GET TO KNOW ME

I WILL HELP YOU MOVE FORWARD

​

I am the founder of  SPOREL be well!

SPOREL is my family name, which in Turkish means SPORTHAND :)

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. 

​

I have worked full-time in the Molecular Biology and Genetics departments of Boğaziçi University and İstanbul Technical University for the duration of 16 years. I was involved in research and took part in education. After leaving the academic environment I continued my education in the field of nutrition and wellness and successfully completed the postgraduate ‘Sports Nutrition Diploma’ offered by the International Olympic Committee. I have completed ‘Integrative Sports Nutrition' and ‘Performance Nutrition' courses. I apply a functional as well as holistic approach to nutrition and performance.

​

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 am also the first functional medicine certified health coach in my country. This gives me the ability to apply coaching and motivational interview approaches in an empathic atmosphere to athletic and wellness clients.

​

I have been involved in sports from the early ages of my life. My sports carrier 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.
