YOUR DIETITIAN
PERFORMANCE & GUT DIETITIAN
Hannah Brereton
BHlthSc (Nut & Diet)(Hons), APD, AN
Hannah is an Accredited Practicing Dietitian (APD). Her drive is to work with you to progress you past just ‘better health’ and onto achieving goals you originally didn’t think were possible. She has worked with juniour right up to the worlds best athletes.
One of Hannah's biggest drives is to empower you to learn about food so that you can fuel your body right whilst maintaining a healthy relationship with food.
"When I was younger, I competed in athletics. I was never the best but I loved it. There came a point where I put so much pressure on myself to do well and also look good in those little crop tops and bum shorts. I began to cut down my eating and, in turn, developed an eating disorder. My performance suffered and I couldn't compete or train.
My passion is to work with athletes, male or female, young or old, to help them learn to fuel their body, optimise performance and learn about the incredible functions of food."
Hannah is interested in your lifestyle and takes the time to understand how various emotional, social and medical factors influence your food choices, such as sleep and stress (like who doesn’t want to down a tub of peanut butter when they are feeling low?).
