About me

(Bear with me, whilst I re-write this):

I have over 30 years experience working in private practice and elite professional sport.

My work focusses on supporting individual health and performance goals, from weight management to elite sports performance.

In my private practice, my clients range from TV, Film and Music celebrities prepping for their next project, where they need to both look and function at their best, to entrepreneurs and company executives training for an IronMan Triathlon, or “simply” to get in great shape.

In addition to working with individual clients and athletes, I am also a Nutrition Consultant to a number of elite professional football and rugby teams in the UK and Europe to include Stade Toulousain, the most successful rugby club in Europe.

Recent notable elite sport roles have included being nutritionist to the Belgium Men's National Football Team (AKA the Red Devils), when they were ranked the No.1 FIFA team in the world (2020 UEFA Euros and 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers). Laurent was also lead nutritionist to the Egypt Men's National Football Team for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, and was the Nutritionist to the British Fencing World Class program supporting the Team GB squad for the 2016 Rio Olympics. Laurent has also been the team nutritionist to London Irish, London Scottish, and London Broncos professional Rugby Clubs.

I am also the Founder of The Institute of Performance Nutrition (“The IOPN”), based in London, which specialises in the training and development of professional Sport and Exercise Nutritionists.

I am based in Edinburgh, Scotland, but work with clients all over the globe. In my spare time, I pursue an almost daily regimen of physical training, as well as weekly Thai Boxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu sessions. I love exploring the beautiful Scottish Highlands on foot, and undertaking sailing trips along the West Coast of Scotland, whilst I also work towards my YachtMaster certifications.
