Low Energy Availability: What It Is and How to Fix It

Has your progress stalled, or are you experiencing unexplained fatigue? It could be low energy availability.
As we strive to push our physical limits, sometimes we might inadvertently fall into the trap of Low Energy Availability. 
This can lead to a condition known as Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) which can severely hinder not just our performance but overall health.
In this episode, I’ll dissect the science behind low energy availability and RED-S, and help you understand how you might be underfeeding your body despite intense training routines. You will learn about the symptoms of RED-S, its consequences, and how to prevent it.
So tune in and learn how to balance your diet with your exercise and training and why it's essential to match your food intake with your energy expenditure.
