He works with a wide range of athletes, from elite endurance competitors and intercounty GAA players to recreational and “weekend warrior” athletes, delivering tailored nutrition programmes aligned with the specific demands of each sport, individual goals, and lifestyle. His approach combines long-term dietary optimisation with targeted strategies for training, competition, and match or race day fuelling.

Very professional, great session.

David was very insightful, practical and realistic around my goals and my timeframe. His advice and plans helped to massively contribute towards my goals.
Dave is fantastic at what he does. Practical, useful information backed up by an abundance of science. Helped me a lot with my athletic goals.
David was great, brought real world experience to us and explained it in such an easy to understand way,
I got in touch with Dave as I was struggling with my nutrition for my running. I signed up with Dave and he got me on the right track with my running jumping up another level due to the right nutrition. I highly recommend him as he is very thorough.
I started working with Dave in early 2026 to help with my Nutrition toward imroving my cycling performace. I was always concerned that looking at my nitrition properly would take the fun out of my cycling a bit, be a step too far when already taking training and racing seriously as a Cat 1 racer in Ireland for a number of years. I though I had the basics of nutrition well enough covered. But what I found was lessons learned through the process are easy to apply, and are not so much extras but small changes that can make a big difference. Working with Dave is as formal or as informal as you like it to be, with regular check ins and great responsiveness to queries.
Dave explained everything very clearly and I left the meeting excited to put the information into practice, this information and the nutrition plan provided by Dave led to increased performance, times improved and I particularly noticed that recovery was quicker. Following the plan is second nature now.
Excellent service, David helped me prepare for a marathon. He helped me work on my day to day nutrition and helped me dial in my race day prepation.
