#538: Sports Dietitian Renee McGregor on Balancing Athlete Hormones, When Healthy Eating Goes Bad and REDS (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport)!
Renee McGregor is a leading Sports and Eating disorder specialist dietitian with 20 years’ experience working in clinical and performance nutrition, with Olympic (London, 2012), Paralympic (Rio, 2016) and Commonwealth (Queensland, 2018) teams.
She specialises in REDS Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, eating disorders and hormonal health for female athletes.
Renee is also a best-selling author, and her most recent book, More Fuel Thought is available now. She also writes a monthly column for runner’s world.
Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s show:
· REDS is a multi-system condition affecting athletes.
· Low energy availability is not the only factor in REDS.
· Overtraining and REDS share overlapping symptoms.
· Listening to your body is essential for health.
· Body image issues are exacerbated by social media.
· Intuitive eating can help in recovery from REDS.
· Healthy behaviours are more important than body appearance.
· Human connection is vital for emotional well-being.
· Hypothalamic amenorrhea can have severe long-term consequences.
· Orthorexia is a harmful obsession with healthy eating.
· No food should be demonized; balance is key.
· Healthy eating is about unrestrained choices, not restrictions.
