Mental health support shouldn’t come at the expense of metabolic health or performance.

Yet for many athletes, that’s exactly what happens.

On February 4th at Noon CT, I’m hosting a CEU training with clinical sports pharmacist Jessica Beal-Stahl, PharmD:

🧠 The Hidden Cost of Treatment: Mental Health Medications, Energy Availability, and Metabolic Trade-Offs in Athletes.

Inside this training, we’ll break down:
• How common mental health meds impact energy availability & metabolism
• Why recovery, hormones, and performance can start to decline
• What sports clinicians should be screening for, but often aren’t
• How to support athletes without forcing a “mental health vs performance” choice

Jessica brings both clinical depth and lived elite athlete experience, making this a must-attend training for sports RDs and practitioners working with female athletes.

I have heard more and more regarding athletes that have been told they are prediabetic. Now I am not telling them to ignore the possibility however I encourage them to explore the possibility that their glucose levels could be influenced by malnutrition and stress.
Right now there is exploration around a new diagnosis of Type 5 Diabetes that is brought on by malnourishment.
Before your athlete decides to start reducing carbohydrate intake or type of carb be sure to explore these possible mechanisms.

If you want to learn more about these potentional metabolic dysfunctions join us in the 2026 REDs Informed Proivder ® certification program.

Performance is often the last thing to fail.

In sport culture, we’re taught to trust external markers like pace, volume, body composition, and resting heart rate as proof that the body is adapting well.

But in underfueling athletes, those markers can remain stable long after physiology has shifted into survival mode.

AKA... fitness is NOT always a sign of health.

When energy availability is chronically low, the body doesn’t immediately shut down performance. Instead, it reallocates resources. Systems that support long-term health, recovery, and adaptation start to down-regulate so training can continue in the short term.

That’s why survival can be masked as fitness.

Athletes may still train consistently, hit workouts, and even race well, but underneath the surface? They're feeling increasingly fatigued, cold, sore, or disconnected from their bodies.

These signals are often dismissed as “normal training fatigue” rather than recognized as early indicators of underfueling and REDs.

Understanding this distinction matters, because when we equate resilience with health, we delay care, and the cost is often paid across multiple physiological systems.

This has become a huge area in sport that isn't talked about enough.
While I would never want one to suffer with low iron our medical providers should challenge ... why is this happening?
Athletes you should also take caution that this is on the radar of USADA for use as doping. Do your homework on how much iron can be infused as well as the timing allowed before a big race/event.

I have come to label this the emotional hangover.
Change is hard whether we want or not..
Starting college
Getting married
Being a new parent
Watching your parent's age
Dreading being an empty nester
But the more I view these as a privilege the more it makes me stay in the present.
Making those emotions is a workout but isn't this what life is about??

I can understand how confusing it can be when the same symptoms could be a sign of health OR a sign of malnutrition.
However this is why we never base assumptions of one symptom or vital sign.
It is alarming the athletes that love to share their RHR as a badge of honor for fitness. It could be true fitness but if in the next breath they are speaking to fatigue or struggling to recover this may be a different picture...

We discuss this impact when working with athletes in our REDs Informed Provider ® certification program.. want to learn more get your spot in 2026!

Most athletes are willing to work HARD.
But are they recovering even harder? 🤔

When nutrition doesn’t match training volume, performance doesn’t just stall, it declines.
Underfueling can lead to:
🔻 Injuries
🔻 Hormonal shifts & mood shifts
🔻 Chronic fatigue
🔻 Performance plateaus or regressions
🔻 Overtraining
🔻 REDS

That’s why performance nutrition starts with recovery.

Our bodies love balance.. this can go either direction.
There can be an increase in cholesterol when the body has more than it can use OR it can also have an increase in cholesterol because it needs to use it.
Before one begins considering prescriptions or changes to their diet start with a timeline of when did your bloodwork begin to change and did this also impact your bloodwork at the same time?

I am sure you have all heard recently that there are new dietary guidelines ( made w/o any RDs) and the thing that really upsets me the most is the fact that we are creating recommendations for young kids on what to limit and avoid. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
For some this may leave them confused " Becca you are a dietitian why on earth would you encourage added sugars or processed foods?"​​​​​​​​
It is because I don't use that kind of language. Feed your kids. Try to get balance in. Enjoy the food. As an eating disorder specialist I promise you this language will cause more harm than good. Kids will grow up with more confusion around how to take care of themselves, Parents trying to do what they think is the right thing will contribute to a state of food prison.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you know me I love me some chocolate. My grandma knew that and would make me desserts to enjoy with her. My grandma is gone but this memory is not.​​​​​​​​
The same now is for my daughter and her grandma. Pics of brownie batter being licked right off the spoon ( right of passage). ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When I look at this picture I don't see added sugar I see a time of connection for just me and Grandma. Isn't this what health really should be about? There are many ways to connect but yes it is ok if it is around food and food that has added sugar or convenient!

Maria was a wealth of knowledge bringing her expertise with eating disorders and yoga.
She is currently working on a book around exercise disorders which is so needed and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy ( hopefully signed).
It is so important to be able to combined understanding of how the body speaks when it is struggling and Maria's unique background is perfect for that.
Be sure to give her a follow to find out when her book is released.
