I am an expert in the study of mental health and ultra endurance sport. My research helps athletes of all kinds understand overtraining, burnout, hypothalamic amenorrhea, low energy availability, and related disorders.
My Background
I am currently a Research Affiliate in the Department of Forensic Psychiatry at the University of Bern, Switzerland and finishing my PhD at St. Mary’s University Twickenham, London. My research has changed the way we think about physical activity, sport, the endocrine system, stress, mental health, neurodiversity, disordered eating, and even the culture that surrounds us.
