Maja Berry is a qualified dietitian with a Master's degree in sports nutrition, specializing primarily in addressing issues related to under-fuelling and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) or Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA). Her dedication to this field stems from a deep understanding of the critical link between energy consumption and expenditure.
