Ruhan Nel

Rugby Player/ Professional Athlete

My name is Anthony Timoteus, and I am a middle- to long-distance runner, competing in events from 1500m on the track to half marathons on the road. My ultimate goal is to step up to the marathon and, eventually, ultra-marathon running. For over 20 years, I’ve lived by the belief that hard work pays the bills. That belief carried me through countless races and challenges, but I’ve come to realize that hard work alone isn’t enough. Recently, I made one of the best decisions of my career working with Hanli as my personal dietitian. With her guidance and a well-structured nutrition and training plan, I improved my half marathon time from 1:04:35 to 1:03:05 in a very short space of time. That progress gave me the confidence to take on the marathon, knowing I now have the right support behind me. As an athlete, having a dietitian is a game-changer. Correct fueling isn’t just an add-on — it’s the final boost that pushes you over the edge from good to great.

Runner/ Coach

Hanlie is very knowledgeable and can help any sports enthusiast to reach their best potential. She helped me a full nutrition plan and supplement recommendation to perform at my best. She also rents out an altitude tent, which I believed assistance in my performance.

Landie Greyling

Runner/ Business Owner

I can't recommend Hanlie enough. She’s been instrumental in my performance both as a runner and now as a cyclist. When I was struggling with extremely low iron levels, she didn’t just offer generic advice — she took the time to understand my training demands, lifestyle, and nutritional needs. Thanks to her guidance, my iron levels are now the best they’ve ever been, and I'm performing at an all-time high. Competitively, I’m stronger, more consistent, and feeling better than ever before. Her support has been a total game-changer in my athletic journey, and I’m beyond grateful for her expertise and dedication. If you're serious about your sport and want to take your health and performance to the next level, she’s the one to speak to!

Chloe Bishop

Runner & Cyclist/ Business Owner

As a runner living with diabetes, I had been struggling for a long time to find the right balance between my nutrition, supplements, and blood sugar control. No matter how hard I trained, I often felt sluggish during my runs, hit the wall early, and eventually started losing motivation to keep running. Seeing Hanlie Jordaan was my last resort, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the start, she listened to my challenges and designed a practical, effective nutrition plan tailored specifically to my needs. Her approach helped me lose weight, stabilise my blood sugar levels, and find the right combination of supplements that work perfectly for me. Since working with Hanlie, my performance has improved dramatically — I run stronger, feel energised, and no longer experience sugar crashes. My issues are truly a thing of the past. Hanlie is a brilliant and highly knowledgeable sports dietitian who genuinely cares about her clients. She has completely changed my health, my running, and my overall quality of life. I cannot thank her enough and would recommend her to any athlete serious about reaching their full potential.

Leon Oosthuizen

Runner/Accountant

Amazing!! Didn't realise the importance of nutrition until attempting my first Ironman 70.3. During my first attempt I ended up in hospital due to extreme cramps and not fueling correctly. After receiving a proper carbo-loading plan and race plan from SportsDietitian, I am happy to report no cramps for the Durban Ironman 70.3 and was able to enjoy the entire race pain free!!

Cale van der Westhuizen

Triathlete/Software Engineer

I was referred to Hanlie by an ortho after I was confirmed to have a stress reaction on my femur bone. Hanlie helped me understand what was missing in my diet day to day, as well as when training hard for an ultra running event. She also really changed my perspective on fuelling and what my body needs during training, as well as to help my body recover quicker. I would recommend Hanlie if you are looking to enhance your performance and to avoid injury due to under fuelling.

Janet Meyer

Ultra Runner/Project Manager

Consulting with Hanlie has been one of the most impactful decisions of my life. Her nutritional guidance has been instrumental in helping me achieve my health and fitness goals—from overcoming an eating disorder to successfully completing my first Ironman.

Janet Meyer

Ultra Runner/Project Manager

I wanted to take a moment to share my feedback on the meal plan. I am genuinely enjoying every aspect of it. Not only do I feel stronger and more energized when I’m on my bike, but I’ve also received numerous compliments from others about my progress. It's been rewarding to notice these positive changes both in my performance and my overall well-being. Hanlie is always quick to respond to emails / whatsapps and always happy to assist with any questions or uncertainties. She also took the time to explain supplements and nutrition to me along with very helpful links to meat free meals!

Charlene Curlewis

Cyclist/ Director

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.

Lizette Bannister

Triathlete/ Sales Rep

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.

Elizma van Milligen

Healthy Exerciser/ optomitrist

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.

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.

Marzanne Albertse

Mountain Biker- Triathlete/ Play Therapist

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!

Lee-Anne Pienaar

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 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.

Henry Rochester

Fitness enthusiast & Kung Fu/ Pilot

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.

Aubrey Conradie

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!

My health and performance have skyrocketed since I started working with Hanlie. The biggest surprise has been my resilience. Even with a massive increase in training load – from 45km to 110km per week – I haven't been sick once. On top of that, I've gained muscle and maintained my body fat. Her tailored approach has been incredibly effective. If you're looking for a sports dietician who prioritizes both performance and overall health, look no further.

Michael Ellis

I saw Hanlie to start a vegetarian diet plan to loose fat and gain muscle, and my experience has been incredible. I've had great success with my diet and am carrying on with it. The extensive knowledge Hanlie has allowed her to creat a very intricate diet plan that can be catered to anyone and has many different options and preferences. It's been great being able to follow this diet plan and I am extremely satisfied with the service.

I met Hanlie through sport, and through her social media learned that there is a lot of knowledge to unlock looking at my personal diet need in terms of sport. I continued to do the DNA Testing (Diet & Sport) with her. It was very informative and exciting to learn more about my body's needs. She prescribed a great diet plan along with suggested supplements 🙂

Caro Jordaan

Hanlie has assisted me to know exactly how my body reacts to certain exercises and also which foods compliment my body type.I use to just train and not really conncect my mind to the exersices .

Incredibly grateful for Hanlie and Anri. I came to see them because I was struggling to fuel efficiently during my training and long runs. Hanlie and Anri put together a detailed eating plan that helped me make sure I was getting the nutrition I needed to feel energized, avoid getting sick or an injury and achieve my running goals. This last weekend I managed to PB my marathon time quite substantially and I have no doubt that my fueling and nutrition before, during and after both my race and training played a huge role!

(Translated by Google) Hanlie Jordaan. I would definitely recommend sports dietitian if you are looking for how and what to use for workouts, pre races, during a race and post. My last half marathon went so well. I followed her eating plans and could clearly feel it making a big difference. I was never without energy and enjoyed it until the last step. (Original) Hanlie Jordaan.sport dieetkundige sal ek verseker aanbeveel as jy opsoek is na hoe en wat om te gebruik vir oefensessies, pre resies, tydens n resie en post.My afgelope half marathon het so goed gegaan. Haar eetplanne gevolg en kon duidelik voel dit maak n groot verskil. Was nooit sonder energie nie en het tot die laaste tree dit geniet.
