  • Every triathlete NEEDS this podcast!

    I’m so glad I found this podcast early in my triathlon journey. It’s so easy to get caught up in training, buying new gear and signing up for races while completely stuffing up the most important element - fuelling for triathlon. What I love about Taryn’s podcast is it’s entirely focused on triathletes and she totally understands what we put our bodies through every day. She is straight to the point, highly knowledgeable and extremely direct in her advice. Highly recommend following this podcast... more

  • Entertaining, science-based, and no-BS

    Taryn is a sports dietitian and a triathlete — and it shows. The advice is practical and clear. The episodes are short and to the point, and I finish every episode with at least one tip I can implement immediately. The interviews with age-groupers are a standout too: real athletes, real lives, and useful takeaways. Well worth a listen!

  • Great Program

    TNA is a great investment well worth its weight. Taryn takes the time to dial in nutrition and teaches you how to manage your situation. Nutrition is a n=1 environment so let her dial it in for YOU.

  • Love the Podcast!

    If you’re a triathlete who takes training seriously but feels unsure about nutrition, the Triathlon Nutrition Academy podcast is a game-changer. Nutrition is often called the fourth discipline of triathlon, yet it’s rarely explained in a clear, structured, and practical way, until this podcast.

    Each episode helps you build real confidence around fueling for training and racing, not by selling products, but by teaching you how to think about nutrition for your own body and workload. The advice ... more
