Who can benefit from nutritional advice?
Nutritional advice is useful for anyone who wants to work toward optimal health through a balanced diet.
Nutritional advice can make a difference if you:
- want to become or stay healthy , or you want to reach a certain target weight.
- you want to improve your athletic performance or achieve your ideal athletic weight.
- promoterecovery after strenuous workouts .
- want to determine what you should eat before, during, and after your workouts, or want to optimize your nutrition on competition day.
It used to be thought that training alone was important for achieving good performance, but nothing could be further from the truth! An appropriate diet can lead to better performance, optimal recovery, higher resilience, and a greater training effect. This applies to both recreational and avid athletes.
What can you expect?
You sign up for a series of three sessions. This allows us to build a solid foundation that you can continue to build on in the long term.
SESSION 1: 60-minute intake interview.
During this introductory meeting, we will go over:

Method
DEXA scan
A DEXA scanner provides insight into your body composition using very low-intensity X-rays.
Specifically, the scanner gives you insight into the difference between your fat-free mass (such as muscle mass) and your fat mass. This is something that athletes such as Mathieu van der Poel, Isaac Kimeli, Koen Naert, Nafi Thiam, and Ceylin Alvarado have already eagerly taken advantage of, as they have already visited Runners' Lab for a DEXA scan.
You can book a DEXA scan separately via Runners' Lab. This is only possible in Zwijndrecht.

Sports nutrition
With the right sports nutrition, you can get the most out of your training sessions and competitions. Especially when you run for longer than an hour, the extra energy comes in handy. And it doesn't stop after your run: a recovery drink is the best way to help your body recover optimally.

We provide 3 sessions.
The first meeting lasts 60 minutes and starts with a general introduction.
We will review your expectations, along with your general and medical information. We will then take a closer look at your training schedule so that we can link it to the nutritional advice. Your current diet will be mapped out using the pre-filled food diary. Based on the above information, you will immediately receive specific tips that you can put into practice.
If you have specific questions, these will of course also be discussed. These may concern preparation for a competition, the use of supplements, carb loading, training the gut, etc. Depending on your interests, we will determine the content of the follow-up sessions.
The next two sessions are 30 minutes long and will be scheduled in consultation at the end of the first meeting.
