Thanks, Taryn

Your podcast is so helpful and entertaining for me. Will keep working on the 4th leg of Triathlon. Keep up the great work!

The most educational podcast on triathlon nutrition

If anyone seriously wants to learn more about what is possibly the most important aspect of their triathlon training, you’ve come to the right place where no-nonsense approach is taken to all aspects of nutrition that goes into the training journey. The best podcast when it comes to triathlon and endurance nutritions with many useful advice and tips hope this kind of quality content can be sustained for many more years to come.

No nonsense advice & awesome interviews

I was happy to find Taryn’s podcast after hearing her share on a TriDot podcast. I have since binged all of her episodes and joined her community online. I find her no nonsense approach to nutrition super helpful. I also think her experience as an age-group athlete and dietitian for the Australian elite team gives her unique insight that many dietitians don’t have. Get plugged in with Taryn and the Dietician Approved Crew - you won’t regret it!

Recommend

I have been an avid listener of the podcast for quite some time now, and I must say that the content provided is consistently outstanding. Her ability to break down complex nutritional concepts into practical advice that athletes like myself can implement is truly commendable.

Succinct, relevant, and effective

It has been so helpful for my training and race prep to listen to the Triathlon Nutrition Academy podcast. I like that the titles accurately describe the co tent. I like that the episodes are 20-30 minutes that are dedicated to the topic. I like that there are distinctions between how an elite triathlete fuels compared to the rest of us. So much good info. Highly recommend this one.
