Feb 27, 2020, 04:00 PM
In this episode I am joined by Sports Dietitian Renee McGregor. Renee has a wealth of experience in a clinical environment and I was excited to be able to ask her questions such as:
- What is low energy availability?
- What are some negative effects of low energy availability for female athletes?
- Why is it do you think that female athletes underestimate their energy availability so much?
- What effects does a high fat diet have on our bodies?
- How can we train and eat around our cycle?
- Why do we experience PMS?
- How does the pill effect our cycles?
- Will there be more research on female athletes?
