Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport or REDS. A syndrome that affects many of the body's physiological functions, our health and athletic performance.
As an endurance athlete, it’s really important to understand the signs and symptoms of low energy availability and seek support if you think this could be an issue for you.
Joining me to dive into the topic is fellow Sports Dietitian from Auckland, New Zealand, Dane Baker. He is an active researcher in the field of RED-s, lecturer at the University of Otago and runs a specialist REDS clinic to help athletes recover from the multifactorial syndrome.
