Delighted to see Cormac improve his iron levels, stay healthy through the winter and run a 10-mile PB 👏.

Consistency, good nutrition and the right guidance make all the difference. 🏃‍♂️

Some fabulous Irish produce I picked up in my local SuperValu in Newbridge 🍀

I love discovering Irish brands that use real, whole, local ingredients from organic veggies and protein bars to kombucha, coconut milk, sauces, jams and more.

Huge shout-out to for supporting Irish producers and making it easy to shop local 👏🇮🇪

Sharing all the amazing products I found in the comments below!👇✨

Once you've tried this recipe you'll never want shop bought jam again. I make this all the time and everyone in my family loves it.

🍓 Raspberries (or other berries)

As an athlete it is great to include berries, but especially rasberries into your diet as it can speed up the recovery process especially after a hard, intense session.

Rich in antioxidants – Help fight inflammation and oxidative stress.

High in fibre – Supports gut health and helps regulate blood sugar.

Vitamin C – Boosts immunity and aids collagen production.

Low in calories – Great for a light, nutrient-dense option.

🌱 Chia Seeds

Excellent fibre source – Improves digestion and helps you feel fuller longer.

Rich in protein – Supports muscle repair and recovery.

Contains calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus – Important for bone strength.

🍯 Honey (or maple syrup)

Natural sweetener – Less processed than refined sugar.

Antibacterial and antioxidant properties (especially in raw honey).

Provides quick energy – Ideal for athletes or active lifestyles.

(Maple syrup is a good vegan alternative, providing small amounts of manganese and zinc.)

🍋 Lemon Juice (optional)

🏃‍♀️ Power Up with Beetroot Juice! 🥤
Beetroot juice is a performance booster backed by science!

As a competitive athlete and a sports nutritionist .mc here’s why I drink it regularly and recommend that you do too!

💪 1. Boosts Endurance
High in nitrates, beetroot helps improve oxygen efficiency, allowing you to train longer before fatigue sets in.

❤️ 2. Enhances Blood Flow
It widens blood vessels, improving circulation and delivering more oxygen and nutrients to your muscles.

⚡ 3. Increases Energy & Stamina
More oxygen = better energy production, especially during high-intensity workouts.

🧠 4. Aids Recovery
Packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that help muscles recover faster.

🩷 5. Supports Heart Health
Regular intake can help lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular performance.

🥬 For Best Results
Drink approximately 250ml about 2–3 hours before training or competition.

My favourite beetroot juice is called Feighery's . It's 100% Irish using homegrown pesticide-free beetroot, grown on their home farm in Co. Offaly amd I love supporting local producers.

Iron deficiency and fatigue are very common among athletes, particularly females. Charlotte, I'm glad that you have followed my advice and are now feeling much more energised. Thank you for this testimonial.
