What's up Motivators? Taryn here. Today's podcast guest is Terran Richardson, who is a sports

dietitian. She is herself a recovering triathlete, as she has said in previous podcasts. And I find

her to be really excellent in understanding and communicating the nuance that goes along with diets.

As we'll talk about in this episode, you'll find that there's a lot of things that
