A weightlifter’s blackout is a rare but potentially serious issue that can affect lifting performance. Despite its impact, there is a notable lack of specific research on the topic. Dr. Sinead Roberts shares her experience in successfully managing the condition among British weightlifters.

Sinead is an SENR-registered Performance Nutritionist with a background in cell metabolism and exercise physiology. She helps both recreational and elite athletes understand their physiology and nutritional needs to optimise training, recovery, and performance. Central to her philosophy is the belief that every body is different—and that individual needs evolve over time. What the body requires depends on factors such as sport, training cycle, load, age, sex, genetics, stress, and physiological state. Just as importantly, personal preferences and lifestyle matter too. Food is not only a tool to drive performance but also something to be enjoyed and shared.

Enjoy!
