Episode 69. Preventing Bone Injuries & RED-S with VIS Expert, Dr. Emily Kraus

VIS Expert, Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford University, Dr. Emily Kraus speaks with us about her experience growing up in Nebraska as a multi-sport athlete, her journey into sports medicine and research, and her current projects: The Healthy Runner Project and FASTR. Dr. Emily Kraus shares with us important injury prevention tips, the importance of our general energy availability, both the implications and ways to prevent RED-S and the female athlete triad, and the existing gap in sports medicine research between male and female athletes. “There's been this need to better understand these physiological differences between sexes so we can better understand the injuries, treat those injuries, and both improve health and performance and longevity in sport.”- Dr. Emily Kraus
