phil. I'm from Bedford but I have been working as a teacher in South Korea for 10 years or so. I am an active cyclist and enjoy going out on long rides every weekend. However, I needed to have a better understanding of how to fuel myself for these long rides as I felt like I wasn't optimising my performance. This is where Nutrition for Energy came to my rescue. My consultation with James was great. He demonstrated expert knowledge in his field and provided me with clear solutions to my problem. We focused on improving my carbohydrate intake during my ride and the importance of fueling properly the night before. James was thoroughly professional and helpful throughout the consultation and following up after. I would advise anyone who is curious about how their nutrition affects their body to speak to James. He's improved my performance and made me more aware of the importance of good nutrition.

Fantastic experience: No hesitation in recommending James for your health and wellbeing goals. James is highly knowledgeable and experienced in his field. He has gently and expertly educated me in what I needed to do to achieve my new health goals. I was resistant at first but James kept on message and knew what was best. Thank you James!

Fantastic experience: I'm Andrea from Thame and am a company director working full time whilst studying part time and trying to be the best athlete possible. I approached James needing help with optimising nutrition for various endurance events and needing his expert help to make sure I made the best choices and formed habits to support my goals. I have worked with James for several months now and have made some remarkable improvements in body composition, performance but most of all in forming long lasting, life-changing habits and rituals. I now am much more knowledgeable, confident and make decisions and choices about food and timings of when to eat and what to eat which support my goals. James has a wonderful manner, always attentive, kind and compassionate and his range of tactics and expertise is really impressive. As an awesome athlete himself he is proof positive his plans work and my successes are likewise. I thoroughly recommend his services, he makes it very easy to make maximum improvements.

Fantastic experience: James was recommended to me by my Tri coach. I was struggling with my weight which became a vicious circle in my training and wellness journey. James didn’t start by telling me the do’s and don’ts of healthy eating. We first went through understanding where I was in my life: stresses, anxieties, ambitions, frustrations, injuries etc. and quickly learned that the stresses and anxieties were factors that were contributing to my inability to lose weight while training. We found techniques that I could follow to manage my stress including whilst I was injured. Then we got into really understanding my personal requirements for nutrition for energy. It was a revelation. After each session with James I would put into practice what we agreed. (It was great to have that level of accountability, I would never have done it on my own at that stage). The impact on my performance was incredible. (Note - I am not by any means an ‘elite’ athlete, just someone who enjoys activity and events. All I want to do is get round the course giving it my best). The impact on my body composition was heading in the right direction (James helped me in getting my head round weight vs body comp). With the nutrition advice I received from James (noting this was through really understanding me, my capabilities, perceived weaknesses, my sweat rate, my goals etc. etc.), I knew I could confidently get through the challenge during my training. Methodically following that process during my event means I now have the confidence to sign up to more events. Working with James was a real eye opener. I will follow his advice throughout my life and know as a result I will continue to be active and participate in events. Whatever journey you are on, whether you are an elite athlete or just like me, I could not recommend James and Nutrition for Energy highly enough to help you reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: A great weekend working with you James and the England Athletics Senior & Junior Talent Programme. Thank you for unravelling so well nutrition in a sporting context. The Breathing workshop has started many conversations and I am sure coaches will be intrigued to learn more about this interesting subject and how it can impact performance. The feedback from both workshops has been great the athletes have taken away some real "nuggets" that they can practically apply.. Looking forward to the next event. Harry King England National Event Lead - Relays Talent Event Lead-Speed

Fantastic experience: James is extremely knowledgable and insightful in all areas of nutrition. He provides practical strategies that are individualised and realistic. He also has an excellent knowledge of the wider sport sciences. I would highly recommend him to those wanting to improve their training, recovery, performance and lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: It was a great experience. James is very good at explaining what is best and why in an easily digestible way. I highly recommend anyone take the opportunity to do workshops with him.

Fantastic experience: Never learnt so much about food before in my life. It was a great experience and lots of wisdom was taken away! Highly recommended! Hope to see you again

Fantastic experience: I had a great time in the workshop. I’ve really taken on the importance of breathing techniques and started practicing once the workshop was over! Also, it was really informative for our nutrition & how important it is to personalise your intake.

