Unlock Peak Performance: Mastering Energy Balance in Sports
Sports Nutrition for Relative Energy Deficiency in Sports (REDs)
Training hard, growing fast and fitting it all around school or work can leave athletes running on empty without anyone noticing. Whether you’re an athlete yourself, or the parent of a teenager who dances, runs, or plays football, netball or hockey: if missed or irregular periods, recurring injuries or stress fractures, or energy that just isn’t there sound familiar, we can help.
Specialist support for adolescent and adult athletes affected by RED-S and hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), restoring energy balance, performance and, for female athletes, a healthy menstrual cycle.
Are you, or is your young athlete, experiencing tiredness, a dip in performance, missed or irregular periods (hypothalamic amenorrhea), reduced bone density, or more injuries and illness than usual?
Not sure if it’s RED-S? Start with the Fuel Check A 2-minute tick-list of the signs to look out for in 11–18-year-olds in any sport, plus what to do next and when to see your GP.

Maja Berry
In addition to her dietetic qualifications, Maja holds a master’s degree in Sports Nutrition and is sports nutritionist for English National Ballet School, Elmhurst Ballet School and Rambert, alongside her work in private practice. Her focus is energy deficiency in sport, such as Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) and hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA). She works with adolescents and adults who are struggling to balance the energy they take in with the energy their training demands, and with young athletes’ families alongside them.
Does this sound familiar?
Signs of energy deficiency in sport
Performance and recovery have stalled
Fatigue, repeated illness or injury, and stress fractures that keep coming back are often a sign that energy intake isn’t matching what training demands.
Periods have stopped, become irregular, or never really started
Hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) linked to high training loads or under-fuelling is common, in teenagers as well as adults. With the right, personalised approach it’s reversible.
You’ve tried to “eat more” on your own and it hasn’t worked
Fuelling for a specific training load isn’t guesswork. We build a plan around actual energy expenditure and anthropometrics.
You want a specialist who knows the training world
RED-S and HA need someone who works in elite sport and vocational dance day to day, not a general nutrition consult that treats athletes like everyone else.
You’re a parent and not sure what’s “normal”
It can be hard to know whether tiredness, a missed period or a string of injuries is just part of training hard. A proper assessment gives you a clear answer and a plan, without weight-focused advice.
