Bec Stone Nutrition

I am a qualified nutritionist, personal trainer and spin class instructor. I’m a former national level athlete, and regularly compete in recreational triathlons and long distance trail events.

I strongly believe in using whole foods and natural supplements to fuel the body for optimal athletic performance, recovery and muscle development.

This is my website where I’ll post about everything related to nutrition – the latest research, recipes, and things to watch out for in our advertising saturated world.

New Edition to the Family coming in June 2023 & Trimester 1 Nausea Tips

29 Mar 2023

2023 is ticking along and as each day passes we get closer to having a new edition join our little family. I think Laika the dog might still be in denial of this news, but I’m sure she will adjust once the baby arrives.

Trimester 1 involved a little more nausea (and food not staying down) than I hoped for, but it really wasn’t that bad. Below are a few suggestions I have for anyone who needs them while feeling a bit green in trimester 1, fingers crossed they work for you or your loved one.

Sports Performance and the Menstrual Cycle – Part 2 – Luteal Phase

1 Jul 2022

Throughout the female menstrual cycle our hormones fluctuate, causing physiological changes in our body. Learning to train & eat around your cycle can make a huge impact on your sports performance and recovery.

During the luteal phase of our cycle the hormone progesterone is high. While progesterone is fantastic for mood (amongst other things), it can make us feel more fatigued, sluggish and less powerful when we exercise. However, this does not mean that you can’t get a PB during the luteal phase! We just need to understand and adjust our training and food intake to help us perform at our best.

Sports Performance and the Menstrual Cycle – Part 1 – Menstruation

24 May 2022

Sports performance during menstruation is something I wish was talked about more often. I am seeing a large number of female athletes in clinic who tell me that they fear having their period on race day or during a heavy training week because they are worried it will impair their performance.

I know menstruation can definitely be a hard time for some females, they can feel lethargic, bloated, suffer from cramps and can bleed quite heavily. This is quite common but this doesn’t have to be your normal!
