About the Course

Did You Know? The Gut is the Body’s Largest Immune Organ! Gastrointestinal symptoms are the most frequently reported health issues at international sporting events. When these symptoms are severe, they can impair performance or even lead to withdrawal from competition. Even mild to moderate symptoms can negatively impact quality of life, fueling, recovery, and may indicate a more serious underlying gastrointestinal disorder. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of exercise gastroenterology and gut health is essential for all performance nutrition practitioners. The Practice Gap Unfortunately, many nutrition practitioners receive minimal formal training in exercise gastroenterology.
