Intense training, competition schedules, heat exposure, and frequent travel can cause significant stress on an athlete's gut and immune system. The result can be:
- Gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort
- Gut barrier disruption ("leaky gut")
- Increased upper respiratory symptoms
- Compromised recovery and training consistency
For athletes, staying healthy is essential to maintaining training quality and competition readiness.
