Gut Health for Endurance Athletes in Otley & Leeds | Food-First Performance

This 60-minute gut health workshop is part of a 7-workshop series, designed to help you understand how gut health impacts real-life outcomes like energy, mood, focus, hormones and performance.

Each workshop focuses on a specific topic and breaks down what’s really going on in the gut, why common symptoms keep showing up, and which simple changes make the biggest difference. No extreme diets. No confusing science. Just clear, food-first guidance you can apply straight away.

If you attend, you can expect expert-led explanations, practical takeaways, time for questions, and guided tastings of kombucha, kimchi, kraut and kefir.

You’ll leave clearer, more confident, and knowing exactly what to focus on first.

This is just one workshop in the series. You can book onto this session on its own, or combine it with others running across February and March if you want to go deeper and take your gut health to the next level.

Overview:
Food-first workshop to support endurance performance through better digestion, fuel absorption and recovery.

Full Description:
Endurance performance isn’t just about training harder.
It’s about how well your body can absorb fuel, recover between sessions and stay resilient under load.

Long runs, rides and races put real stress on the gut. When digestion struggles, performance drops and missed sessions follow.

This 60-minute workshop explains how improving gut health can support endurance performance by helping you:
• Absorb fuel more efficiently during long sessions
• Reduce gut distress while training and racing
• Recover better between workouts
• Support immune health during heavy training blocks

You’ll leave with clear, food-first strategies you can actually use, plus a better understanding of what to focus on first (and what to stop doing).

Includes guided tastings of kombucha, kimchi, kraut, and kefir.

What You’ll Get:
✔ Clear explanation of how gut health affects endurance performance
✔ Practical food-first strategies you can apply straight away
✔ What to focus on first (and what to stop doing)
✔ Live Q&A with gut health experts
