Allie Kieffer shares how “ I don’t run fast because I am lighter. I ran fast because I am stronger” on PHIT for a Queen.

• Running was her way to escape her environment
• From a young age had others label her as “different” when it comes to the typical running body.
• How strong can I be to get through this marathon
• Lean on your strength
• If I don’t properly eat I can’t then recover to keep up my running.
• If my life was just about running it wouldn’t be very worthwhile.
• Hey, I am going to prove you wrong that I don’t need to change my body to perform my best.
• Have fun and be exposed to more than just one sport
• Focus on a growth mindset that focuses on did you try hard, did you have found and look more at the process.
• Congratulations to Allie on her “practice” half that she ended up winning at The Rock and Roll half marathon.

Dr. Rosen from the Gaudiani Clinic shares “Myths around amenorrhea & the female athlete & what is RED-S” on PHIT for a Queen.

• By day I am a doctor, by night I am getting my hands-on any outdoor adventure.
• Saw a gap in the care of the health of the female athlete.
• Found she was able to blend her experience with medical complication secondary to disorder and issues seen within athletic population specifically female athlete.
• Trying to change the culture of amenorrhea being a natural consequence. The loss of a menstrual cycle is a RED flag! For every year without a menstrual cycle, you can lose 2% bone density
• Debunks why birth control is not beneficial at protecting or rebuilding bone.
• Is this an athlete with a good strong heart or an athlete under fueling causing a “starved” heart?
• Feels there has been a great effort to get the word out on RED-S
• Under fueling in sport doesn’t just happen in females.
• Only 37% of physicians in a survey could identify the components of the female athlete triad.
• In any medical system many times you have to advocate for yourself.
