Nutritionist, BHSc

Elly McLean

I'm a marathon runner, Nutritionist, yogi and yes, my favourite food is kale. I believe that food is fuel and should be enjoyed, not feared. What I'm most passionate about is seeing you succeed through fuelling the best version of yourself. I am not just a Nutritionist, yogi or runner. Rather, I am the luckiest person in the world because I get to work with individuals like you to maximise your potential through what you choose to put on your plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I start the meal plan whenever I like?

    It’s recommended that you commence meal planning on the set start date so that you can join the rest of the Kick Starter community on the journey.
