Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport: How do we reverse it?

This live Q&A explores all things RED-S or Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport. RED-S comes because of being in a state of Low Energy Availability and is something that we see all the time with our athletes but also everyday active individuals. When we are constantly being bombarded by messaging to eat less or eat clean and there’s a really big pressure that leads to an over restriction or an accidental mismatch between energy needs and energy intake.  This round we explore, whether men can experience RED-S, if you need to be an elite athlete to suffer from RED-S, what symptoms need to exist to determine whether you have energy deficiency and how can we reverse it. If you have resonated with any of these questions or topics brought up in today's Q&A and you would like to work with one of our dietitians, please feel free to reach out to us on our Instagram @compeat_nutrition or our website compeatnutrition.com!
