EZMUSCLELow Energy Availability and RED-S: The Silent Performance Killer
Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport can affect health as well as performance. It can arise when food intake does not adequately support exercise and the body's other needs over time.
A practical starting point
Persistent fatigue, recurrent injuries, menstrual changes or falling performance deserve a qualified sports medicine and nutrition assessment. Reduce pressure to keep dieting while the cause is investigated.
What the evidence does not promise
RED-S cannot be diagnosed from a single weight, body-fat number or internet calculator. A multidisciplinary plan may be needed; this article is education, not a self-treatment protocol.
How to make it useful for your training
Bring a short record of your sessions, food routine and the specific problem you want to solve. Anthony can help organise the training plan and general habits; a sports dietitian or clinician should manage individual supplement protocols and medical concerns.
