Running a marathon can be a thrilling and challenging experience, but it comes with its own set of unique problems, including the dreaded runner's diarrhea. As someone who has experienced GI distress during races, I can assure you that it's more common than you'd think.

In this video, I'm diving deep into why runners often face GI issues and what you can do to avoid them. From nerves and dehydration to the physical jostling of your body, many factors contribute to this unpleasant phenomenon. I'll share my personal experiences and strategies, including how to manage your sympathetic nervous system's shift in blood flow and ways to maintain control of your digestive system during intense runs.

We'll explore effective remedies and supplements that have worked wonders for me, such as colostrum, L-glutamine, and ginger. These can help reduce gut permeability and support your digestive health. Additionally, I'll discuss the benefits of oral peptides and how switching to ketone-based fueling can minimize GI distress during long runs.

Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or a newbie, these tips are essential for a smoother, more comfortable race. Say goodbye to unexpected bathroom breaks and hello to a better running experience.
