About us.

Ignite Performance Nutrition (IPN) is a performance-driven sport nutrition consultancy committed to helping athletes maximise their competitive potential. We deliver evidence-based nutritional strategies designed to improve training quality, optimise recovery, support body composition goals, and enhance overall performance outcomes.

IPN was founded by Tom Hunt, a senior international water polo athlete with extensive firsthand experience of the physical, psychological, and nutritional demands inherent to high-performance sport. Alongside this competitive background, Tom holds an MSc in Sport and Exercise Nutrition and a BSc in Sports Performance, ensuring that all guidance provided is grounded in both scientific expertise and applied athletic understanding.

This combined academic and athletic foundation enables IPN to offer a unique perspective on the challenges faced by developing and competitive athletes, ensuring our services integrate rigorous scientific evidence with real-world performance insight.

Our mission is to empower athletes with practical, personalised, and scientifically informed nutrition support that translates into measurable improvements in performance. We believe that effective nutrition should be accessible, adaptable, and aligned with both sporting demands and individual wellbeing.


We work with athletes across a range of competitive levels and sporting backgrounds who are committed to self improvement and performance development.

Whether preparing for competition, managing training loads, or seeking to advance to the next performance tier, our approach supports athletes in achieving their goals with clarity and confidence.

At Ignite Performance Nutrition, we do more than provide guidance we cultivate performance from the inside out.
