Episode notes
Use Fasted Workouts Sparingly
- Use periodic fasted workouts sparingly and still practice fueling in other sessions.
- Avoid habitual fasted training or chronic low energy availability to protect gut function.
Age And Experience Reduce GI Risk
- Older and more experienced athletes report fewer severe GI symptoms.
- This likely reflects both physiological changes and learned fueling strategies over years.
Why Women Get More Bloating
- Women more often report bloating and constipation partly due to slower colonic transit.
- Slower transit increases fermentation time and fluid reabsorption, raising gas and constipation risk.
