Elite Performance

Food symptoms, unearthed

More than a third of adults report an adverse reaction to food. For elite sportspeople this can be the difference between winning and losing.

Unmanaged sensitivities impair performance

Unmanaged food sensitivities cause low level systemic inflammation, silently undermining an athlete's performance across every dimension.

  • Reduced physical capacity

    Systemic inflammation limits oxygen uptake and muscle output, directly cutting peak performance.

  • Slower decision-making

    Neuroinflammation impairs cognitive speed, reaction time and in-game decision-making.

  • Elevated injury risk

    Chronic inflammation weakens connective tissue and slows muscle repair between sessions.

  • Extended recovery windows

    Inflamed systems recover more slowly, reducing training volume and competitive readiness.

Confidence:

Evidence, not guesswork

Wist's unique food and symptom tracking engine unearths potential sensitivities from just 5 minutes of athlete logging per day. Suspected triggers are then excluded while logging continues, confirming or ruling out each one - a continuous, structured evidence base rather than a one-off test.

  • 5 minutes per day: Minimal logging burden on athletes - just photos or quick messages.
  • Structured elimination: Suspected triggers are removed systematically while tracking continues.
  • Continuous evidence base: Builds over weeks, not a single snapshot - far more reliable than one-off tests.
  • Confidential to your team: All results are confidential to you.

Decades in diagnostics and inflammation

Our analysis is led by senior clinical scientists with decades in diagnostics, inflammation and clinical trial design. They interpret food-symptom patterns against your existing performance and injury data, working alongside your nutrition and performance specialists.
