In this episode, we dive deep into Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S)—a condition that affects athletes of all levels when energy intake doesn’t meet the demands of training and daily life. We explore the science behind RED-S, how it impacts performance, health, and recovery, and why it’s more than just a “female athlete” issue.

From hormonal disruptions and bone health to mental fatigue and increased injury risk, RED-S is a critical topic for coaches, athletes, and anyone involved in sports performance and wellness. Join us as we unpack the warning signs, long-term consequences, and most importantly—how to prevent and manage RED-S through proper fueling and education.

Whether you’re an athlete, health professional, or fitness enthusiast, this episode will give you the knowledge to spot RED-S and support a balanced, sustainable approach to training and nutrition.
