Neda is an Accredited Sports Dietitian with a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science and Master of Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Sydney. She began her career as a dietitian working in Residential Aged Care facilities, Mental Health, the NDIS and kids in the community. During this time she also worked in professional sport with the Manly Sea Eagles NRL team, A-League, Cricket Australia while being the lead dietitian for a range of representative sporting clubs. Neda’s passion for sports nutrition started in her early teens where she played Representative Basketball and was heavily involved in her school Cross Country. She experienced firsthand the consequences of poorly fuelling; fatigue, weakness, poor concentration, and more seriously – secondary amenorrhea. Despite eating more than she ever had before and doing everything her coaches asked, she saw no progress and went looking for answers. 10 years later, as an Accredited Sports Dietitian, Neda now uses her experiences to help other developing athletes ensure they’re fuelling optimally to reach peak performance in their sport.
