The Athlete Triad: Science Meets Practice

1 CEC

Presented by Heidi Skolnik

Description: The Athlete Triad is a syndrome consisting three conditions; low energy availability, impaired hormonal balance, and poor bone health. Heidi Skolnik, who has been treating Triad athletes for 20 years, will share practical tips and take the audience through several interactive activities she has used, and the audience can use, to help athletes change their behaviors and attitudes toward food to correct low energy availability, restore hormonal function and support bone health. By highlighting particular nutrients, specific sports nutrition strategies, ‘lessons’ learned from the interactive activities and personalizing action steps, athletes can progress towards improving their dietary choices and patterns to support health and performance. Audience members will walk away with practice pearls from this fun, experiential presentation.
