15 Years inside elite sport

Eliza Freney is an Advanced Sports Dietitian (Ad SD), Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) & Nutritionist (MBAppSc, MDietStudies, IOC Dip, MBA)

I've worked inside the environments where nutrition is not optional — it is infrastructure. National rugby teams, international cricket, professional sport clubs and high performing individuals. The standards I apply to my private clients are the same standards used in elite programs.
