Dr Katie Schofield is a Registered Nutritionist based in New Zealand with a PhD in Low Energy Availability (LEA) and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S).
Katie came to understand more about LEA after experiencing it as an elite track cyclist, however it was 2 years before what she was experiencing was given a name. Katie describes herself as the 'go-to-gal' to get the most out of your body and your performances and with her personal experience in LEA as well as high academic qualifications in this area, she is a wealth of knowledge and expertise to give us insight into this condition.
In this podcast, we unpack;
What is LEA, what are the symptoms, how it effects both women and men, the consequences of LEA and how to address it as well as a whole lot more!
