Jess Riman - Sports Nutrition
I am a SENr accredited nutritionist and PhD student at Northumbria University. I did my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at Leeds Beckett University in Sport and Exercise Science and Sport and Exercise Nutrition respectively. Throughout my time studying and as a nutritionist I have worked with a variety of athletes including, elite cricket players, GB rowers, Paralympians, Premier League football players and Rugby League players. I very much encourage a food first approach in line with the SENr principles and I am passionate about empowering athletes to make informed food choices to support their health and performance.
