When I first started working with Hanlie, I’d just been diagnosed with a stress fracture to the second metatarsal in my foot and couldn’t understand why it had happened. Through the 6 months I worked with her, I learnt the importance of maintaining a good bone density (especially as a woman), the benefits of protein in my recovery (especially as a vegan) and the importance of fuelling your workouts (before, during and after!). I feel so much better physically and mentally, not only has my relationship with food improved but so has my times in my running! It’s so important working with a professional if you have big big dreams.

Dear Hanlie, Thank you so much for the guidance provided to us on our journey. The plans you provided are designed in such a way it takes our nutritional requirements into account and fall in line with the active lifestyles we live. Specifically tailored with our desired results in mind ('cause be honest, no one person's the same). By following your plans we've also gained a better understanding of 'ourselves'. We're still allowed that drink or box of chocolates we crave but this time within moderation, and to be honest we've been quite happy with the results so far :). We highly recommend Hanlie to anyone requiring advice or guidance with nutrition in mind and a goal they'd like to achieve.

I took my 14 year old son to see Hanlie. He is a swimmer and runner. Hanlie helped him to improve his protein intake, recommended the best supplements for his age and balanced the timing of snacks and hydration with his very busy program. Hanlie was very professional and practical. The advice was very easy to implement and we both learnt a lot about nutrition and sport. I highly recommend Hanlie as a sports dietitian.

Hanlie helped me to loose weight for my wedding. I've been to other dieticians in the past, but I struggled to loose weight. By the time I started seeing Hanlie I was very frustrated and discouraged. Hanlie displayed a lot of empathy with my situation and took the time to really listen to my previous experiences and exercise patterns. With her help and guidance I quickly saw results, which helped me to stay positive. She was always available to answer questions via email. Hanlie encourages clean eating and her diet plans were very easy to follow.

Hanlie has been very helpful with organizing a diet plan that suits my needs for rugby. I have never been in such good shape and so energized after following her plan. Our goal was to shed some fat, replace it with muscle and allowing me to compete at the highest level I can. Fortunately, we achieved this goal with flying colours. Also, Hanlie answered every question I had with great respect and at any time of day when I needed her. Hanlie changed the way I look at eating for peak athletic performance!

Hanlie has helped me in leaps and bounds to firstly lose weight from 125KGs to 100KGs. By sticking to a eating plan and integrating exercise as part of that it worked a charm. Hanlie is thorough, loves helping others and is indeed highly recommended by me. From 125KGs to now a triathlete.

Hanlie was an excellent investment in my health! She was knowledgeable, compassionate, and kind. She helped me a lot in figuring out how my body responds to different food groups, as well as pointed me towards healthier alternatives so I wouldn’t get stuck in a “healthy diet = no fun” mindset. I loved working with her!

Hanlie is excellent in her field. Over the past ten years, she has helped me with healthy weight loss, maintenance and nutrition advice from a training perspective (what to eat before, during and after training, etc). She helped a lot of people that I know achieve great results. She is professional and to the point, kind and supportive. She really just wants the best for you. I'll recommend her to anyone.

Hanlie has dealt with me and my sporting nutrition requirements as a individual, which in my experience has been extremely hard to find. Given my unique set of challenges, she has not only helped me with figuring out the correct formula for my endurance running and training requirements, but has helped uncover some crucial dietary changes that have improved my general well-being and my training for the better! Hanlie has a wide and in depth knowledge of supplements and researches extensively to find the best options. She is extremely committed and interested in my progress and finding solutions that meet my needs!

I met Hanlie earlier this year in March and signed up for a 6 month program as part of my recovery and weight loss journey. Hanlie is friendly and understanding while being a professional at all times. I found her approach refreshing and very supportive on a physical, metal and emotional level. She goes above and beyond dealing with each individual client in a way that supports their unique situation and her guidance has remained with me. I can unreservedly recommend Hanlie to anyone in need of weight loss, weight managent or nutrition guidance.

Hanlie is passionate about helping sports people reach their full potential with a nutritional plan that complements their training. She has offered valuable advice and tips during her talks at Atlantic Triathlon Club functions. A bonus is that she is also runner and cyclist herself which makes her relate that much more to her patients.

If you are looking for a sports Dietitian LOOK NO FURTHER!! I started to train for my first Ironman, and knew Nutrition is really important, on and off the "course". I decided to do DNYAnalysis, - (Sport,Health&Diet) - LIFE CHANGING - a Must for any athlete! Hanlie gave me feedback on my results and helped me with an eating plan - the plan had different options for hard/long training days , easy days and rest days. Hanlie also helped me with an eating plan the week before Ironman and the day of Ironman!

I have difficult eating habits due to my Gluten allergy and by also being vegetarian. I absolutely love that Hanlie created the perfect diet plan for me to follow. By just changing a few eating habits, it made all my inflammation from previous workout injuries disappear. I could recommend anyone who eats a plant-based diet to try Hanlie Jordaan Dietetics. It will change your life as it did mine.

Hanlie and her team are absolutely stars. Incredibly informative and very knowledgeable. She created a meal-plan for bodybuilding which is exceptionally easy to follow. If you are keen on fitness and want to build muscle, I'd definitely recommend paying her a visit.

My experience with Hanlie was exceptional. I had been struggling with managing my eating plan having changed my routine to Heavy weightlifting, Functional training and swimming. Most times I was exhausted irrespective of having enough sleep, excessively eating and gaining weight. For the 6 months with Hanlie, my goal was learning how to sustain myself adequately with my eating to support my training and maintaining a healthy weight. With the appropriate eating plan, designed supplements for my physical activities, I was able to regain better energy, lose weight while maintaining my muscle mass and have a better knowledge of food to support & sustain physical activities. It’s a team effort and I appreciate her realistic approach. She is very knowledgeable and can support with whatever questions or uncertainties you may have as a client.

Working with Hanlie has been amazing! Before I started with her, I was so lost, under fueled, prone to IBS disturbances and exhausted. I tried everything and anything but always landed up overwhelmed with misinformation and feeling helpless. UNTIL I found her! Hanlie helped me understand my body and correctly fuel myself for my training/racing needs. with her help, I have never felt stronger, more recovered and happy! She is dedicated and provides insightful information. She explains the why behind everything, which is so useful. With the help of Hanlie, I have been able to reach my wildest dreams of running - Achieving many PB's, placing on podiums as well as getting rid of my IBS issues which have made me feel so confident in my skin. I would highly recommend Hanlie!
