health, hormones, performance and injury — understood together. because treating these as separate problems is usually why active women don't get better.
what this covers
REDs & Low Energy Availability
Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport affects health, hormonal function, bone density, immune function, and performance. If you're fatigued, injured repeatedly, losing your period, or plateauing despite training hard — this might be the reason nobody's named yet.
Menstrual Health & Performance
How your cycle affects training, recovery, injury risk and performance — and how to work with it, not against it. This is clinical, evidence-based and specific to you.
Bone Health & Stress Fractures
Bone stress injuries in active women are not just a training load problem. Hormonal health, nutrition and REDs are part of this picture.
Fatigue & Performance Plateau
When you're doing everything right but your body isn't responding — there's usually a clinical explanation. That's what we find.
Injury & Health Together
Injuries don't happen in a vacuum. Hormonal status, nutritional adequacy, training history and recovery all contribute. Treatment that considers all of this is different — and more effective.
who this is for
a note on REDs
Connie's doctoral research at La Trobe University focuses specifically on low energy availability and REDs in female runners. If you think REDs might be affecting you, this is the right place to start.
Where indicated, Connie will refer to a registered sports dietitian, sports physician or sports psychologist.
