S5E1: Performance Nutrition and Gut Health [with Mhairi Keil]
Description
Welcome to the fifth series of the Microbiome Matters podcast. In this series, we’ll be learning from expert guest speakers about gut health and nutrition strategies for athletes.
In our first episode, we’re joined by Mhairi Keil, a Senior Performance Nutritionist with the English Institute of Sport (EIS) and currently the Lead Nutritionist for British Gymnastics and GB Snow Sports. Today she’ll be chatting with us about her role at EIS, key nutritional considerations in elite athlete groups and strategies to support immune and gut health in athletes.*
