The Female Athlete Triad & Non-Diet Nutrition for Athletes with Meredith McKinney

Meredith McKinney is a dietitian who works with women and athletes to bridge science with intuition and find an attuned way of living free of dieting, restriction, and food/body obsession. On the show today we’re discussing the female athlete triad, non-diet nutrition for athletes, and how to approach nutrition in a neutral, non-restrictive way for those who just like to exercise and move their bodies!

We’re also chatting about how being an athlete can disconnect you from being able to listen to your body around movement and food, and the biggest mistakes we see people making in the nutrition for sports/exercise fields. Hint: Eating for performance does not mean restrictive eating.
