She focuses on performance-based nutrition and the treatment of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs), disordered eating, and eating disorders in athletes. Today we dive in to how WHSP's interdisciplinary approach is revolutionizing women's sports, why proper fueling is essential for performance, common hurdles women and athletes face, the importance of good research and more!
