About

I grew up in Tauranga where I was involved in various sports such as rugby, basketball, volleyball and beach volleyball. My passion for sport and health made studying nutrition a natural choice for me.

I headed down to Dunedin after high school and completed a Bacholer of Science in Human Nutrition and a Master of Applied Science in Advanced Nutrition Practice (with first class honours), both from the University of Otago. I am an associate registered nutritionist with the Nutrition Society of New Zealand

After University I headed to Auckland where I began working as a sports nutritionist with various professional rugby teams, including Super Rugby team The Blues and NPC rugby teams North Harbour and Counties Manukau. In this role I provided nutritional support to a range of athletes - from academy players who are just starting on their nutrition journey, to current international players.

Alongside my work in Rugby, I began working with a number of Athletes through my private business, Hayden Christie Nutrition. I currently Reside in Sydney and split my time between working with the Roosters NRL side and on my private business
