The Gut-Performance Connection: What You Need to Know

Your gut is the engine that powers your body, but are you giving it the attention it deserves? In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between gut health and athletic performance. Your gut does more than digest food—it impacts your energy, strength, recovery, and overall performance. Poor gut health can lead to inflammation, poor nutrient absorption, and fatigue, which hold you back from reaching your full potential. We’ll discuss how to spot hidden signs of gut issues, like bloating, irregular digestion, food sensitivities, and even brain fog. Plus, I’ll share simple, actionable steps to support your gut, including the best foods to eat—like fermented and prebiotic-rich options—and habits to reduce inflammation. You’ll also learn how gut health directly contributes to better recovery and steady energy, especially on game day. Take control of your gut health with small, practical changes that add up to big results. Ready to fuel, recover, and dominate?
