The athlete’s guide to fiber and gut health

In this episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, Robert Gorgos takes a closer look at dietary fiber and why it plays a much bigger role in endurance nutrition than many athletes realize. The episode explores the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber, how fiber supports gut health, blood glucose regulation, recovery, and metabolic function, and why these benefits matter for long term performance. At the same time, Robert explains why the same foods that support health during everyday training can become problematic when eaten too close to key sessions or competition. The episode also covers practical timing strategies, race week adjustments, individual tolerance, and why there is no one size fits all approach when it comes to fiber intake. A practical and evidence based episode for athletes who want to better understand gut health, fueling, and how to balance long term health with race day performance.
