Hello, I'm Eniolanimi Badmus. Eniola, or Nimi for short.
I'm a strategist, an athlete, a nutritionist, a performance chef, and a visual storyteller.
I've struggled so much with finding a niche even though part of my work involves telling my clients and people around me to find one. Anyway, I've realised I find peace in chaos. You know when you do three things at once, effortlessly, and find joy in all of them? Yes. That's my kind of person. And luckily, there's a name for us.
We're called Potentialites.
Not weirdos.
What I love
There are four things I love so much in this world.
Athletes
Because I was one for seven years of my life, and because I understand what it actually takes to be a professional athlete. The struggles, the pain, the desires, the wins, the losses. I know them all.
Nutrition
Because I've lived on that side of it too. I grew up underweight, without ever finding the right nutrition, and I suffered the nutritional deficiencies that came with being an African athlete. I know exactly how much that costs me.
Strategy
Because that's what I eat for food. I call myself the Analytical Queen. If you can think it, I can help you execute it. I walk around with a book and a pen because my brain moves faster than my hands.
…And Storytelling
Because nothing sounds more beautiful than a well-woven idea landing in someone's heart.
So, for the sake of clarity, here's what I actually do.
I'm a Sport Nutritionist & Performance Chef. I work primarily with African athletes and women who are underweight, and those dealing with hormonal issues, to understand their real nutritional needs, build the right solutions for them, and get them performing at their best.

The Performance Private Chef

- Built for celebration: a win, a milestone, a birthday, or simply a meal worth marking, because performance and indulgence were never meant to be opposites.
Sound familiar?
The people I love working with.
The athlete running on empty
You train hard, but you're flat by the end of the week, recovery drags, and competition-day food is guesswork. You need a plan built around your actual training load, using food you already know.
That's meThe woman who's been told to “just eat more”
You've tried to gain weight for years and nothing sticks. Your appetite, energy and cycle feel like they're working against you. You need someone to look at all of it together and build something you can keep up.
That's meThe team with a big week coming
Camp, competition week or a win worth celebrating, and you want food that fuels performance and still feels like a treat. Afro-fusion, fine dining, planned around your goals.
That's me
