• By day I am a doctor, by night I am getting my hands-on any outdoor adventure.
• Saw a gap in the care of the health of the female athlete.
• Found she was able to blend her experience with medical complication secondary to disorder and issues seen within athletic population specifically female athlete.
• Trying to change the culture of amenorrhea being a natural consequence. The loss of a menstrual cycle is a RED flag! For every year without a menstrual cycle, you can lose 2% bone density
• Debunks why birth control is not beneficial at protecting or rebuilding bone.
• Is this an athlete with a good strong heart or an athlete under fueling causing a “starved” heart?
• Feels there has been a great effort to get the word out on RED-S
• Under fueling in sport doesn’t just happen in females.
• Only 37% of physicians in a survey could identify the components of the female athlete triad.
• In any medical system many times you have to advocate for yourself.
