Low energy avalibility and RED-S with Rachel Langbein

Published on: 18th February, 2021

Please remember that no episode of the MyoMinds podcast can be used as a replacement for medical advice and/or care.

In today's episode, I speak with (soon to be Dr) Rachel Langbein, a PhD student and ex-endurance athlete whose first academic paper has recently been published.

Rachel has spent the last 3 years researching the experiences of athletes who have gone through Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S). RED-S is a blanket term for the repercussions that come from low energy input in athletes/exercisers.

We share a lot of areas of interest and go down many different paths. This was such a fun and interesting episode to record, and I hope you all enjoy it!
