Dietitian / Nutritionist
Gemma is an Australian trained Registered Dietitian and Accredited Sports Dietitian based in Liverpool who founded the online sports nutrition consultancy Dietitian Without Borders.

Always learning and developing her knowledge base, Gemma is currently completing a Masters in Sports Nutrition at Liverpool John Moores University with the view of undertaking a PhD in the future.
"I'm all about the long-haul rather than the quick fix. I am to empower and inspire athletes to make positive and sustainable food, nutrition and lifestyle changes to fuel an adventurous life and fuel their performance."
After about ten years of talking about doing a triathlon, she began her personal triathlon journey in 2015 completing a sprint, Olympic and 70.3 triathlon all within her first season. An active member of Mersey Tri club, in 2016 she successfully completed Ironman Wales. As an athlete herself, Gemma understands the challenges and struggles triathletes face when balancing work, social lives, training and nutrition. Her personal and professional knowledge, experience and expertise is used to tailor practical nutritional recommendations to support triathletes with their goals.
“What’s stopping you?” Good question. The only thing stopping me from trying is myself. Slateman sprint was my introduction to the world of triathlon, and I was hooked from the word go. My only disappointment was that it was over too quickly!
It’s all about the elusive fourth medal. You’re bound to wake up on the Sunday before marathon with some aching muscles, but getting your time on the red carpet with your 4th medal is worth every second.
Long distance is all about the value for money! It’s a long day and you may as well enjoy it. The atmosphere and support during an ironman is like nothing you’ve ever experienced before. A tough course? Yes. But the support, atmosphere and gorgeous scenery makes it totally worth it.
Having completed a 70.3 Ironman distance and looking to my next, I realised I needed to change my approach to the nutrients going in, before & during this kind of event in future. Gemma provided me with a deeper insight to what was required to fuel the body for such endurance. For me it wasn’t until the run that I found the benefits of all the ‘prep food loading’ kick into action."
