Does Your Gut Health Affect Athletic Performance? with Navin Hettiarachchi | Ep. 8

Something that I’ve seen over and over again in my life and in my patients is how much the gut can affect even the smallest of physical activities.

-

In this episode, Navin Hettiarachchi and I discuss how athletic performance is influenced by the gut, why food sensitivities can make or break you, and how ditching processed foods can lead to better sleep and recovery.

Navin has over 20 years of experience working in the NBA, WNBA, and NFL. He also works with Olympians, U.S. Women’s Soccer, Paralympians, and NHL athletes. Celebrities and musicians from Hollywood have also sought his care for their health and wellness.

He traveled across the country and across the world to Australia, Belgium, England, Malaysia, India, Ireland, and Thailand to learn and train under world-renowned physical therapists, chiropractors, and osteopaths and has earned multiple certifications in the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries, including Advanced Sports Rehabilitation (CASR) and Certification Spinal Manual Therapy (CSM).
