What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

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!

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 is practical, evidence-based, and easy to apply alongside a structured swim, bike, and run program. This podcast helped me dial in my nutrition strategy and show up to multiple IRONMAN 70.3 races feeling prepared, fueled, and confident. If you’re looking for triathlon-specific nutrition education that actually fits into real life, this podcast is absolutely worth your time.

Tri-Idaho · Dec 2025

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.

Aung14 · Jul 2024

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!
