Simple Nutrition with Ivan
Simple, practical and evidence-based nutrition for real life.
There's a lot of nutrition advice out there, and not all of it deserves your attention. I help you make sense of the science, cut through the confusion and make better food and lifestyle choices without turning your life upside down.
“We start with the week you actually have, not the one a diet plan wishes you had.”

The problem
One day carbs are the problem. The next day it's sugar, seed oils, dairy, fruit, or apparently eating after 6pm. With so much conflicting advice, it's easy to feel like eating well requires a rulebook.
It doesn't.
Simple Nutrition with Ivan is about taking the science out of the nutrition textbooks, social media debates and complicated diet plans, and making it useful for everyday life.
Less confusion. Better choices. Nutrition that actually fits your life.
Meet Ivan
Hi, I'm Ivan, a nutritionist, educator and the person behind Simple Nutrition with Ivan.
My work is about bridging the gap between nutrition science and everyday life: taking evidence-based information and turning it into practical advice that makes sense at the dinner table, in the supermarket, at work, in the gym and everywhere in between.
I'm not here to give you another list of foods you're “allowed” and “not allowed” to eat. I'm here to help you understand why nutrition matters, make informed choices and build habits that can actually stick.
Ivan
Who this is for
Whether you're looking for yourself or for your team, it starts with a conversation, not a template.
Personalised nutrition for your real life.
From improving your everyday eating habits to working towards specific nutrition and weight-management goals, we look beyond a meal plan and understand the person behind it.
Better health at work starts with better health conversations.
Bring practical, evidence-based nutrition education to your workplace, organisation or community through talks, wellness sessions, activations and tailored programmes.
Not sure which fits? Send me a message and I'll tell you straight.
How it works
Understand the science. Make it practical. Live normally.
Nutrition starts with understanding. I break down the science so you can make sense of what your body needs, and why.
There's no universal diet that works perfectly for everyone. Your goals, lifestyle, preferences and circumstances matter.
Knowledge only becomes useful when you can apply it. The goal is to build realistic habits that work in your actual life, not an imaginary perfect one.

Practical recipes, nutrition tips and useful resources for everyday life.

Carbs get blamed for almost everything. Here's what the evidence actually says, and why cutting them out completely is rarely the answer.
Straight answers
If yours isn't here, ask it directly. I answer every message myself.
I work with people looking to improve their nutrition, manage their weight, develop healthier eating habits or better understand how nutrition fits into their lifestyle. Where appropriate, I also work with organisations and workplaces.
Yes, where a personalised meal plan is appropriate. But nutrition support isn't simply about handing you a list of meals. We look at your goals, lifestyle, preferences and challenges to develop an approach you can realistically follow.
Not necessarily. Sustainable nutrition is rarely about changing everything overnight. We focus on practical changes that make sense for you and build from there.
Yes. Weight management can involve much more than calories and exercise, so we look at your overall eating patterns, lifestyle, habits and goals to develop a realistic approach.
Yes. Most consultations happen online over video call, so we can work together wherever you are. Once you book a call, you'll get a link to join at the time you've chosen; in-person sessions may be possible depending on location, so just mention it when you get in touch.
Yes. I provide nutrition talks, workplace wellness sessions, educational programmes, activations and nutrition consultancy.
Simply get in touch. We'll start by understanding what you're looking for and determine the best way forward.
