Your gut bacteria and your riding: what the research can and can't say yet
Endurance athletes really do have different gut microbial profiles, and no probiotic on a shelf has been shown to make you faster. Separating the genuinely interesting findings from the marketing built on top of them.
Saddle sores: prevention, treatment and when to see a doctor
"Saddle sore" covers several different problems with different treatments, which is why the internet's advice contradicts itself. What is actually going on down there, what genuinely prevents it, and the signs that mean stop riding and get it looked at.
