Good nutrition should support your health, training and recovery without becoming unnecessarily complicated or restrictive.
At Elevate Performance Healthcare, Ally Harrison, Registered Nutritionist (SENR), delivers performance nutrition, with experience across professional football, Premier League sport, and NHS clinical practice.
Our performance nutrition service in Darlington provides practical, evidence-based, individualised support built around your lifestyle, training, and goals.
Training and Performance
Appropriate fuelling can help support training quality, recovery and competition.
This may involve looking at energy intake, carbohydrate availability, protein intake, hydration, competition-day strategies and supplementation where appropriate.
Injury Rehabilitation
Nutrition remains important during injury.
Although training levels may change, the body still requires enough energy and nutrients to support recovery, maintain muscle mass and complete rehabilitation effectively.
Where appropriate, nutrition support can work alongside physiotherapy and rehabilitation at Elevate Performance Healthcare.
RED-S and Low Energy Availability
Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) can develop when there is insufficient energy available to support both training and normal physiological function.
Ally has a particular interest in RED-S, female athlete health and hormonal health.
Support may involve understanding current fuelling habits, training demands and practical ways to improve energy availability, recovery and long-term health.
Where wider medical assessment or multidisciplinary support is required, this may also be recommended.
Muscle and Weight Gain
For individuals looking to increase muscle mass or body weight, nutrition support can help develop a practical strategy around energy intake, protein, training and lifestyle.
The aim is to create a sustainable, realistic approach rather than simply being told to “eat more”.
There is no single nutrition strategy that works for everyone.
Training demands, health, injury status, lifestyle, food preferences and individual goals all influence what the right approach looks like.

Follow-Up and Review

Where useful, detailed dietary analysis using Nutritics can also be incorporated to look more closely at energy intake, macronutrients, micronutrients and fuelling requirements. The amount of ongoing support required will depend on the individual.