Fantastic experience: James provided good practical information that makes eating healthy more achievable.

Fantastic experience: James delivered an amazing presentation on nutrition and breathing. It was extremely informative, easy to understand and interactive so was able to get a good understanding on how nutrition can be used to benefit me personally.

Fantastic experience: I’ve followed James’s expertise on socials and in gym settings for some time now, and it became a no brainer in collaborating his services within my own business. WeTRAIN x Nutrition for Energy has helped offer our members insane value but more importantly the power of knowledge to better not only their training, but themselves. James’s approach to nutrition and the way he conveys his message is both infectious and practical. Working with James has undoubtedly bolstered our message and in turn our member base. Highly, highly, highly recommend

Fantastic experience: It’s rare to have the opportunity to work with someone who is so genuine, and so genuinely passionate about helping others. James’ knowledge of nutrition is astonishing, but he shares it in a way which is engaging, practical and useful. I honestly can’t recommend this service enough. It has changed my life.

Fantastic experience: James gave a great talk for us at Abingdon & Vale Triathlon club, covering everything about nutrition you could possibly want to know in a detailed but comprehensible way. He answered all our questions and lots of the attendees had real-life solutions they could, and did, put into practice. Hoping to get him back asap to do a specific race-day session...!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience working with James. Very knowledgable and very helpful. Was a pleasure to work with him. Learnt a lot!

Fantastic experience: James is knowledgeable and easy to talk with about personal nutrition goals and strategy. I am thrilled with how fuss free and simple it was to take his advice and put it into practise.

Fantastic experience: James is very knowledgable and provides a distilled, easy to understand explanation to any nutrition questions I have. Following this he provides a realistic action plan to make long term positive changes. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Excellenr experience learning loads as a client of James on his 3 month accelarator course... Made a massive impact onnmy energy levels but steered me well across the 3 months especially tweaking my behaviour and habits to make things more realistic to keep consistency in my nutrition high... Definatley recommend him for anyone serious about improving nutrition...

Fantastic experience: My name is Michelle Ward, I live in Leicestershire and I'm a swim teacher/aqua aerobics instructor. I first contacted James on the 3 month accelerator to try and see if I could improve energy so that I could maybe complete my first Ultra. (knees dependant) I have tried other nutritionists in the past so I was sceptical but after our first meeting I knew I had to try and invest some time and money in myself to see if I could pull myself out of a slump I was in with fitness, energy and motivation after completing the channel relay last year. Well what can I say James had his work cut out with me as after the first consultation in the 3 month accelerator he identified a major issue with my eating and something I hadn't realised I was doing. We will come onto that in a minute but initially he helped me realise that I was not actually eating enough calories for my job and lifestyle. I was sceptical of eating more in my breakfast and lunches but had to put the faith into his knowledge. I loved that James came up with quick lunches that I could do and still keep good gut health. My first 'AHA' moment was on holiday (after two months), when for the first time in many years, if not my whole life, I felt strong running in the sun, felt lean and felt positive in my body. I carried on with James after the 3 month accelerator and to cut a long story short I completed a 50k ultra buzzing after only returning back to long distance running for 2 months due to knee issues. I then went on to complete a 100k in the Conti thunder run which was a technical off road looped event but sadly due to no running poles I had to retire in the evening as I would have fallen over in the dark as I'm clumsy. You might think 'I could do this without nutritional help' and maybe you can but to put into context I have done marathons and Ironmans and would have been totally spent after them and unable to do anything for several weeks after. I ran a couple of days after my 100k ultra (only 4/5 miles) but the shock was that I ran 15 miles one week after with energy to spare. My life has changed this year not only with food management but also sleep management and the word I hate to use 'self care'. This change was due to James spotting many issues only by talking to me in that first consultation. So the major issue spotted by James and I was too ashamed to admit till now is that I still have an eating disorder even after 30 years and hadn't realised it till James delicately used the word 'binge and restrict'. Have I cracked it yet, the answer would be no, but have I identified triggers with the help of James and managed to control it better, the answer is 'Yes' I look forward to working with James more in 2023 as I embark on a huge challenge for me mentally and physically which will need his expert help to complete. My advice to anyone who is thinking of using James would be to quote a Nike phrase.......JUST DO IT!!

