Meet your sports nutritionist

Angelene Alexandrakis

Hi! I’m Ange. With a strong background in sports and teaching, I know firsthand the challenges of balancing food and performance. During high school, my focus shifted from fuelling my body to achieving aesthetic goals, leading to long-term issues that I'm still addressing. I wish I had the knowledge I now have about nutrition and its impact on performance back then.

As a certified sports nutritionist and teacher, my experiences with health conditions like hypothyroidism, endometriosis, and PCOS have deepened my passion for helping others, especially young athletes. I started Athletic Fuel School to share what I’ve learned and support students in developing a healthy relationship with
food.

“We believe nutrition plays a significant role in the health, well-being, growth and development of adolescents and that this age group should be exposed to a range of topics related to everyday and sports nutrition.”

Our goal is to make nutrition education engaging and interactive so students enjoy learning and get the most out of each session.

Join us for accessible and effective nutrition, right where students thrive—
in the heart of the school community.
