Q&A: Overall health, with irregular or absent periods & What if I recover from REDs...and get slower?

"You might think, 'On the other side of this, if I'm not even guaranteed better performance, Why would I do it?' That comes down to our values," shares Lane 9 co-founder, and dietitian, Heather Caplan.

This Q&A episode tackles two questions: 

1. Is it possible to be 'healthy' even with extremely irregular periods or absent periods, if everything else is going well?
2. Will I recover from REDs and get faster? What if I get slower, or get injured?
