@athletetriad: Losing your period as an athlete is NOT normal and can be a sign of low energy availability. Furthermore, taking birth control will NOT fix the root of this problem. Additionally, eating less does NOT equate to better performance and it instead can lead you down an unhealthy path of reproductive dysfunction and bone stress injuries. Please drop any questions about the athlete triad in the comments! #athletetriad #athlete #PartyWithVMAs #fitnesstiktok #femaleathlete
