Accredited Sports Nutritionist
Melanie Guy is an accredited sports nutritionist in Australia with expertise in performance nutrition, body composition modification and sustainable lifestyle change. She provides evidence-based, personalised guidance to athletes and clients seeking improved performance, healthier body composition and long-term behaviour change.
Background
I’m Mel — an accredited sports nutritionist and unapologetic foodie. My love of food, fitness and nutrition goes deep, but it was a difficult chapter in 2020 that truly shaped my path. After receiving misleading information, I developed disordered eating behaviours that lead to negative changes to my physical and mental health. Seeking help from a qualified professional set me on a different course: I was committed to learning the correct way and to becoming the change I wanted to see in the nutrition industry.
I transitioned from a radiography degree to study nutrition, completing a Bachelor of Health Science (Nutrition) and a Certificate in Applied Sports Nutrition. Those qualifications, combined with lived experience, are the foundation of my practice. I help people reach fitness, performance and body composition goals without sacrificing a healthy relationship with food.
My approach is realistic, flexible and focused on sustainable, long-term change. I work to remove rigid rules and guilt, and to build practical habits that fit real lives — whether you’re training for sport, aiming to improve body composition, or just want to feel better in your day-to-day.
When I’m not supporting clients, you’ll find me gardening, getting outdoors, painting, baking, or catching up with friends and family — usually around good food.

“Mel’s method is incredible. I completely changed my eating habits, but never felt like I was missing out on anything.”
I believe that in a world of modern maladies caused by work and lifestyle, food is often the best medicine. I teach my clients how to make small dietary changes that stack up big gains over time.
