Interview with Jen Hamer, an academic and athlete about her research and experience of RED-S.

In this episode I interview Jen Hamer. Jen has a MSc in Clinical Nutrition and Eating Disorders and is currently applying to pursue her PhD research into RED-S and energy availability and how it impacts on performance in athletes. Her MSc research involved a systematic review into treatment strategies for bone mineral density impairment in athletes with hypothalamic amenorrhea as a consequence of RED-S. She herself was a high level athlete who suffered with eating disorders and eventually her own diagnosis of RED-S and osteoporosis at a young age. Jen gives a fantastic insight into this condition both from her academic standpoint as as a personal story.
