Who I Help

At Spice Nutrition, we specialise in supporting female athletes and active women to fuel smarter, recover faster, and perform at their best. Our programs are designed for the unique demands of both team sport athletes and hybrid training women, helping them develop sustainable nutrition habits that fit training, competition, and life.

Team Sport & AFLW Athletes

Female athletes in team sports like AFLW, Netball, Soccer, or Basketball face specific performance demands. From pre-game fuelling to recovery nutrition, we help athletes optimise energy, strength, and endurance while managing the challenges of travel, training schedules, and match day performance. Our evidence-based strategies ensure female athletes maintain consistent performance across the season. πŸ‰

Hybrid Training Women

For women combining strength programs, gym-based sessions, and sport-specific training, hybrid schedules can be physically and mentally demanding. Spice Nutrition provides practical nutrition solutions to support energy availability, recovery, body composition, and performance, helping athletes balance intense training with everyday life. These strategies are tailored to female physiology, ensuring results without burnout or compromise. πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ
