Dr Gemma Sampson: The Psychology of Eating. A Dietitian's Perspective.

In this episode of the WMN podcast, hosts Georgie Howe and Sheridan Braatvedt chat with Dr. Gemma Sampson, an advanced sports dietitian, to discuss the critical role of nutrition in female athletes' performance. They explore common nutrition mistakes, the impact of cultural beliefs on eating habits, and the importance of adequate fueling for training and recovery. Gemma shares her journey into sports nutrition, the challenges faced by female athletes, and the need for a compassionate approach to address disordered eating and energy availability issues.
