Matt began his interest in sports at an early age starting Karate at 12. These interests led to a life-time
obsession with all things training, nutritional and health related.
After gaining his instructors qualification in Karate, he went onto coach fitness at his local amateur boxing club.
After completing a degree in Political Philosophy at Bristol, Matt couldn't keep away from the health and fitness arena and qualified as a personal trainer; eventually running his own company in the City. This led to developing his other passion: nutrition. Matt undertook a further three years of study at the Institute of Optimum Nutrition.
He went on to spend time on Harley Street, specializing in elite sports, female hormonal health and body composition management.
The contacts he made through this work led to a spell, working as nutritionist with Millwall football club during which time they made the play-off for the Premiership and also qualified for the FA cup final.
In 2002 Matt started working with the England Rugby Team and was part of Clive Woodward's team that lifted the World Cup in 2003. He continues in the same role working with the England team and was a member of the team who against all the odds reached the final of the 2007 Rugby World Cup. Matt has worked with London Wasps, London Irish, Saracens and Leicester Rugby Clubs Sports Nutritionist.
Matt currently works UK Athletics team as they prepare for the Olympic Games in London in 2012.

Gavin Allinson - Sports Nutritionist
Gavin Allinson is a certified Sports Nutritionist with the International Society of Sports Nutrition (CISSN). Having studied Applied Biology at Bath University,
initially I used my scientific background selling medical equipment in hospitals.
At an Indoor Rowing Competition I met Steve Backley the 3 Time Olympic Javelin Medallist. I started working with Steve on one of his internet projects and through him I’ve been introduced to Paul Hurrion Putting coach for Padraig Harrington and Rory McILroy and Matt Lovell the UK Sports Nutritionist
Matt and Gavin started working together developing a Fat Loss System. Gavin was providing marketing and copywriting experience and Matt his technical excellence. As both worked together on Four Week Fat Loss it became apparent that Gavin's biology degree was helping him understand a lot of the technical concepts and he was forever quizzing Matt on different supplement and training regimes that he could use personally for his Indoor rowing competitions.
Matt suggested Gavin that he become a Registered Sports Nutrionist. initially Gavin wasn’t that interested as he was focused on developing his other businesses as well as looking after his young son.
However the lure of working with professional sports people became more appealing and Gavin decided to study to become a Certified Sports Nutritionist with the International Society of Sports Nutrition.
