ABOUT JESS - THE HIKER'S NUTRITIONIST
I'm just as hungry for a science-based approach to food as I am for views only accessible by foot.
WELCOME!
THE MAIN THING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ME IS THAT I'M THE ONE WITH THE FOOD.
There’s nothing I hate more than reading nine kilometres of life story before I reach a recipe on a blog.
So I’m going to keep this bio short.
I believe in doing a few things well and pairing interests with skills. What I love is hiking. And what I’m good at is nutrition and organisation.
Putting them together was a no-brainer.
If you're still reading, I assume you want to improve your performance and nutrition on the trail.
You want information that takes years to learn, understand, test, and apply – and you want it from someone with equivalent experience on the trails. I've got both.
​
​Adventure's calling, and dinner isn't far behind so let's crack on with the nitty gritty.
My qualifications are below.
For anything else you’d like to know, send me an email. ​​​

P.S. I'm in the process of knocking together a shop and some awesome products and services to go in there. Stay updated by following my Instagram, or if you feel like being a dead-set legendary guinea pig and helping me test and evaluate new resources for hikers, please reach out.
