“It’s okay to not be okay” Sidney Spencer Marlborough

Sidney Spencer Marlborough “Epigenetics of mental health disorders including eating disorders and addictions”. She answers just that on PHIT for a Queen podcast:

1. Cindy said the only way to describe retirement on a sport was almost like the loss of a lifelong friend
   Sydney stated that she had to give herself Grace to deal with the wave emotions in the length of time it took for her to accept retirement
   The woman I am today was because of the values I learned in sport
   Sports help create a natural leadership ability
   Husband was a great support system when Sydney felt like she had no purpose he simply said just put one foot in front of the other
   What comes out of challenging situations can be very rewarding
   During transition, it's important for athletes to know what resources are available and encourage use of those

The Female Athlete Triad with Lane 9’s Heather Caplan

Heather Caplan, RD joins us to discuss how under-fueling and over- exercising impacts the female body and how the Lane 9 Project speaking out about women's health, nutrition, fertility, and running.

• The female athlete triad is sidelining female athletes. The triad includes low energy availability (under-fueling for your activity), amenorrhea (loss of period), and low bone mass. This can be normalized in our culture of women in sport but it is not. Delayed menses, multiple injuries and stress fractures, are red flags for the female athlete triad.

• Heather shares her experience of her recovery and how our experiences can lead us to amazing things. For Heather, it was the Lane 9 Project a place of awareness of the female athlete triad and for women to share their personal stories.
