Having spent over 8 years involved in individual and team sports, as well as having an abundance of academic tuition lead by some of the foremost mentors in the fitness industry; I have acquired knowledge that has been trialled & tested time & time again to assure that my clients are getting the highest quality of coaching. I believe in educating to create habits and turning weaknesses into strengths. My philosophy involves identifying then correcting imbalances & areas of weakness. As well as educating my clients about the intention of progressing efficiently using an individualised plan to promote success and longevity in their results. I believe training is not only about your end goal, but enjoying the process and having fun (almost!) every step of the way. My goal for you is to feel great about yourself inside & out, in clothes & with nothing on at all - and I have the proficiency & systems in place to get you there. Become what inspires you to want to get up in the morning.

I didn’t know that I was shooting myself in the foot for all those years of high dosing beef liver + spleen & beef mince at the start of my day when I’m a COFFEE-MAXXER β˜•οΈ

βœ… Caffeine should be kept at least 60 minutes before or after the meal.
βœ… For best absorption, especially if relying on food iron rather than supplements, aim for 90 minutes.

This applies to:
β€’ Coffee including decaf
β€’ Black tea
β€’ Green tea
β€’ Matcha
β€’ Yerba mate
β€’ Cola and energy drinks

Herbal teas like rooibos, chamomile, peppermint are fine.

How much does caffeine actually reduce iron absorption?

Approximate reductions seen in human studies:
β€’ Coffee with a meal
β†’ 35–40% reduction in iron absorption
β€’ Strong coffee or multiple cups
β†’ Up to 60–65% reduction
β€’ Black or green tea with a meal
β†’ 50–70% reduction due to tannins and polyphenols
β€’ Coffee 1 hour before a meal
β†’ Still around 20–30% reduction

β€’ This effect is dose dependent. One espresso does less damage than a large long black. (Guilty)
β€’ Heme iron from red meat is more resilient than non-heme iron, but it is not immune.
β€’ Chronic daily interference matters more than one imperfect day.

If iron matters, & for most training women it does:
β€’ Coffee on waking
β€’ Wait 60–90 minutes
β€’ Then breakfast with red meat or iron supplement
β€’ Add vitamin C, citrus, kiwi, capsicum
β€’ Avoid calcium supplements at the same time as iron

How many of you feel self betrayed?? πŸ‘Ί
