Understanding the Female Athlete Triad
Girls and young women who specialize in sports and dance are vulnerable to the female athlete triad \u2013 an interconnected set of risks which include eating disorders, amenorrhea (loss of menstruation), and osteoporosis. We explore these issues and the reasons why they post long term physical and mental health dangers to young people. Even more, we examine how many of these risks are not particular to females, but affect male athletes as well.\n\n\nShow Notes:\nOrder our book This Is So Awkward\nCheck out all our speaking and curriculum at\xa0www.lessawkward.com\xa0and our super comfy products at\xa0www.myoomla.com\nTo bring us to your school or community email\xa0operations@lessawkward.com\nTo submit listener questions email thepubertypodcast@gmail.com\nWatch the full episode on Youtube!\nProduced by Peoples Media\nTranscript\nLearn more about your ad choices.
