My consultations with Allison have been an absolute blessing. I’m 28 years old and a road marathon runner. A few months ago, I was struggling with overtraining and under-eating and realized I had RED-S. I was in a perplexing situation where workouts I had mastered were becoming increasingly difficult, my energy levels were dwindling, my menstrual cycle disappeared, and I hit a wall at the 10th kilometer of my last marathon. I live in Quebec, Canada, where RED-S is largely unknown. Neither my coach, my fellow athletes, nor even my doctor were familial with RED-S. Fortunately, I crossed paths with Allison, despite the geographical distance and she has been an unwavering companion on my journey to recover from it. As previously mentioned, given the lack of awareness around me, it has been quite a solitary process. Thankfully, my consultations with Allison provide me with substantial support on nutrition, training, and psychological fronts. Her comprehensive, proactive, and personalized approach equips me with the daily tools I need to confront this challenge, which sometimes feels like an insurmountable mountain. Her service, her attentive listening, and her action plan are worth every dollar invested, and I wholeheartedly recommend anyone grappling with RED-S to seek her guidance in their journey towards recovery.
