As a young clinician I made a common mistake only asking about "training or exercise".
Yet some of my clients had 30 minutes or some had 3 hours more of activity.. walk kids to school, household chores, pacing on the phone, on their feet for their job.
Some of this was built into their day, some was part of their job requirements while others was used to manage their mood/anxiety.
Join me in the REDs Informed Provider ® certification program as we discuss how to screen and assess for those withdrawls.

Science Sunday on a Monday..
As a dietitian I look for articles that may not appear to be nutrition related but can have an impact on the behaviors that influence their nutrition.
The majority of my clients find their way to me unfortunately do to an injury. Many of them have had repeated injuries.
Being able to understand the person as a whole is vital.
If they are struggling with cognitive anxiety then they may struggle with intrusive thoughts around nutrition, body image.
If they are struggling with somatic anxiety then they may struggle with interoceptive awareness to know varying levels of hunger and fullness.

Years ago our preacher said something that as a kid stuck with me..
" One of the hardest things you will ever do is be a Christian. He didn't mean making the choice as a person in Christ what he meant was that you will likely upset someone, be left out or find yourself making life changes.

I am not always the best but I try every morning before touching my phone or beginning to work to come to the Lord in prayer.
If you ever want your name shared to the Lord DM me any time and any day.

Ultra endurance sport is glorified for it's mental and physical toughness.

But at what cost?

On March 4th at Noon CT, I’m hosting a CEU training with PhD candidate, researcher, and mental health expert Jill Colangelo on the topic of Ultra Endurance Sport: Myth, Reality, and Risk Factors.

In this training, we'll unpack:
👉 The psychological and physiological risk factors unique to ultra-endurance athletes
👉 The intersection of high training volume, REDs, disordered eating, and overtraining
👉 Sleep deprivation, recovery deficits, and chronic stress as normalized ultra culture
👉 What clinicians and sports RDs need to screen for, but often don’t

Jill is a PhD candidate in Sport studying mental health in ultra endurance athletes, with numerous peer-reviewed publications in sports psychiatry, REDs, and athlete wellbeing.

Her work bridges research, media, and applied athlete mentorship, making this conversation both evidence-based and highly practical.

This is a rare chance to hear directly from someone studying this population in depth.

📅 March 4th
⏰ Noon CT

It is that time of year when athletes starting setting their calendars for races and new challenges.
So many mistakingly decide to use training as a way to lose weight but what ends up happening is they find themselves broken down, injured and now unable to train/compete.
My challenge to you is can you realize that your body is not the problem, your body is the answer- capable and able!!

Years ago I heard someone say " I am not recovering from an eating disorder. I am recovering from the thing I needed the eating disorder for."
So many clients that have stepped into recovery have expressed that they appreciated the lessons learned having gone through the struggles.

Science Sunday ..
After requests I will try to put my thoughts on recent papers.
This is the Triad Consensus part 2. I have really enjoyed the throughness and explaination of the research.
Man if only we could get everyone together at the same table the feast we would have!

In my own life I have trusted the Lord that his plan will be far more beautiful than I could ever design.
However when it comes to others I love I struggle to give that completely to the Lord.
Things that seem unfair, unheard or even unjustified I struggle with understanding his why however I know there will be a why.

“HRV reflects autonomic balance, not health. Without context, heart rate variability can reinforce suppression instead of revealing it.”

Bradycardia and high HRV are often interpreted as hallmarks of elite conditioning.

And sometimes they are.

But in athletes experiencing low energy availability, those same metrics may reflect autonomic downregulation and metabolic conservation.

This is where having a provider who understands how to interpret this data really matters.

Heart rate variability measures shifts between sympathetic and parasympathetic tone.

It does not measure:
Energy availability
Thyroid function
S*x hormone status
Metabolic resilience

When HRV is evaluated in isolation, survival physiology can be misclassified as adaptation.

This is particularly relevant in REDs, where suppression across endocrine, metabolic, and cardiovascular systems occurs simultaneously.

Autonomic changes do not occur in isolation.

If we want earlier identification of REDs, we must integrate:
Nutrition
Endocrine markers
Cardiovascular data
Symptoms
Training load

A systems-based lens changes the question from “Is this athlete recovered?” 👉 “What is the nervous system responding to?”

That distinction is everything.

This systems-based lens is what I teach providers inside of the REDs Informed Provider Certification Program®.

I really like the philosophy shared by the Purple Patch podcast.
They discuss how when working with their athletes that are "time starved" they first put down the non-negotiables on their calendar then what they need to do from a work/home standpoint THEN they add in training.
Too many of my athletes are the other way around having to get up at 3am to get in training, using lunch breaks to get in their second session of the day. It is only a matter of time before you have no capacity for training.
For every hour more of training can you you also block an hour of recovery?
