In this episode of the WMM podcast, Georgie Howe speaks with Dr. Nikki Kaye about the critical intersection of hormonal health and athletic performance. They discuss the importance of understanding RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport), the impact of energy availability on performance, and the signs of low energy availability, particularly in female athletes. Dr. Kaye emphasises the need for a supportive environment for athletes, including coaches and medical staff, to help navigate hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause. The conversation also covers recovery strategies for athletes with RED-S and the importance of nutrition and training balance for long-term health and performance.
