The Bodybuilding Dietitians
Here's something you don't see often in bodybuilding media: a podcast hosted by people who are both registered dietitians and competitive bodybuilders. Jack Radford-Smith, Tyarra Nelson, Damien Cox, and Lauren Stevens bring actual nutritional science credentials to the table, not just gym experience. That combination makes The Bodybuilding Dietitians stand out in a space crowded with bro science.
The panel format works well here. Episodes run 30 to 50 minutes and cover topics like optimizing contest prep nutrition, debating sugar-free drinks, navigating gut health, and breaking down the latest research on carbohydrate types. They're accessible enough for beginners but grounded in enough evidence to keep experienced competitors engaged. One thing listeners really appreciate -- the hosts don't push supplement sponsorships. They serve as their own sponsors, which means the advice feels less compromised.
With over 300 episodes published biweekly and a 4.5 rating, the show has built a steady audience. The tone strikes a nice balance between academic rigor and practical, locker-room-style conversation. They're not lecturing you from a podium; it feels more like sitting down with coaches who happen to have the science background to explain why certain approaches actually work. If you're tired of nutrition advice from people whose only qualification is having abs, this is a refreshing alternative that covers both the competitive bodybuilding world and general fitness nutrition.
