Three Nutrition Rules Every Triathlete Should Abide By
When it comes to triathlon nutrition, there is a lot of crap out there! My passion is to cut through all the noise and give you practical, evidence-based information that actually works. To fast track your success as a time-poor triathlete. Triathlon can be a very expensive and tech-heavy sport. You don’t just need stuff for one sport, you need stuff for three! There are lots of gadgets and everything is upgradable - costs that can add up quickly if you’re not careful. But when it comes to nutrition, people don’t value investing in their nutrition because it isn’t tangible. You don’t get a shiny new object for your money. But I would argue your body is the thing you need to spend the most on. You have it for life! There are so many things that can affect your long term health if you’re not putting the right things in. Listen in as I give you 3 nutrition rules every triathlete needs to abide by… If you’re ready to understand what you need to be eating to support triathlon training, join us inside the Triathlon Nutrition Academy. Doors are open until 6pm AEST on Sunday night!!

How Triathletes All Over The World Are Improving Their Nutrition
You’ve invested in a training program, a coach, maybe you’ve spent thousands of dollars on a new bike…why haven’t you got a plan for your nutrition yet? So many athletes smash themselves at training with no regard for how they’re fuelling and recovering. But we only adapt i.e. get fitter and faster from the sessions we recover from. If you want to find the sweet spot where training and nutrition intersect, you might need to up your game with your nutrition…just saying. In this episode, I asked three Triathlon Nutrition Academy athletes to join me to talk about their experiences inside the program. You'll hear from Jill, Luis and one of our other star TNA athletes. Each has their own unique story about how they came to join the program and their own unique learnings along the way. Having a Sports Dietitian in your corner will change your life, I can guarantee it. Consider me your secret weapon when it comes to getting fitter, faster, stronger (and healthier!)

Just because you eat really healthy, doesn't mean you're fueling for training
It’s not often someone walks through my doors that generally eats really well. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean protein sources and minimal junk. But just because you eat healthily, doesn’t mean you’re fuelling your body with the right things to support triathlon training. Jody is a Naturopath, Triathlete, Mumma, Wife and Triathlon Nutrition Academy athlete. She shares her experiences on what it’s like to be a member of the TNA program as a healthy eating Naturopath. What she’s learnt so far, what she wasn’t expecting to find plus so much more.

Iron & Endurance Performance with Rebecca Hall
Do you feel tired, lethargic or fatigued and are not sure why? Maybe you need to get your iron levels checked. Inside the Triathlon Nutrition Academy program we talk all about Iron and how important it is for endurance training.

In this episode we talk about… Why iron is such an important nutrient for triathletes Where you find iron in your diet (hint: it’s not just red meat!) Advice for vegan and vegetarian athletes to meet their targets for iron intake without eating meat The variable bioavailability (how much is actually absorbed by the body) or iron and tips for how to enhance iron absorption Do we need to take a supplement?

Stop wasting your money on Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) scans
⛔️ Don’t book in for a body composition scan until you listen to this! Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (or BIA) scans are popping up in just about every gym and I’ve even seen some health professional clinics offering them as a service. They’re advertised as a quick and affordable way to accurately measure your body composition i.e. how much muscle, fat and bone tissue you’re made up of. But if an athlete of mine brings me a scan to interpret, I tell them to throw it in the bin! 🙈 Listen in as I explain what the BIA scan is, how it works and the challenges with relying on this method to accurately assess your body composition.