Fantastic experience: Went to James twice in the lead up to my first Ironman. The first was to plan my training nutrition and the second was to plan the race day nutrition and can definitely recommend James to anyone looking to take endurance events seriously!! James took me through a range of nutrition products to try rather than just recommending one brand and explained the reasoning And science behind the nutrition plan that was tailored for me based on my targets and metrics. I was considering trying to plan the nutrition myself but after struggling on a few long rides I went to James and I honestly don’t know if I would have made it through the event without James’s nutrition plan!! Thanks mate you smashed it!

Fantastic experience: My name is Freddie Woodman, I’m from London and i am a professional footballer for Preston North End FC. I came to James to seek help around my pre game nutrition strategy, and helping to stop the belly pain i was feeling in most matches. I also wanted help in an eating disorder i felt i was suffering from. I was hesitant seeking advice because i had tried to receive help before, but wasn’t always totally honest. James made me feel totally comfortable opening up about the problem and he done a grand job in helping me understand the problem. He helped me put strategies in place to attack the root cause of the problem. My advice to anyone athlete or not is to have that first consultation. Not only has James allowed me to become a better footballer, he has helped me become a better person. I didn’t realise how important nutrition is for you to be the best version of yourself. Thank you James.

Fantastic experience: I was recommended to James to assist with ironing out some nutrition based issues I was experiencing during ultra endurance events. Working with James has not only helped me overcome these problems but the knowledge he has given me now allows me to understand how my body works which has significantly improved my performances and allowed me to plan for harder and more extreme challenges. He comes highly recommended. Matt Jackson

Fantastic experience: I approached James to help me with my race day nutrition as a vegan long distance athlete. I was so impressed with his depth of knowledge, professionalism and general approach, I ended worked with him on a longer term basis to help with my general energy levels whilst training for iron distance triathlon. In a nutshell, it was a game changer. I went from energy slumps, permanently snacking and constant napping to feeling energised, both physically and mentally. I have been utilising the skills I learnt from James into my general lifestyle as well. We call him The Food Wizard in our house, because that's what he is really!

Fantastic experience: So happy that I found such a caring nutritionist for my teenage son who plays football. James helped my son to follow a simple plan, in which he could learn effective eating habits that would enhance his sports performance on a daily basis. He took the time to explain his methods in a pre-consultation which really helped my son to feel connected to him in the actual consultation. In my son's own words, 'James is a great person and he's really friendly. He has helped me to improve my own fitness.' I would highly recommend James as even now he still checks in on us which means a lot.

Fantastic experience: I attended a webinar on eating around your cycle in sport for women and I was exceptionally impressed with the frank informative delivery of information. James has a great delivery and is very thorough in how he teaches: it is clear he is very passionate about the subject. I am hoping he will compose and deliver another soon about later life for women in sport!

Fantastic experience: As a cyclist James has guided me to ensure my nutritional needs are right in order for me to fuel correctly whether it be training, recovery or weight management His knowledge on sports nutrition is never ending. He provides lots of recipe ideas & advice and gives lots of support and tips wheh required It's great to finally understand my Nutritional needs without guessing Thanks James

Fantastic experience: The Eating around your cycle Presentation by James was excellently delivered. The material was accurate , detailed and gave me lots of new information to pass onto Female Athletes in my squad, so they can adapt their training based on their cycles and I can write up better Coaching sessions for them. My Athletics Club will benefit from the information .It is ground breaking, casts away the old fashioned taboo about not talking Publicly around the Menstrual Cycle. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Was lucky enough to be on one of James's webinars, his knowledge and passion for this topic was refreshing. Would recommend James for advice.

Fantastic experience: Well done James A thorough, insightful & relatable delve into training, eating, resting & recovering intuitively for pre-menopausal women. Looking forward to harnessing some very useful advice to train optimally this year; thank you!

