From Melbourne to Sydney.

Daniel Drakopoulos is a Melbourne-born Nutritionist and Fitness Instructor based in Woollahra, Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. Raised in a Greek-Australian household, he grew up around fresh markets, slow-cooked meals and long family tables. Food was a source of connection, and that sense of enjoyment still shapes his approach.

His career began in Melbourne’s inner-north gyms, working with beginners, office workers and recreational athletes. Many clients could follow a training program but wanted more help with food. That experience led him to study Human Nutrition at the University of Melbourne.

Daniel holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Human Nutrition and brings 10+ years of coaching experience across nutrition, strength training and everyday habits. His work has included independent coaching, group workshops and corporate wellness education.

After moving to Sydney in 2020, he established a home-based practice in the Eastern Suburbs and continued developing his online coaching. He now offers consultations in Woollahra by appointment, alongside online coaching.

Daniel explains what he recommends and why. He works with clients to make changes they can repeat, then adjusts the plan when their needs or circumstances change.

Qualifications and approach.

Daniel holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Human Nutrition from the University of Melbourne. His studies focused on gut health, sports performance, metabolism and behaviour change, building on his earlier fitness qualifications.

His work brings those two foundations together: clear nutrition guidance and structured training, shaped around the person in front of him.
