Then you’re in the right place!
We’ll break down nutrition & exercise research and case studies into simple, actionable steps that can help you reach your goals.
About Nutrition Tactics
Dr. Jorn Trommelen
Nutrition Tactics was founded in 2011 by Jorn Trommelen. Jorn earned his MSc in Nutrition and Health with top honors at Wageningen University & Research Centre (2012). He then obtained his PhD in Muscle Metabolism at Maastricht University (2019), at one of the leading laboratories in that field. He now works at Maastricht University as Assistant Professor.
His research focuses on protein ingestion to optimize post-exercise muscle protein synthesis. In addition, he investigates carbohydrate metabolism during and after exercise.
Jorn won several awards for his research, including:
- A Young Investigator Award at the European College of Sport Science Congress in 2015
- The GSSI Sport Nutrition Award at the American College of Sports Medicine in 2016
- The Gail E. Butterfield Nutrition Travel Award at the American College of Sports Medicine in 2016
- A GSSI Nutrition Award at the European College of Sport Science Congress in 2016
Dr. Milan Betz
Milan Betz joined Nutrition Tactics in 2018 as co-manager. He obtained his MSc in Human Movement Sciences (2017) and subsequently obtained his PhD in muscle metabolism at Maastricht University (2026).
His research focuses on the impact of nutrition, exercise, and environmental factors such as heat and cold therapy on muscle physiology. He has a special interest in how blood flow can be manipulated to enhance nutrient delivery to muscle tissue to optimize training adaptations in athletes and older adults. His publications can be found here.
Milan’s interest in nutrition and exercise physiology began during his career as a discus thrower, where he became Dutch national champion as a teenager. Wanting to better understand how training and nutrition influence performance sparked his interest in human physiology and ultimately led him into research. Today, he is passionate about ensuring that high-quality scientific evidence reaches as many people as possible, from older adults training to maintain fitness to athletes trying to maximize their performance.
