BARBELL DIETITIAN
About
Meet the Barbell Dietitian
I’m Keenan — an Accredited Practising Dietitian and competitive weightlifter, specialising in performance-focused nutrition for athletes and active individuals.
​
I hold a Master of Nutrition and Dietetics, following a Bachelor of Nutrition & Food Science, and have worked across clinical, private practice, and performance-based settings. I currently work alongside multiple businesses, supporting clients from competitive athletes through to individuals accessing medical nutrition therapy via Medicare and private health.
​
My primary focus is working with athletes — including weightlifters, powerlifters, CrossFit athletes, runners, and endurance athletes — who want to fuel training, improve performance, and recover effectively. Alongside this, I also support individuals seeking evidence-based nutrition support for weight management, diabetes, PCOS, cholesterol, and overall metabolic health.
​
As both a clinician and an athlete, I understand the physical and mental demands that come with training, competition, and balancing nutrition with real life. My work is grounded in evidence-based practice, but always delivered in a way that’s practical, flexible, and sustainable.
My Philosophy
Empowering Health Through Nutrition
I don’t believe there’s one “right” way to eat. Everyone trains differently, lives differently, and responds differently — so nutrition needs to reflect that.​ My work is grounded in evidence-based practice, but shaped by real life. I focus on consistency over perfection, clarity over complexity, and strategies that support performance without taking over your life.
​
Whether I’m working with athletes or individuals seeking medical nutrition support, my goal is the same: to help people feel confident in how they fuel, understand why they’re doing what they’re doing, and build habits that actually last.
​
Nutrition should feel supportive and empowering — not restrictive, confusing, or stressful.
