Super smart and super big, Jackson's our scientific advisor and go-to guy for science-backed information on supplementation, nutrition and its effects on training - and anime.
He's a doctoral fellow at the University of Western Australia and has a straightforward approach to nutrition and supplements - you can read his unbiased opinion on our supplements and other topics here.

Hi, I'm Jackson
Hello! I am an athlete at heart, previously competing in AFL, rowing, boxing, and bodybuilding.
My love for sport and athletics lead me to pursue an academic career in Exercise Physiology, culminating in a double degree BSc, Honours in Exercise Physiology, and PhD in Clinical and Sports Nutrition.
I have published research studies in top Scientific Journals, collaborated with world-renowned authors, and been invited to speak at multiple international conferences.
I now live in Bali where I work as a remote nutritionist, working with a number of high-level athletes across bodybuilding, combat, and team sports.
I also recently opened the first macro-tracked (and trusted) fitness restaurant Pump Kitchen with stores now in Perth and Bali.
I joined Bulk because my values are aligned with them. Good quality ingredients, high-level testing, no proprietary blends, and evidence-based doses!
