RED-S / REDs only affects elite athletes, right? Wrong. You don’t have to have 6-pack abs or run 100 miles a week to have Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport. All you have to do is not fuel enough for your level of activity. You also don’t have to have lost your period. Stress fractures, GI issues, cold hands or feet, insomnia, a low heart rate, and depression, anxiety, and irritability can also be symptoms. If you have questions about RED-S / REDs, you’ll find the answers here!
