GET TO KNOW ME

I WILL HELP YOU MOVE FORWARD

Empowering You to Reclaim Your Metabolic Health

​

I am the founder of  SPOREL be well!

SPOREL is my family name, which in Turkish translates into 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 am a Sports Nutritionist (IOC), Nutrition Network Coach Practitioner, Insulin IQ Certified Coach, and Certified Metabolic Health Practitioner (MHP) dedicated to helping people—especially Master Athletes (35+)—restore their metabolic health and optimize their 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 wellbeing 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 the early ages of my life. My sports carrier started with swimming and athletics then continued with professional basketball. I played basketball for BeÅŸiktaÅŸ, 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.
