Understanding RED-S: What Athletes, Coaches, Parents, and Providers Need to Know
Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is a critical and often overlooked health issue that affects athletes of all genders, sports, and competitive levels. Whether you’re an athlete striving for peak performance, a coach guiding a team, a parent supporting a young competitor, or a provider in the health and performance space, understanding RED-S is essential. This condition isn’t just about low energy intake- it’s about the ripple effects that under-fueling can have on every system in the body: hormonal, cardiovascular, metabolic, immune, and psychological. In this post, we’ll break down what RED-S is, how to spot it, why it matters, and what you can do to protect yourself or those you support.
