Fuel Your Training With a Personalised Sports Nutrition Plan
Whether you're a weekend runner along the Mornington Peninsula coastline, a competitive athlete, or somewhere in between, the right nutrition strategy can make a real difference to how you train, recover and feel. Fleur Dean is a Certified Practising Nutritionist with six years of clinic experience, offering personalised sports nutrition consultations in Mount Eliza, Dromana and online across Australia.
Nutrition That Works as Hard as You Do
Sports nutrition isn't just about protein shakes and carb-loading. It's about understanding how your individual body responds to training demands, and building a food and lifestyle approach that genuinely supports your performance and recovery. Fleur takes the time to understand your training schedule, goals, current eating patterns and any health concerns before putting together a plan that fits your real life — not a generic template.
At Vital Energy Nutritional Medicine, sports nutrition consultations draw on functional blood pathology analysis, detailed health history and, where relevant, tools like SMART DNA and gut testing. This means the advice you receive is grounded in what's actually happening in your body, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you're working towards a specific event, trying to improve your energy and endurance, or simply wanting to feel stronger day to day, Fleur can help you build a sustainable, evidence-informed strategy.
What to Expect From Your Sports Nutrition Consultation
In-Depth Initial Consultation
Your 90-minute initial consultation covers your training load, dietary habits, energy levels, sleep, recovery patterns and any relevant health concerns. Fleur uses a detailed intake questionnaire ahead of your appointment so your time together is focused and productive. Consultations are available face-to-face at Mount Eliza or at Pinnacle Physio in Dromana, or via telehealth if that suits you better.
Personalised Nutrition Protocol
Following your consultation, Fleur develops a tailored treatment plan designed around your specific sport, training phase and individual health picture. This may include food-first strategies, targeted supplementation within your budget, functional testing recommendations and practical guidance on fuelling before, during and after training.
Ongoing Support and Plan Review
Your nutrition needs shift as your training evolves. Return consultations let Fleur review your progress, adjust your plan and troubleshoot any challenges that come up along the way. Many clients find that regular check-ins are where the real momentum builds — and Fleur is here to support that journey at a pace that works for you.

Sports Nutrition Consultation — Common Questions
What does a sports nutrition consultation involve?
Your initial consultation runs for 90 minutes and covers your training schedule, health history, current eating habits, energy, recovery and any specific goals or concerns. Fleur uses this information, along with any relevant pathology or testing, to build a personalised nutrition plan tailored to your sport and lifestyle.
Do I need to be a competitive athlete to book a sports nutrition consultation?
Not at all. Fleur works with people at all levels — from those training for their first fun run to serious competitors. If you're physically active and want to feel better, perform better or recover more effectively, a sports nutrition consultation can be a useful step.
Can I have my consultation online if I'm not on the Mornington Peninsula?
Yes. Telehealth consultations are available for clients across Australia and internationally (excluding the USA). The process is the same as an in-clinic appointment — just conducted via video call. Many clients find it just as effective and a lot more convenient.
Will I need to buy expensive supplements?
Fleur always aims to work within your supplement budget. Her approach is food-first, and any supplementation she recommends is discussed with your budget and lifestyle in mind. You won't be handed a long shopping list without context.
What testing might be involved in a sports nutrition consultation?
Fleur may recommend functional blood pathology analysis, SMART DNA testing or gut testing depending on your individual situation. These tools can provide useful insight into how your body is responding to training demands, but they are optional and discussed with you before any referrals are made.
How is Vital Energy Nutritional Medicine different from seeing a general certified practising nutritionist?
Fleur holds a Bachelor of Health Science in Nutritional Medicine and is a Certified Practising Nutritionist registered with both ANTA and AARPN. She brings six years of clinic experience and integrates functional testing tools into her practice. Her approach is personalised, evidence-informed and genuinely tailored to you — not a generic meal plan.
