GET TO KNOW ME

I WILL HELP YOU MOVE FORWARD

Empowering You to Reclaim Your Metabolic Health

​

My name is Emine Sporel Ozakat.

I am from Istanbul, Türkiye.

I’m a mother of three grown children, married for 38 years, and a very proud nana to a very handsome cat. 

Professionally, I am a Sports Nutritionist (IOC), a Nutrition Network Coach Practitioner, Insulin IQ coach and a Certified Metabolic Health Practitioner.

I’m also the founder of SPOREL Be Well and SPOREL Academy.

My background is in Human Biology and Health, Toxicology, and Pharmacology, but over time my work has evolved into something more integrative — bringing together performance nutrition, metabolic health, functional medicine, and coaching.

For many years, I’ve worked with athletes of all ages. I’ve also supported individuals wanting to optimize both their metabolic health and cognitive performance.

​

What guides my work is a simple belief:

Metabolic health is the greatest ergogenic aid for life performance.

​

I am an expert in empowering you with evidence-based scientific knowledge on your metabolic health.

Knowledge is powerful, but often not enough to take action(s).

I will support you in bridging the gap between knowledge and action.

I will walk next to you in your wellness journey to optimize your weight and performance. ​

​My work focuses on preventing and reversing the most common and most modifiable metabolic conditions, including:

• Insulin resistance

• Metabolic syndrome (hypertension, elevated blood sugar, enlarged waist circumference, dyslipidemia)

• Pre-diabetes & Type 2 diabetes

• Type 3 diabetes (cognitive decline/dementia)

• Hypertension

• Obesity

• Excess visceral fat

• Cardiovascular disease

​

When metabolic health improves, everything changes:
Your energy stabilizes, your performance increases, your body composition improves, and your overall sense of well-being returns.

​

My approach combines evidence-based sports nutrition, metabolic health science, and personalized lifestyle coaching so you can feel healthier, stronger, and more capable—both on and off the field.​​​

​

My education in various fields, including human physiology, toxicology, pharmacology, neurobiology, nutrition, molecular biology, nutrigenetics, and nutrigenomics, makes it possible to use a more systemic approach with my clients where genetics, biochemistry, and lifestyle habits are all addressed in an individualized manner.​​

​

I have been involved in sports from an early ages of my life. My sports career started with swimming and athletics, then continued with professional basketball. I played basketball for Beşiktaş, one of the country’s top teams, and made my way into the national women’s varsity team of English Universities during my studies in England. My engagement in sports continues with the master's category of tennis as I regularly train and take part in national and international (ITF) master's tennis tournaments.
