    Ep. 101: When ‘Eating Healthy’ Became Unhealthy: My Story as a Female Athlete

    Many female athletes start their training journey with the best intentions — to get stronger, faster, and fitter. But somewhere along the way, the messages around food, body image, and performance can become confusing and even harmful. In this episode, I share a very personal part of my story: my own struggle with nutrition and an eating disorder during my time as an athlete. It’s a chapter of my life that shaped not only how I view fueling and performance, but also why I created the Female Sports Nutrition podcast in the first place. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re eating “too much,” worried about your body changing as you train, or felt caught between wanting to perform well and wanting to control your food, this episode will likely feel very familiar. My hope is that by sharing this story, more female athletes will realize they’re not alone — and that there is a healthier, stronger path forward.   🥳 🥳 🥳 Podcast Review Free Giveaway!!   If you’ve been enjoying the Female Sports Nutrition podcast, I’d be so grateful if you left a review.

    Ep. 79: Stop the Silence: How Relative Energy Deficiency Decreases Muscle & Sports Performance for Female Athletes

    Are you training harder than ever, pushing your limits, and yet feeling an overwhelming sense of fatigue, frustration, and even fear about your performance? What if I told you that these feelings could be signs of a serious condition known as Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, or RED-S? This isn’t just about the numbers on a scale or the calories you consume; it’s about your health, your well-being, and your passion for the sport you love. In a world that often pressures us to conform to certain ideals, many female athletes find themselves caught in a cycle of under-fueling their bodies, unaware of the long-term consequences that can affect not only their performance but their overall health. Studies suggest that up to 60% of female athletes in sports that emphasize leanness (such as gymnastics, figure skating, or distance running) may experience some degree of energy deficiency. 30-50% of female athletes across various sports are estimated to have menstrual dysfunction, which is a key indicator of RED-S. So, if you’ve ever questioned whether you’re doing enough to fuel your body, or if you’ve experienced fatigue, mood swings, or performance dips, this episode is for you. Join me as I break down the barriers, stop the silence, shine a light on this critical issue, and empower you with the knowledge to take control of your health and your athletic journey.   Links Mentioned: Are you ready to build muscle and get stronger?
