    In this episode we sit down with physiotherapist and former athlete Emma Komocki to discuss a relatively new term in the athletic world: RED-S or Relative Energy Deficiency in Sports.

  • What's In Pre-Workouts, How Often Should We Take It, Do They Really Work?

    In this episode we sit down with Dr. Charlotte Connell (BSc. Exercise Science Hons., PhD Exercise Sciences, Research Fellow) talking about pre-workout products! Pre-workouts are extremely popular in the health and fitness industry and often we take these supplements off the back of our favourite influencers recommendation, the marketing we're exposed to and a friends word for it. But what happens when we actually ask an expert on them, someone who has ran studies on their efficacy on performance? You may be surprised by this episode!
