The world of women's sports is experiencing unprecedented growth, attention, recognition, and investment. Elite athletes including Simone Biles, Caitlin Clark, Serena Williams, and many others are having a significant impact on culture, and more women than ever are participating in both professional and recreational sports. Earlier this year, Russ sat down with Dr. Emily Kraus to talk about the future of female athletic health and we're re-running the episode today. She shared a number of key differences between women and men in sport, and illuminates that these differences are vastly understudied, though she's working to close that gap. This is an episode we shared with a number of athletes we know, and we hope you'll do the same.Have a question for Russ?

Sports medicine physician Emily Kraus knows a lot about the health challenges of female athletes. Women face far more ACL tears and bone stress injuries than men, for instance, and excessive training or poor nutrition can also delay puberty and affect menstruation. These differences are vastly understudied, she says. To close the gap, Kraus initiated the “Female Athlete Voice Project” that asks female Olympic and Paralympic athletes about their health experiences. We need to tailor approaches specific to female athletes, Kraus tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering'sThe Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

In this episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition, I sit down with a leading expert in bone health and female athletes, Dr. Emily Kraus. Dr. Kraus is also the Director of the Stanford Female Athlete Science And Translational Research (FASTR) Program. Together we chat about the basics of bone health and its interplay with the Female Athlete Triad, Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) and Low Energy Availability. Nutrition and bone health are closely linked, and Dr. Kraus and I discuss bone-related consequences of underfueling like bone stress injuries, fractures, and missing periods. Dr. Kraus explains the involvement of hormones in RED-S, bone health and injuries. We highlight warning signs of underfueling and imbalanced hormones in all athletes, like missing periods, known as amenorrhea, and reduced libido, as well as the importance of addressing these to maintain bone health and prevent injuries . We touch on supplementation and medical treatments for improving bone health, debunking myths about calcium pills, contraceptives and hormonal therapies.  Dr. Kraus is a world-renowned researcher in the field of athlete health and we discuss her latest project: The Healthy Runner Study. Dr. Kraus shares insights gained about the bone health of high performing female athletes, screening tools and red flags for identifying at-risk individuals, and strategies for preventing injuries and improving performance. We talk nutrition for bone health and healing from RED-S, as well as other potential causes of injury like training errors, biomechanics, and improper equipment. Dr. Kraus and I reflect on personal experiences as underfueled athletes and the negative impacts they had on our health and performance. We finish off with the usual end of the podcast questions and how listeners can find out more about Dr. Emily Kraus and her incredible work.

I've personally gotten three Ultimate tests from them and the process is simple, easy, and very eye-opening if you haven't done a deep dive on your biomarkers yet.  Of all the investments you can make in your running, this one is like getting a detailed checkup or regularly scheduled maintenance for your internal physiology.  If you're ready to take control of your health and optimize your training, get 25% off any of their blood tests with code STRENGTHRUNNING at InsideTracker. Thank you Spartan Race Series! You've probably heard of Spartan Races - but you probably don't know that they offer such a wide variety of types of races. From short to long-distance obstacle courses - and even ultra distances, to trail races, stadium races, and even city races in major metropolitan areas.  What I love about obstacle course races is that they are a great diagnostic tool to help you pinpoint what area of your fitness is lacking. Do you have a general aerobic deficiency? Do you struggle with upper body strength? Can you handle the stop and start nature of OCR's? Do you have the mobility to perform the obstacles?  Signing up for a race that challenges you in a different way can help you find out more about yourself as an athlete. Ever since I tried my first obstacle course race in 2012, I've loved these events. They are demanding and require you to be a well-rounded athlete, something that I wholeheartedly endorse here on this podcast. Go to spartan.com to find a local race near you. If you're in Colorado, I hope to see you on June 12th at the Colorado Springs Spartan Race.

This week's podcast features a discussion with Stanford Female Athlete Science And Translational Research (FASTR) Program Director Dr. Emily Kraus and Lead Researcher Dr. Megan Roche. The FASTR program seeks to help close the gender gap in sports science research with an emphasis on early identification and interventions to prevent injury and identify ways to optimize performance in female athletes. The program hopes to “inspire female athletes to learn more about their bodies and embrace what makes them strong and unique. Through proper education surrounding fueling, recovery, mental health, and more [they] encourage the development [of] lifelong athletes.” Dr. Kraus is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford Children's Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center. She specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation sports medicine. She is involved in several research projects, including The Healthy Runner Project, a multicenter prospective interventional study focused on bone stress injury prevention in collegiate middle and long distance runners. Dr. Kraus also spends time performing gait analysis at the Stanford Run Safe Injury Prevention Program and serves as a medical advisor for the Adaptive Sports Injury Prevention Program at the Palo Alto VA.  She has completed seven marathons including the Boston Marathon twice and one 50k ultramarathon. Dr. Roche has a medical degree from Stanford University but is now a Ph.D. candidate in Epidemiology and Population Health at Stanford focusing on bone health in athletes and the genetic predictors of sports injury. Dr. Roche is a post-doctoral research fellow at the Stanford Center on Longevity and is helping launch Stanford's Lifestyle Medicine Initiative.  Dr. Roche is a five-time national trail running champion, a North American Mountain Running Champion, and a six-time member of Team USA. She is a co-author of the book “The Happy Runner” and a co-founder of Some Work All Play, a coaching group centered around finding long-term fulfillment in the process of running. In this episode, you'll learn about low energy availability, bone health, proper fueling and more! Key Takeaways How Drs. Emily Kraus and Megan Roche started working together The push to study female athletes What is low energy availability  How this also applies to men How sex hormones affect bone health What does proper fueling look like  How mental health impacts low energy availability  Early symptoms of low energy availability Bone health and longevity as an athlete Genetic predictors of sports injury

