    #13 Renee McGregor: Are Abs Healthy?, RED-S and Fuelling for Endurance

    In this episode, I chat with Renee McGregor, a Sports Dietitian and author who's all about helping athletes fuel properly and stay healthy.



    Renee has worked with Olympic and Paralympic teams, and she currently supports groups like Scottish Gymnastics and the England National Ballet. She’s a pro at handling eating disorders, REDs (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport), and the unique needs of female athletes.



    Renee co-founded #TRAINBRAVE to spread awareness about eating disorders in sports and hosts the popular Trainbrave Podcast. She’s also written best-selling books like "More Fuel You" and "Training Food."



    In this conversation, we dive into RED-S, Hypothalamic Amenorrhoea, how social media impacts our overall health, the truth behind back to back endurance challenges, how beneficial 'What I Eat in a Day' videos really are, and so much more.
