In this video, I’m breaking down: 💥 The subtle signs I ignored (and what RED-S can look like beyond just “under-eating”) 🥩 How I began reversing it — adding 300+ calories/day (and counting) without feeling sick or losing progress ⚡ What to monitor with your training, hunger cues, and hormones 🍳 My Full Day of Eating to support recovery, muscle growth, and metabolic repair If you’re training hard but feeling burnt out, struggling with hunger swings, fatigue, or a dip in performance — this is a must-watch. 👟 Subscribe for weekly uploads on functional fitness, female physiology, and hybrid athlete life. 💬 Comment below if you’ve ever wondered whether you’re eating enough for how hard you train — I’d love to cover your questions in a future video. #REDS #FullDayOfEating #HybridAthlete #FemaleFitness #MetabolicHealth #HormoneHealth #ReverseDiet #EatMoreTrainBetter 💬 Want 1:1 support interpreting your results?
