Did you know that between 30-60% of female athletes experience low energy availability at some point and the number is even higher for sports that place a lot of importance on a lean physique?!

Does this sound like you??
In today's episode, I'll tell you about my personal struggle with LEA, signs and symptoms, and 3 things you can do right now to get yourself out of this mess. Grab a pen and paper and let's go!
