Declan Hallwood

Declan Hallwood has spent the better part of a decade writing about sports nutrition and training alongside it. He has worked his way through more protein powders, pre-workouts and recovery products than he can count, which makes him hard to impress and quick to spot marketing dressed up as science.

At Best Exercise he leads nutrition coverage, from protein and creatine to electrolytes and bars. He digs into ingredient lists, doses and the evidence behind the claims, and he is careful to separate what is genuinely useful from what is an expensive placebo. Any health claim is backed by a reputable source.

Declan's view is that most people need far fewer supplements than the industry would like them to buy. His job is to point you to the few that earn their place.
