Vanessa Sturman

Featured regularly in the media, including Sky News, BBC Radio, and LBC, Vanessa Sturman is a Multi-Award-Winning Speaker (two prestigious awards from The Speaker Awards) and Health and Nutrition Coach. She helps busy leaders, corporate teams, and athletes build practical, sustainable nutrition and lifestyle habits that fit real life to support performance, resilience, energy, and cognitive focus.

Vanessa is known for her high-energy, inclusive, and practical approach. She moves beyond restrictive dieting, showing even the busiest professionals how to use enjoyable, flavour-filled food and simple shifts that work with their lifestyle and culture. Her expertise lies in helping people maintain energy levels with everyday habits and food they love, bridging personal performance, business performance, and planetary wellbeing, especially when UK businesses lose an estimated £100-138 billion annually to poor staff health and productivity.

Drawing on her ethnically diverse background as a person of colour raised by an immigrant mother and grandmother, Vanessa makes nutrition culturally relevant and celebrates food, budgeting, and resourcefulness.

A University of Cambridge alumna (BA Hons Social Anthropology, MPhil Biological Anthropology), Vanessa combines scientific rigour with her experience as a published recipe developer, Health Expert for BBC Radio Oxfordshire and Berkshire, and past role as a Behaviour Change and Sustainability Consultant. Having overcome a binge eating disorder in her youth, she is a powerful advocate for the link between nutrition and mental health. Whether delivering keynote speeches, workshops, panels, or coaching, Vanessa provides practical tools to help build habits supporting health and performance. Her corporate clients have included Fulham Football Club, Octopus Electric Vehicles, Cambridge University, and Brooks Macdonald.
