Should Runners Go Gluten-Free?

Something completely new is coming this Black Friday! Want to be the first to find out what I’m cooking up—and first in line to get a great deal when it goes live? Join my Black Friday VIP waitlist and keep an eye on your inbox for the big announcement! Could gluten be causing your gut issues, or is something else really going on? In this episode, we’re unpacking the confusion around gluten, the difference between celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and why cutting out gluten doesn’t always solve digestive symptoms the way we expect it to. We also discuss why testing before going gluten-free matters, how underfueling can contribute to gut problems, and how runners who need to avoid gluten can still meet their fueling needs. If you’re stuck in a cycle of elimination diets that never seem to resolve your GI symptoms, and you have no idea if you should be eating gluten or not, this episode is for you. And, if you're ready to stop second guessing what to eat when to fuel your training and body composition goals, whether you’re in the off-season, building toward a marathon, or figuring out race-week fueling, The Fueled Runner Program walks you through creating a personalized nutrition plan that changes with your training. Learn what to eat when, how to carb-load and hydrate, and how to fuel during your runs—with support for the gut issues and body composition questions that can make it all feel complicated.
