We recommend reaching out to your health insurance provider to ensure they cover nutrition services (Nutritionists are recognized differently to Dieticians in Victoria) to find out whether or not you are eligible to make a claim on our services. You may be able to claim under “dietary” extras, “healthy lifestyle” or “weight management” depending on your level of cover. Different provider number are allocated to different health fund providers so we will need to know who you are associated with in order to provide you with relevant receipts.
Please also note we don’t have a HICAPS system and you will need to make a claim manually after your consultation with us.
We look forward to working with you!
What a lovely idea. Please get in touch with Rach here to organise for you!
Great question. The answer is, it depends. If you are looking to dial in your nutrition for fat adaption, a minimum of 8 weeks will yield the best results. If you are coming from a traditional sports nutrition model (i.e. high carbohydrate), your key sessions may be comprised if we make major changes too close to race day.
The ideal time to start working on your metabolic efficiency is post-race, when training volume is low, stress management can be prioritised, and time can be allocated to food preparation and the development of your new routine.
If you are well on your way and just need to fine tune things, then 4-6 weeks will work. The main thing to consider from a fuelling perspective is key sessions to trial strategies in, in order to replicate race day as closely as possible. The number one rule in racing is nothing new happens on race day.
We do our best to accommodate everyone here at TNN but unfortunately not every recipe may be suitable for you.
If you have a recipe you would like the team to redevelop (i.e. convert to gluten free, refined sugar free, nut free or LCHF), please contact us here and we will do our best to include your request.
Wonderful. We have a number of options available, which we will happily share with you. Please contact us here.
Of course. Please send through your request here.