Fantastic experience: So informative!!! Really enjoyed the webinar and learnt so much. James interacted with his audience and made sure that everyone left with more knowledge they came in with!! Will for sure be attending more webinars from him

Fantastic experience: I completed the 3 month performance accelerator with James and right from the very first meeting he was able to explain where I was going wrong and what was causing my GI issues whilst running. It was like a light bulb moment, one for which I will always be grateful. James advised on various meal plans which enabled my performance to increase with just eating the right foods along with nutrition for race day. His knowledge of all things nutrition, is amazing. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I worked with James to help improve my nutrition for Kona ironman and in day-to-day life. The contact was brilliant and having someone holding me accountable for what I was consuming has helped me feel much more energised in training!

Fantastic experience: I was honestly blown away after having just a 1 hour telephone conversation with James. The depth of information I was given in regards to my nutrition made me really understand where I was going wrong and what I needed to do to stay on top of my game. I have put into practice the helpful information and in only 4 days I have seen such a difference in my energy levels and strength. I cannot wait for another 1-1 consultation to achieve more of my goals. Thank you so much already James.

Fantastic experience: James’ insights into nutrition whilst training for and competing in an endurance event was invaluable. James explained the importance of working on my nutrition in a way that was easy to understand and relevant to my training needs. In the run up to my second 50 km trail run I followed the advice and found that I was able to train harder and for longer, and enjoy my training runs without bonking, which had been a big issue the past.

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend James enough. Nine months on from the start of the six-month challenge I am leaner and fitter than I have ever been, and feeling better than I can remember. James has given me the tools to eat healthily and sustainably and my whole family is reaping the benefits.

Fantastic experience: Amazing personalised nutrition planning. James has helped me to fuel for the runs and recover well over marathon training months. Great meal advice and tailored daily diet plans have increased my awareness and understanding of what I am eating and what my body needs. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Excellent knowledge, gave me plenty of options to trial whilst training and helped towards formulating a plan for race day.

Fantastic experience: James offers a bespoke service to members of our online training community. His knowledge is incredible and the professional service that he offers our athletes is second to none. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I don't usually do reviews but when you meet someone who has so much passion for what he does and makes such effort for his clients its special and not what you find in such a clinical world. James loves what he does and from the short time I have spent in a session with him , his desire to genuinely help others improve is just nothing short of outstanding . He is lovely to work with and if you want to make changes and do it with someone where you're not just a number , he is your man.

Fantastic experience: James is excellent. Extremely diligent and detailed in his approach. Listens carefully and provides actionable, personalised advice based on a wealth of knowledge.

Fantastic experience: I first met with James over 3 months ago. He is extremely professional and has a deep, easily digestible knowledge around nutrition and performance. I learnt more in an hour with James than from a decade of reading bodybuilding.com and broscience online! I was particularly impressed that he considers digestive health as well as performance and helped develop a roadmap that improves both of these areas. Overall, I am better fuelled, eating a more diverse range of foods, stronger and leaner than three months ago while actively taking more care of my digestive health.

Fantastic experience: James is honest, intelligent and incredibly professional. Alongside his consultations, James provides the public with a wealth of free knowledge via his social media accounts whereby he provides nutritional and exercise based information that is both practical and knowledgable. For someone like myself looking to improve their knowledge in sustainability, wellness, health and fitness I know I can count on messaging James for a personal and informative response. His social media account alone is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to learn and understand more about health, nutrition and performance. Cheers James!

Fantastic experience: I work as a Personal Trainer in London and have always had a huge interest in nutrition and have believed I had "enough" knowledge to support both myself and my clients in an efficient, sustainable and ideal way but since working with James I've had a huge eye opener into how the body actually works and responds to the foods we consume and how we consume it. And not only this but realising there is so much more to it such as working on Subconscious behavioural patters, understanding hormones, cravings, maximising energy etc. Cannot recommend & thank James enough for his work!

Fantastic experience: Just had my first consultation with James: his knowledge is just outstanding and he provided me with the guidance I needed to take my nutrition to the next level. Looking forward to work with him again!

Fantastic experience: Strong first consultation session with James this morning. Really looking forward to working together and getting back on track... watch this space.

