Making nutrition simple for athletes
In combat sports, nutrition isn't just about eating well. It's what gives you the energy to train, helps you recover between sessions, keeps your weight on track, and gets you to competition ready to perform.
As both a competitor and a coach, I know what it takes to train for a fight and make weight. I've experienced firsthand what works, what doesn't, and how hard it can be to fuel your performance while staying on track for your weight class.
My approach is simple: build your nutrition around you and your sport. Your training schedule, lifestyle, experience, goals, and even the foods you enjoy all matter.
Together, we'll develop a plan that fuels hard training, supports recovery, and gets you on weight without sacrificing performance along the way.
The goal isn't just to make weight. It's to have your nutrition working for you through every week of camp, so you show up on fight night feeling prepared, fueled, and ready to perform when it matters most.

Testimonials
What I like working with Ian is he isn't afraid to tell you the hard truth while being cheeky.
It helps having someone in your corner who not only knows how to cut weight and prepare you for fights, but is an active fighter themselves. What I like the most is that he doesn't stick to outdated methods that usually cause most people harm.
Working with Ian was easy.
While his methodology is data-driven, he makes weight cutting approachable and helped me set nutrition goals that were realistic for my lifestyle and body composition. I cut 15 pounds to drop to a new weight class and won my first five round title fight without sacrificing my energy levels. Regular check-ins and mindful adjustments along the way kept me on track and made the whole process feel manageable.
Ian was a pleasure to work with.
He checked in almost every day during my camp, which helped me stay on track and feel like I'm being held accountable. We were able to make adjustments which helped me reach my goal just in time for weight week. He also played a crucial part during my actual weight cut, making sure that I timed my sweat sessions out, and that I was safe throughout the process.
