Welcome to John Gaule Nutrition

a high performance online nutrition consultancy.

About Me

John Gaule

I feel very lucky that I get to help people achieve their goals and dreams every week. It is my ‘leave no stone unturned’ approach that has given my clients such success to date. Whether that’s assisting someone with a body composition goal, helping an athlete improve their performance or freeing up a clients headspace around food, I make sure that as a coach I have ticked every box to give my client the best possible chance of achieving their goals.

As an online nutritionist, something that I always remind my clients is, that they are the one who makes the change. They are the one who is pulling the trigger on their habits on a day-to-day basis and thus getting closer to their desired goals. I am just a guide/facilitator to help steer them towards their goals using a variety of tools. Once they realize that, an overwhelming feeling of empowerment is present which is priceless.

I’ve also had the opportunity to deliver presentations to a variety of different groups including transition year students from secondary schools around Ireland as well as to both gyms and GAA clubs in the Munster and Leinster areas.

Outside of my work, I volunteer with the Waterford Under 15 and 16 GAA teams. I have a strong interest in soccer, GAA, hiking, resistance training and animals. I have a grá for all things endurance – so, whether that’s swimming, cycling, running, kayaking etc., I am fascinated by what the human body is truly capable of.  While we may have a finite timeline, we do have unlimited potential.

While I am a nutritionist based in Waterford, I work primarily online. If you have any questions about your nutrition, or are interested in learning more about coaching, please get in touch.

My Mission

What do John’s clients say?

New PB in the Cork City Marathon!

“Prior to working with John I was having a lot of stomach discomfort during my runs. I got to the stage where I was eating very little or avoiding food altogether before my runs. This left me with less energy and my training dipped as a result. John guided me on what foods to eat, how much to eat and the timing of them also. I now know exactly what works for me and what doesn’t work for me. Since working with John my training has improved a lot and I no longer have the stomach discomfort. I also just set a new PB in the Cork city Marathon!”

John’s knowledge and coaching style is second to none

“I didn’t realize how a few small changes to my diet could make such a difference. I was going into my races with a lot of anxiety as there was a constant feeling of not knowing if I was fueling myself correctly or not.

I have had a lot of bad race experiences in the past so getting over this has made such a difference to my races and not only from a performance perspective but I am also enjoying them a hell of a lot more too! John’s knowledge and coaching style is second to none”

Professional Soccer Player – ‘feel the strongest I have in my career’

I’ve played football my whole life and l’ve always had a problem with my nutrition as I knew what to eat but I would always struggle to eat the right amount of calories that I needed to recover and keep playing football at the level I do. I got in touch with John and from that day l’ve had so much energy everyday not only in football but at home also with my 3 young kids and I now feel the strongest I have in my career.

Intercounty hurler – I got into the best shape

I have worked with John in the past. I play intercounty hurling and nutrition was one area where I needed to really improve to reach my goals. John simplified everything whilst educating me to broaden my knowledge of nutrition and give me the tools to be able to look at a plate of food and nearly know if it was the right or wrong thing to be eating. I got into the best shape I have ever been in and this shown on the field..

I could not recommend John highly enough and if your looking to improve your nutrition or educate yourself on nutrition for any reason no matter what the goal is, John is your man.

Workshop – brilliant presentation, full of information that was clear, concise, easy to understand

John came to visit our Irish dance class to chat with the dancers & gave a brilliant presentation, full of information that was clear, concise easy to understand & apply to daily life, training days & competition days alike. We were delighted!

The weekly check-ins with John made everything much more attainable

“John’s guidance has made a huge difference to my performance both in training and on the field. My energy levels are in a much better place which is down to changes in both my nutrition and lifestyle. What I liked most about working with John was how simple he made the process for me. Each week, we set small, manageable goals for me to achieve and it really added up after the 12 weeks.

I have had a few once-off consultations with different nutritionists in the past who were very knowledgeable and provided a good service but in hindsight having lots of dietary changes thrown at me all at once felt a bit overwhelming and it was for this reason why I usually quit after a few weeks. The weekly check-ins with John made everything much more attainable for me”.

Ran my best half marathon

I would highly recommend John Gaule Nutrition. I started working with John in order to enhance my performance on my running events and overall health and have achieved great results, ran my best half marathon (Cork City) under his supervision and it could not have been better. John is very knowledgeable, extremely clear in his communication and covers all possible points, a real first class service!

Foundation of knowledge provided

Started working with John to get a better understanding of how nutrition affects both my day to day and sports life and it’s safe to say he delivered on both aspects way above my expectations. John puts the extra effort in to listen and understand your work/life commitments and offers excellent guidance to help progress to your personal goals.

I started with a simple goal of getting better day to day energy levels but now I feel I can take on some personal bests in running thanks to the foundation of knowledge provided – would highly recommend John to anyone who wants to learn more about what you are eating!

Feel more energized and motivated in my daily life

“As a mother of three young children, finding the time and energy to focus on my own goals was a constant struggle. However, since starting nutrition coaching with John, I have been able to make significant improvements in my health and well-being. John has provided me with the tools and knowledge to make better food choices, and has been very supportive throughout the process. His guidance has not only helped me to lose weight, but also to feel more energized and motivated in my daily life, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their nutrition”

The goal of losing 7-8kg’s but we achieved so much more

“Working with John for the last 5 months was one of the best investments in myself to date. I signed up at the beginning of the second lockdown with the goal of losing 7-8kg’s but we achieved so much more. My mindset both in terms of how I view food as well as my own body has changed dramatically – I don’t worry about food and how it might affect my weight (which is a huge weight lifted off my shoulders!!) and I feel so much more confident in myself. I also can’t get over how much more energy I have now! This is all down to John’s guidance. His level of detail in the weekly check-ins was something that I had not experienced before. I can’t praise him enough for his level of encouragement and assistance. I now feel confident enough to take on the next chapter by myself”

– Sarah, 38 Weight Loss & Relationship with Food

Make positive changes that stick

“Working with John was such a positive experience for me. He was always supportive and encouraging, and he helped me to stay accountable and motivated to make the changes I needed to succeed. I would absolutely recommend John to any athlete who wants to improve their game through nutrition coaching. He is truly an expert in his field and has a gift for helping people make positive changes that stick”

Advice on my protein and carbohydrate intake has made huge differences

John has helped me with increasing my physical size for GAA through his nutritional guidance. His advice on my protein and carbohydrate intake has made huge differences coupled with my gym work. I didn’t wanted to radically change the types of food I eat and the way I eat too much because I felt that it was okay. So John helped me reach my nutritional goals with useful habits and ideas which I incorporated into my routine.