Fantastic experience: Coming back from a ruptured Achilles I had lost my way with staying on track with food, so I went to James for help, he was great, he listened to everything I had to say and then went back through it with me to really help where I was going wrong and what I needed to add in. I’m now 4 weeks in, iv done a small comp and back to double training days and long days on a building site I have noticed a massive change in my energy levels and the mid afternoon dip reaching for a pick me up is no longer there.

Fantastic experience: Very professional service, thanks for the advice and guidance with my diet plan.

Fantastic experience: Had my first consultation with James today and I couldn’t be happier. The session was insightful and empowering. I was apprehensive to say the least, I’m far from ‘athletic’. James was extremely professional, non judgemental and gave me some very useful tools to help me reach my goals. I’m genuinely looking forward to the next few weeks.

Fantastic experience: James is fantastic to work with, he’s patient and really knowledgable which makes it easy for him to guide ,set goals, targets and plans. Excited for our results.

Fantastic experience: I recently had a 1:1 with James, after attending a workshop he hosted. I am impressed with his knowledge, insight, but most importantly his explanations. James is helping me with my training with some Carb Periodisation work in preparation for an endurance event in the summer. I am looking forward to working with James this year on the start of a very exciting journey.

Fantastic experience: 'I’m excited to be working with James after attending his workshop ‘Nutrition for Endurance’ hosted by Tri-Swim Coaching. I was inspired by his approach and knowledge and wanted to work with someone whose knowledge I can trust due to managing endocrine issues that effect my weight management and energy to power conversion. I’m an endurance cyclist and take part in mountain events. The training for these has been challenged due to my health. I’m looking to improve power to weight ratio, as well as on and off bike energy dips. I am already seeing improved energy during and post rides which is helping to motivate me further. My general diet was already very clean, however the changes James has suggested are already making a difference and make perfect sense. I’m looking forward to 2020’s training program to fully implement them. James is following up with me outside of our scheduled sessions to check on progress, I was really impressed by this. It's very personable and is helping to keep me on track'

Fantastic experience: I used James for nutrition consultation / body consultation as have always done lots of training, but haven’t thought too much about nutrition. He’s approachable, informed and his approach is realistic and gets really positive outcomes. As a family, James also provided advice to my Son who had just moved to a vegan diet and we were concerned that he wasn't getting enough calories.James did a full audit of food intake and then helped provide decent ideas to ensure he gets a varied diet which has been a massive help. I would thoroughly recommend James to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend James and his Body Comp/ Nutrition Consultation enough! I approached James for advice on how to improve my diet and overall body aesthetic - something I feel I have struggled with for a while now. Throughout the session James explained everything in great detail and has given me some achievable and realistic goals to work towards. His knowledge is incredible and he makes everything very personable. Not once did I feel as if I was just another client on a conveyor belt. I am really excited to start this journey with James!

Fantastic experience: Traditionally I have always relied on the scales to measure progress (or lack of!) but since taking up CrossFit I have found this method to be soul destroying as the numbers don’t seem to move favourably and have actually increased. Having James perform a thorough, accurate body composition meant I was able to see that based on my body fat % I’m actually “lean” with infact a % just under the lower parameter for my age and I don’t need to obsess and fixate on an arbitrary number on the scales. As a lady of older years, I will admit to being nervous of exposing flesh and being seen in my crop top snd shorts but James was incredibly professional and I was put at ease. He took time to explain results to me and followed it up with a written report with recommendations for maintaining/changing body composition. I’m looking forward to a reapeat analysis in March to review what a further 3 months of training does for my body composition, being mindful that I don’t lose more body fat which may composimise performance.

Fantastic experience: Just had my first body consult with James. He was punctual, professional and makes you feel very comfortable and safe when conducting the body measurements. He is incredibly thorough and specific when determining what your goals are. It is very easy to talk openly to him about your habits and how you can change your body without being too restrictive, his realistic approach is very motivating. I cannot wait to see how I progress, would highly recommend his body composition consultations.

Fantastic experience: Body Composition service was a great experience and handled very professionally. Highly recommend for anyone to gain some useful insight around their body composition and have a robust method for tracking in future appointments. James from Nutrition for Energy had a lot of knowledge that has been great for me to understand how my external lifestyle factors can help optimize my performance in my sport. I look forward to work with Nutrition for Energy & James throughout the year
