Reviews summary

Gut health in sports medicine

This course focuses specifically on the gastrointestinal health of athletes and offers practical advice and research-based insights for sports physicians and dietitians.

Provides insight into EIGS.

"Fantastic course for those wanting to learn more about the physiology of EIGS and what tests can be done to correctly assess the possible causes of EIGS in order to plan a dietary treatment."

Offers practical advice for application.

"I really enjoyed taking this course and learned a lot of practical advice based on the most current research in the field."

Focuses primarily on ultra endurance athletes.

"The course wasn't well described, I'd probably go as far as saying misrepresented, in the marketing literature. The content was actually primarily about ultra endurance athletes not about regular exercise."

Limited application outside of UK.

"Really enjoyed this course, very interesting, loved that week two was all about the application, not sure how easy i am going to find applying this to practice in Wales, UK however - very limited resources."
