Culinary nutrition coaching- for better health, fitness and performance

With over 30 years’ experience as a chef in some of London’s leading restaurants, alongside nutrition and personal training qualifications, I combine evidence-based nutrition science with culinary skills to create healthy, flavourful food that you can confidently cook, enjoy, and use to support your fitness and lifestyle goals.

Performance culinary nutrition, made accessible.

Chef & Shuffle brings the level of food, nutrition and training support usually found in elite sport into everyday life — making it practical and accessible, and helping you adapt the foods you already enjoy to support the way you want to look, feel and perform.

Whether you’re working on your own or with others who share the same goals, I’ll help you understand what changes to make, how to put them into practice, and build the cooking skills and confidence to make it part of everyday life — even if you’re a complete novice in the kitchen.

6 week program- with a different nutrition theme each week

"I play football every week and train in the gym, but was finding recovery after matches really hard. I’d been focusing heavily on protein, thinking that was the best way to stay lean and fit as I got older. Joby helped me understand that I wasn’t eating enough carbohydrate to support my training, and also helped me balance the gym with football so I wasn’t constantly overloading my legs. I’m not much of a cook, so he showed me some really simple meals built around foods I chose — including a healthy chicken kebab. The advice was straightforward, practical and, most importantly, it worked."

"I play a lot of tennis and wanted to build more strength and muscle, particularly after picking up a few injuries. Joby helped me simplify what I was doing in the gym and find a more manageable approach that worked alongside my tennis. I’m already a confident cook, so we focused on small changes — increasing my protein without relying on shakes, and finding more plant-based options as I wanted to eat less meat. It was about improving the balance of what I was already doing rather than completely changing how I eat."

I ski with a race team, and often struggle with fatigue by the afternoon, especially if we have fitness training too. I am a fussy eater, but Joby helped me find a proper breakfast that I like, then showed me some easy snacks to eat through the day so I have more energy without feeling sluggish. He also helped with what I was eating in the evenings, and came up with pasta meals that work for me. It was all really easy to follow, and I’ve definitely got more energy on the slopes now. I have already booked time with him for my pre-season fitness

"I invited some important clients to my house for dinner and Joby took care of the whole evening.I booked him for his Michelin star pedigree, and was not disappointed. One of my guests was gluten-free, so he even made fresh gluten-free bread for her, alongside a menu that included turbot with Thai curried mussels and beef Wellington. The food was excellent, everything felt relaxed and well organised, and I was able to enjoy the evening with my guests rather than worry about what was happening in the kitchen."

"I’d been using GLP-1 medication to help with weight loss, but was worried about what would happen when I came off it. I worked with Joby for six weeks while I gradually reduced the dose, and then for another four weeks after stopping completely. He helped me understand much more about appetite, hunger and fullness, and how to structure my meals better. Rather than following a diet, we worked on simple changes that helped me eat enough to feel full without overeating. He also introduced some straightforward daily movement and exercises, which made being more active feel manageable. I’m still medication-free, and I finally have the tools to manage my weight with confidence."

Joby Wells: Culinary Nutrition Coach & Performance Chef

Throughout my career, I learned how to make food delicious—but nutrition was rarely part of the conversation.

In my 40s, despite exercising regularly, I found that my energy, fitness and body composition were no longer responding as I expected. Understanding how nutrition and exercise work together transformed my own approach to food.

Chef & Shuffle grew from that experience. I now combine my professional cooking background with nutrition and personal training to give clients informed, realistic support that goes beyond simply telling them what they should eat.
