It’s all in your Gut

Elite Athletes work consistently daily to achieve their best performance possible. From perfecting every little movement and skill in the sport to mentally preparing for an event. But how much does the food you put in your mouth affect your performance? And can you train your gut for optimal performance?

Ultrarunner and performance nutritionist Paul Booth holds two master’s degrees in the subject. As well as 85 ultras to his name, he has done over 200 fell races and numerous marathons.

Booth has also lectured at Universities about nutrition in the sporting world and is now a coach. One of his degrees focused on the food side of nutrition, whilst his second one looked at the metabolism and biochemistry of the human body.

He works with athletes in the United Kingdom and abroad in countries such as France, Hong Kong and Australia.
