🚨 What is RED-S & why does it matter for female athletes?

❓What is RED-S?
RED-S stands for Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport. It happens when an athlete doesn’t eat enough to match the energy they use in training, school & everyday life

⚠️ It’s not just about calories- it’s about health & performance.
When your body doesn’t get enough fuel is starts to shut down non-essential functions to save energy. For female athletes this can mean
🩸 Missed or irregular periods
😴Fatigue or slower recovery
🦴 More injuries (especially stress fractures)
🧠 Mood changes & trouble focusing
🏋️‍♂️Decreased performance despite training hard

💡RED-S is common- but preventable. Proper fuelling = stronger training, better focus & long term health

❤️ Remember, eating enough isn’t a weakness-it’s YOUR superpower

If any of this sounds familiar & you are looking for advice on fuelling our Registered Dietician, Alice Murray-Gourlay is ready to meet you
