Is this for you?
Who this service is for
Performance nutrition is mostly unglamorous: eating enough, at the right times, consistently. Most of the athletes I work with are under-fuelling rather than under-supplementing.
This is likely a good fit if
- You are training for a marathon, a race or a competition and your nutrition has not kept pace with your training load
- You are plant-based and want to know your protein, iron and B12 are genuinely covered
- You are hitting a wall late in sessions and suspect it is fuelling rather than fitness
- You want to know which supplements are worth the money and which are marketing
This is probably not the right fit if
- You are looking for a rapid weight-cut protocol before a weigh-in
- You want a plan built around supplements rather than food

Practicalities
What's included
Every service runs on the same structure. What changes is what we work on inside it.
- First consultation
- 60–90 minutes, online or in person in Tilburg and Antalya. We go through your history, your habits and what you actually want out of this.
- Your plan
- Built for you and sent within 5–7 days — not a template, and not a list of foods you already know you should eat.
- Follow-ups
- Every 2–4 weeks, so the plan adapts to your real life rather than the version of it we imagined in session one.
- Between sessions
- WhatsApp support for the questions that come up in a supermarket aisle at 6pm, when a plan on paper stops being useful.
- Language
- Consultations in English or Turkish, with the same depth in both.
- Payment
- Private-pay. Consultations are not billed to Dutch health insurance — HANZI is not Kwaliteitsregister-registered and holds no AGB code, so if reimbursement matters to you, check your policy before booking.
- Getting started
- A free discovery call first. It costs you nothing and tells us both whether this is the right fit.

I prepare nutrition programs for vegan and vegetarian athletes to meet their protein needs with plant-based athlete meal plans. We focus on optimizing critical nutrients such as combination of plant protein sources, iron, B12 and omega-3 fatty acids. We develop sustainable plant-based nutrition strategies without performance loss.
