Performance without Pain is a critical guide to help the general public and people in high-performing fields understand the integral relationship between the modern diet and a predisposition to injury. It offers a nutritional program that can help heal the digestive system and build the body to be injury resistant and more resilient. If a person has underlying digestive system problems such as acid-reflux disease, irritable bowel syndrome, Celiac disease or leaky-gut syndrome--problems that are created by intestinal bacterial imbalances such as candida overgrowth and food allergies--inflammatory chemicals can circulate throughout the body and cause muscles and tendons to become easily inflamed. These digestion problems, which are very prevalent today because of the enormous influx of refined, processed and depleted foods, can result in intestinal damage and lead to malabsorption and malnourishment. Under these conditions, the body will fail to put repair and maintenance energy into muscles and tendons, as digestion-repair issues take physiological priority, and therefore, chronic inflammation can develop.
