  • No BS Nutritional Advice for Endurance Athletes

    Great content - each episode has a brilliant structure, they reference previous episodes and the recaps at the end help a lot. I wish other podcasts would follow the same structure.

    It’s refreshing to hear a podcast about nutrition that is honest and gives you the science without the bs.

    I’m an athlete trying to figure out my fueling for ultra distance events. My only regret is I didn’t find this podcast before DNF’ing utmb earlier this year.