On Today's episode I am joined by Dr. Emily Kraus who is a sports medicine physician out of  Stanford.  Emily is the Director of the Stanford Female Athlete Science and Translational Research program, known as FASTR. The FASTR program seeks to help close the gender gap in sports science research with an emphasis on early identification and interventions to prevent injury and identify ways to optimize performance in female athletes. We sat down to discuss relative energy deficiency in sport better known as RED-S, we talked over common clinical presentations that clinicians may be able to identify, what clinical tests and measures can be used, and how energy deficiency can affect the athlete physically and mentally.

In this episode we talk with Dr. Emily Kraus about biological control. We go over what biological control is and how it is used in the state of Florida. Dr. Kraus tells our listeners about some of the current biological programs Florida is using, as well as what other methods go along with biological control.

Okay, Feisty friends, if you are looking for some inspiration and motivation - this is the episode for you. This week, Sara talks to Emily Kraus and Megan Roche. Emily is the FASTR program coordinator, MD, a clinical assistant professor at Stanford children's orthopedic and sports medicine center, a seven-time marathoner, and a two-time Boston finisher. Megan is the FASTR lead researcher, an MD, a Ph.D. candidate in epidemiology, AND a five-time national trail running champion. So what is FASTR? It is a program designed to conduct research and provide information for female athletes. Sara talks to Emily and Megan about the moments they first realized there was a gender gap in sports science research, and how they are working to close that gap. Further, they discuss how women have certain advantages built into their physiology to help them perform, and what Emily and Megan would do if they could conduct ANY research on female performance broadly.

In this very special Happy Birthday Podcast episode I reflect back on this first year of hosting a podcast. Starting in November 2020, the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast was created to spread my message of fueling optimally to maximize our potential as female athletes. My hope was to reach a wider audience, beyond the clients I work with at Rise Up Nutrition, and share my knowledge around to empower females to be fierce, fit and fueled. In this episode, I touch on the fears that held me back from recording a podcast sooner, the feelings of imposter syndrome around sharing information other people have already said before. My motivation to push past these fears has always been to reach someone, somewhere, who hasn't already heard this message. I share my struggle with self-criticism, and hearing myself talk regularly on a podcast has brought its own challenges, such as inviting on great guests, preparing for episodes and asking the “right” questions, alongside my full-time work at Rise Up Nutrition. I touch on some of the amazing guests featured on the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast: Olympians like Terin Humphrey and Katie Nageotte, professional athletes and past clients of mine such as Mary Cain and Cali Schweikhart, esteemed experts Dr Emily Kraus and Nancy Clark, friends, family, colleagues at Rise Up Nutrition and more. The amazing feedback I've received from you FANS, supporters of the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast, has kept this going! Because of you, and the following we've gained worldwide, this podcast celebrates its first birthday, the first of many to come. Together, I believe we can all embody my “F's”: fierce, fit and fueled in all aspects of life. Join this movement as we embark on year 2!

In this special episode we chat with Dr. Emily Kraus about hormonal contraception and bone health. Last week, Emily shared an infographic about these issues targeting female athletes that went viral on runner Twitter and sparked lots of discussion and questions, so we talk about everything from periods to stress fractures and IUDs. Some highlights from our conversation: How hormones are connected to bone health Why it's possible to have a “normal” menstrual cycle but still have hormonal imbalances and poor bone health What male athletes should look out for when it comes to energy availability and hormonal health What runners who have lost their periods can do The science connecting oral contraceptives and stress fractures What signs we should be looking for to determine hormonal and bone health Follow Dr. Emily Kraus on Twitter and Instagram @emilykrausmd, and follow her training on Strava.

"There's still this notion that, in female athletes, that it's ok to lose their period during high intensity training in the middle of a season, cross country or track and field for example, and I continually have to educate that that's not normal and that lack of period is a good sign that something is off…” Dr. Emily Kraus Dr. Emily Kraus is a Sports Medicine Physician working out of Stanford Children's Health Center, where her focus is rehabilitation and sports related injuries as well as injury prevention. Asked why Emily does the incredible work she does, she speaks about a life long love of sport and an understanding of how important it is to be injury free as an athlete, so you can be out there doing what you love most. As an seasoned athlete herself, Emily recently blasted a 2:50 marathon PR! She understands the intricacies of sport and the importance of health relating to longevity in an athletic pursuits, versus acute tactics that can often backfire and leave athletes on the sidelines. Our conversation sheds light about the effects of relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-s) on our bone health and why this is important for athlete performance as well as our later years in life. Dr. Emily Kraus discusses: the impact of low energy availability on bone health and other aspects of performance and physiology the importance of getting calcium and vitamin D through the diet where possible why rest is such a crucial part of the training cycle, necessary for optimal bone health contraception and missed periods in female athletes the natural process of puberty and how young athletes can re-frame their process as their own and avoid comparisons There's a lot of wisdom from Dr. Kraus in this podcast. I truly believe these are topics that need to infiltrate sporting communities, including coaches and parents, in order to create a healthier sporting experience for all athletes at any age. In addition to the audio link below, Dr. Kraus created this amazing info graphic to further clarify some points we discuss on the podcast. Please share this with anyone who may benefit.
