RED-S Prevention & Female Athlete Health
Ashley Schoborg, MA, BCS
Women's Health Behavior Specialist, Exercise Physiologist, and Metabolic Nutrition Consultant
With a master's degree in Exercise Physiology and 21 years of experience in health behavior, I take an integrated approach to female athlete health, exploring how physiology, perfectionism, body image, nutrition, and relationships with food and exercise intersect to influence an athlete's behaviors, health, and performance.
I currently offer 2 ways to help athletic departments support their female athletes:
1.
An Educational Presentation Series:
Stronger From the Inside Out:
Understanding Your Body, Fueling Your Performance, and Protecting Your Health ™
2.
Individual Athlete Health and Behavioral Support
Individualized health and behavioral support for moderate and high-risk RED-S athletes.
My Offerings in More Detail:
1.
Educational Presentation Series:
Stronger From the Inside Out
Understanding Your Body, Fueling Your Performance, and Protecting Your Health ™
A three-part educational series designed to help female athletes better understand their bodies, recognize the importance of adequate fueling, and develop a healthier relationship with food, exercise, and performance.
The Series Includes:
Part 1: Energy In, Performance Out
The science of fueling, energy availability, health, and athletic performance.
Part 2: The Menstrual Cycle
Understanding what the menstrual cycle can tell you about your health, hormonal function, and energy availability.
Part 3: The Hidden Side of Performance
Exploring how perfectionism, body image, and relationships with food and exercise can influence health and performance.
The series combines exercise science, female physiology, nutrition education, and health behavior to help athletes understand the connections between fueling, health, and performance.

Individual Athlete Health & Behavioral Support
Individualized health and behavioral support for moderate and high-risk RED-S athletes.
As a Health & Behavioral Support Partner, I work with athletes to uncover and address the underlying patterns that can contribute to under-fueling and interfere with recovery. This includes perfectionism, rigid food beliefs, body image concerns, exercise behaviors, and the pressures athletes place on themselves.
I help athletes understand how these factors influence their everyday decisions around food, exercise, and recovery, while strengthening their understanding of female physiology, energy needs, and the role of adequate fueling in health and performance.
Most importantly, I help bridge the gap between what athletes are asked to do and what they're actually experiencing, helping them translate their care team's recommendations into realistic, sustainable approaches to everyday life.
About My Approach
I believe supporting female athletes requires an understanding of both the physiological and behavioral factors that influence health and performance.
By bringing together my areas of expertise, I help athletes better understand their bodies, recognize patterns that may work against their health, and make more informed choices that support their long-term well-being and athletic performance.
My work complements the expertise of athletic trainers, sports medicine professionals, Registered Dietitians, and mental health providers. I do not provide medical diagnoses, psychotherapy, individualized medical nutrition therapy, or medical return-to-play decisions.
