High-carb fueling impacts performance and improves training capacity, unlike anything else. The only downside? It can cause a bit of a scene at the gut level. Here's what you can do to keep your gut happy.
I feel a bit like a drug dealer here. First, I sell you all this simple sugar and preach high-carb fueling, then I sell you the solution to fix that post-workout bloating feeling.
But here's the thing—the sleeper product of this year has been SwissRX Happy Tummy. And it's not just for post-workout. It's an everyday debloat that everyone in the office (and our top Pros) now swear by, especially our female athletes.
Why Happy Tummy is Different
There are a few good bloating products on the market. ProMix Debloat is one I used to love. What Happy Tummy has done is create a two-step solution in one drink.
First, soothing botanicals that help calm your stomach—exotic names like Slippery Elm, Marshmallow Root, and Aloe. The most important is probably the 3g of L-Glutamine that really helps smooth and line the gut lining.
Second, it delivers over 5 billion CFUs across 5 different strains. The most notable is probably Akkermansia—if you've been following gut health research, you know this one is having a serious moment right now.
The best part? It's actually enjoyable to take.
This isn't another handful of pills. Just mix the powder into a cup like a hydration—I like about 8oz to 10oz. It's great to sip on; you can even use warm water.
The flavor is a bit tart and refreshing. It is slightly grainy, but nothing that will turn you off—that's all the active botanicals ready to debloat you. If you use warm/hot water and stir, it isn't grainy at all.
While we made Happy Tummy for everyone, as I mentioned, it's certainly most popular with our female athletes.
It's also a great value at only $1.95 for a single serving or $1.65 per serving for the 30-pack. I'd get the 30-pack—it'll last you two months if you're using it every other day.
Matt's recommendation: If you're struggling with more serious gut issues, add in SwissRX Gut Health for one month. I went back on it 3 weeks ago and it was magical. I didn't realize whatever was messing up my gut was having such an impact on me day to day until it was gone.
What's Trending This Week
Sleepy Girl Mocktail
This has been taking off over the past 10 days. In case you missed it: Dream Shot + tonic (or sparkling water) + some ice before bed.
I've been doing it and it's both tasty, a great no-alcohol mocktail, and definitely boosts my sleep performance—albeit with some crazy dreams the past few nights (that I kind of enjoy).
Nomio
This is going to be the most talked-about performance booster for 2026. It's 2.5kg worth of broccoli sprouts concentrated into a 2oz shot to buffer lactic acid and make your legs hurt less. Nomio is selling so fast we had to just air freight in more supplies from Sweden.
Second Wind Nasal Strips
The science on nasal strips is solid—they work for both high-intensity training and sleep. My problem has always been that they either get itchy or fall off halfway through my workout.
Second Wind is the best I've found. They integrate a flexible plastic mini bar (you can barely see it) that really opens up your breathing more than just a fabric Breathe Right strip. It also sticks like a mother, but isn't itchy.
I'm a huge fan. They're also much more subtle to look at—it's the incognito mode of nasal strips.
My Inbox This Week Is All About Peptides
Two questions keep coming up:
"Can I get Dream Shot with no calories?"
Yes. SwissRX Dream is the sleep peptide from Dream Shot, but just the peptide in a single little capsule. No tart cherry, no calories, no mixing. Same PeptiSleep that helps you stay asleep.
"Should I take Synthesis if I'm on a GLP-1?"
I mentioned this a few weeks ago and my inbox exploded. The studies showing people losing up to 40% of their weight loss as actual muscle is scary.
We already know SwissRX Synthesis increases muscle protein synthesis (building strength/recovery). It's in clinical trials right now with GLP-1 users. While I can say the studies are very encouraging, we can't make any claims in this regard just yet.
But everyone should consider taking Synthesis if you want to build or preserve muscle strength—whether you're on a GLP-1 or not.
Let me know what you're trying. I read every response.
