Episode Synopsis "Understanding Energy Deficiency in Dance"

On Today’s episode I am joined by Dr. Emily Kraus who is a sports medicine physician out of  Stanford.  Emily is the Director of the Stanford Female Athlete Science and Translational Research program, known as FASTR. The FASTR program seeks to help close the gender gap in sports science research with an emphasis on early identification and interventions to prevent injury and identify ways to optimize performance in female athletes. We sat down to discuss relative energy deficiency in sport better known as RED-S, we talked over common clinical presentations that clinicians may be able to identify, what clinical tests and measures can be used, and how energy deficiency can affect the athlete physically and mentally.
