    Why RED-S Matters to Every Podiatrist

    In this episode of the Podiatry Today Podcast, host Dr. Jennifer Spector sits down with Dr. Savannah Santiago to discuss Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S)—a condition that extends far beyond the traditional concept of the female athlete triad and has important implications for athletes of all genders. Drawing on insights from her presentation at the APMA Annual Scientific Meeting, Dr. Santiago explains how low energy availability can contribute to stress fractures, delayed healing, recurrent overuse injuries, and declining athletic performance. She also shares practical strategies to help podiatrists recognize the subtle clinical and behavioral signs that may point to RED-S and discusses the critical role foot and ankle specialists play in identifying at-risk athletes and coordinating multidisciplinary care. In this episode, you'll learn: How RED-S differs from the female athlete triad Why male athletes and athletes across many sports are also at risk Foot and ankle findings that may signal underlying energy deficiency Behavioral and clinical red flags podiatrists should recognize When and how to involve nutrition, mental health, and other specialists Whether you treat competitive athletes, weekend warriors, or adolescent sports participants, this conversation offers practical insights to help improve both musculoskeletal outcomes and long-term patient health.
