Description

Is gut health just another nutrition fad, or a legit performance game-changer for triathletes?

In this episode, Taryn breaks down the gut microbiome in a way that makes sense for endurance athletes. Discover what it is, what it does, and how to support it without expensive supplements or trendy fermented food obsessions.

Key Takeaways:

  • Your microbiome impacts energy, recovery and immunity
  • Diversity in your diet equals diversity in your gut
  • Restrictive diets can trash your microbiome
  • Proper fuelling protects your gut lining

It’s not about probiotics, it’s about overall nutrition habits.
