    The athlete’s guide to fiber and gut health

    In this episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, Robert Gorgos takes a closer look at dietary fiber and why it plays a much bigger role in endurance nutrition than many athletes realize. The episode explores the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber, how fiber supports gut health, blood glucose regulation, recovery, and metabolic function, and why these benefits matter for long term performance. At the same time, Robert explains why the same foods that support health during everyday training can become problematic when eaten too close to key sessions or competition. The episode also covers practical timing strategies, race week adjustments, individual tolerance, and why there is no one size fits all approach when it comes to fiber intake. A practical and evidence based episode for athletes who want to better understand gut health, fueling, and how to balance long term health with race day performance.

    Zinc, immunity and recovery explained

    In this episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, Robert Gorgos takes a closer look at zinc and why this often overlooked trace element plays such an important role in health, recovery, and athletic performance. The episode explores zinc’s role in enzymatic function, immune health, muscle adaptation, acid-base regulation, and recovery, while also explaining how zinc absorption works and why dietary patterns strongly influence zinc status. Robert breaks down the difference between food sources and supplements, why athletes with high sweat losses, restrictive diets, or plant-based nutrition may be at greater risk of deficiency, and why more zinc is not automatically better. The episode also covers zinc rich foods, the limits of blood testing, the risks of long term oversupplementation, and the situations in which supplementation may actually make sense. A practical and evidence based episode for athletes who want to better understand zinc, recovery, immune function, and the balance required for long term performance.

    The fine line between iron deficiency and overload

    In this episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, Robert Gorgos takes a closer look at iron and why it is one of the most important trace elements for endurance performance. The episode explores iron’s role in oxygen transport, energy metabolism, recovery, and immune function, while also explaining how ferritin and transferrin help regulate iron status in the body. Robert breaks down why athletes, especially in endurance sports, are at greater risk of deficiency, how diet quality and nutrient combinations affect absorption, and why both low and excessive iron levels can create real problems for health and performance. The episode also covers key risk factors, symptoms of deficiency, supplementation strategies, side effects, and why iron status becomes especially important in phases such as altitude training. A practical and evidence based episode for athletes who want to better understand iron, fatigue, recovery, and the balance required for long term performance.

This nutrition basics episode explores potassium’s role in fluid balance, nerve signaling, muscle function, repeated contractions, and post exercise recovery. Robert explains why potassium is especially relevant for athletes training in the heat or over long durations, how it contributes to rehydration and muscular performance, and why insufficient intake can affect performance more than many athletes realize. The episode also covers daily requirements, practical food sources, potassium losses during exercise, and why most athletes can meet their needs through a balanced diet without relying on extra supplementation. A practical and evidence based episode for athletes who want to better understand one of the most underrated minerals in endurance performance.

    Deep Dive: how to fuel for long distance triathlon

    In this episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, Robert Gorgos breaks down how triathletes should approach nutrition in the final days before an important long distance race and on race day itself. The episode covers when detailed race nutrition preparation really begins, how to structure carbohydrate loading, why reducing fiber before a long race can make a difference, and what a practical race morning breakfast can look like. Robert also explains how much carbohydrate athletes may need during the race, how to think about fueling on the bike versus the run, and why logistics and tolerance matter just as much as the numbers.
