What if one day you could take a probiotic that
made you run faster, jump higher, and recover like wolverine? Sound like something straight out of a movie, doesn’t it?
But what if we were to tell you that athletes already have an edge over their competition due to their high performance gut microbiome. This is because their gut bacteria significantly impacts how well they perform and how fast they recover.
When it comes to athletic performance, the microbes in our gut influence:
- Energy synthesis and regulation
- Inflammation levels
- Stress resilience
- Mental toughness
Gut microbiome discoveries have researchers exploring questions like:
- Could microbiome genomics help us predict the next Michael Jordan?
- Could we harvest the microbes of professional athletes to pass on better performance?
- Will we one day be able to purchase “performance probiotics?”
You probably aren't surprised to hear that these scientific findings have led to the quest for performance-based prebiotics and probiotics. But what’s even more interesting is that some scientists believe they will be able to mine the gut microbiomes of ultra athletes to help others.
It’s undeniable that the gut microbiome has an impact on athletic ability, which is why knowing what you should eat for gut microbiome health is essential. Fortunately, we live in a time where we can see the activity of the gut microbiome with high resolution technology, like the metatranscriptomic sequencing Viome uses. Viome is a gut microbiome and food sensitivity test that finds you ideal diet. With your Viome recommendations, you’ll know exactly what to eat to hack your gut for better health.
