This episode is the first in a five-episode series, all about Relative Energy Deficiency in Sports (RED-S) and eating disorders. I am excited to start the conversation off with Kiera Carter, writer, editor, and digital strategist, focused primarily on women's issues, health, fitness, nutrition, and beauty. Kiera is currently the editor-at-large at Women's Health and has made many important contributions to the running and fitness community through her work.
In November, Kiera wrote an article for Runner's World entitled, "RED-S is a Real Problem for Some Runners--Here's What You Need to Know." In this episode, Kiera and I talk all about RED-S--what it is, what it isn't, how it overlaps with eating disorders, why it's so prevalent in the running community, and avenues for change. I hope you enjoy this important conversation and the four, related episodes to come!
