how unusual symptoms and the lack of a weight problem made the diagnosis both difficult to identify and surprising to her and her coach.<\/p>\n<p>RED-S, or relative energy deficiency in sport, is often associated with under-fueling and low body weight, and in women, the loss of a regular period.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-2e05145d-4403-4666-bbad-3c45f5d370f2-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">But for Dygert, the diagnosis did not come with any problems of being underweight \u2013 in fact she explained that she has gained 9kg \u2013 which may have contributed to her not looking at RED-S as a possible explanation for the problems she has faced over the last year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\"

I&#8217;ve never had issues with food, which is why being diagnosed with RED-S came as such a surprise,&#8221; she said in a lengthy Instagram post on Monday.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve never been someone who was &#8216;sickly skinny&#8217;. There were certainly times I lost weight while preparing for a specific event, but never to a point that felt unhealthy. My body fat has never dropped below 15%, and outside of my mom occasionally telling me I was getting too thin, nobody has ever expressed concern that I was underweight. When the diagnosis came, my coach was just as surprised as I was.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2DNyYzamX8hvDWrxWczByP-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2DNyYzamX8hvDWrxWczByP-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">&#8216;Something still wasn&#8217;t right&#8217; \u2013 Comeback falters for Chlo\u00e9 Dygert after months of rehab<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vYuMPxP5T8JcKDQY3vkQ2c-250-80.png.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vYuMPxP5T8JcKDQY3vkQ2c-150-80.png.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">My RED-S experience felt like a constant battle of trying to understand my body and failing, now I know less is more and that life isn&#8217;t all about cycling<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HCM9RK7FWGVtWfvfSYCjdC-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HCM9RK7FWGVtWfvfSYCjdC-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">&#8216;I\u2019ve got the worst of it out of the way&#8217; \u2013 Neve Bradbury settles into the waiting game after iliac artery endofibrosis surgery<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<div class=\"fancy-box kiosq-b\" id=\"elk-65f6bfb6-9d49-4f1e-a7a8-1ad2edfb09ae\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">Read more<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\"><strong>Read <\/strong><em><strong>Cyclingnews&#8217;<\/strong><\/em><strong> in-depth series on women&#8217;s health \u2013 covering nutrition, menstrual disorders, bone density, period tracking and more<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"elk-2dc44a57-6845-4be2-9f7b-3995947c56ff\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I think the weight gain is part of why I struggled to believe RED-S could be the answer.

I was losing my drive \u2013 not just on the bike, but in everyday life. Even things I normally enjoyed, like cleaning and organizing, felt harder. At the same time, I was still gaining weight, which made RED-S seem unlikely in my mind. Looking back, there were signs everywhere. I just didn&#8217;t see them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A team doctor pulled her aside during the spring, Dygert explained, to say that something didn&#8217;t seem right. Further conversations with the Canyon-SRAM team and management eventually led to the diagnosis that Dygert was suffering from RED-S, and the long-term impacts of several injuries.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"red-s-can-look-different-from-person-to-person-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8216;RED-S can look different from person to person&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-9e573ffc-12c4-4d2e-b061-f30151624a14\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Whilst RED-S is beginning to be understood and taken seriously more and more in professional cycling, it is still associated with a narrow set of symptoms and causes.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">In her post, Dygert was keen to recognise those common causes and cases, but also make clear how for riders like her, other struggles can be behind a RED-S diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t share this to take away from those whose RED-S developed through intentional under-fueling. Their experiences are real and deserve to be understood. I share it because RED-S can look different from person to person. Every body is different. Every story is different,&#8221; she wrote.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;For me, under-fueling wasn&#8217;t about not eating enough. It was about the gap between what my body was taking in and what it was being asked to handle. The repeated injuries, illness, recovery, stress, and physiological strain created a demand that eventually exceeded what my body could sustain. My body wasn&#8217;t starving from lack of food. It was starving from lack of recovery.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;After enough setbacks, enough restarts, enough stress, my body finally blew \u2013 and it blew in a big way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Despite saying in a previous post that pushing through and coming back is &#8220;the only way I know how&#8221;, Dygert now has to face up to the impact of a career that spans &#8220;11 seasons and not one went uninterrupted&#8221;. However, she was clear that there is another comeback in her yet.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;For now it\u2019s back to focusing on recovery, getting healthy, goals haven\u2019t changed,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;Just the path getting there has. I&#8217;ll be back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"slice-container-authorBio-ctVNqxrmyqmDeVDAZuQFBJ\" class=\"slice-container slice-author-bio authorBio-ctVNqxrmyqmDeVDAZuQFBJ slice-container-authorBio\">\n<div class=\"author author__default-layout author--separator author--collapsible\" data-hydrate=\"true\">\n<div class=\"author__header\">\n<div class=\"author__heading\">\n<div class=\"author__name\">Matilda Price<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__role\">Assistant Features Editor<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__bio-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"author__biography\">\n<p>Matilda is an NCTJ-qualified journalist based in the UK who joined <em>Cyclingnews <\/em>in March 2025.

how unusual symptoms and the lack of a weight problem made the diagnosis both difficult to identify and surprising to her and her coach.<\/p>\n<p>RED-S, or relative energy deficiency in sport, is often associated with under-fueling and low body weight, and in women, the loss of a regular period.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-2e05145d-4403-4666-bbad-3c45f5d370f2-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">But for Dygert, the diagnosis did not come with any problems of being underweight \u2013 in fact she explained that she has gained 9kg \u2013 which may have contributed to her not looking at RED-S as a possible explanation for the problems she has faced over the last year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\"

I&#8217;ve never had issues with food, which is why being diagnosed with RED-S came as such a surprise,&#8221; she said in a lengthy Instagram post on Monday.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve never been someone who was &#8216;sickly skinny&#8217;. There were certainly times I lost weight while preparing for a specific event, but never to a point that felt unhealthy. My body fat has never dropped below 15%, and outside of my mom occasionally telling me I was getting too thin, nobody has ever expressed concern that I was underweight. When the diagnosis came, my coach was just as surprised as I was.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2DNyYzamX8hvDWrxWczByP-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2DNyYzamX8hvDWrxWczByP-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">&#8216;Something still wasn&#8217;t right&#8217; \u2013 Comeback falters for Chlo\u00e9 Dygert after months of rehab<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vYuMPxP5T8JcKDQY3vkQ2c-250-80.png.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vYuMPxP5T8JcKDQY3vkQ2c-150-80.png.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">My RED-S experience felt like a constant battle of trying to understand my body and failing, now I know less is more and that life isn&#8217;t all about cycling<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HCM9RK7FWGVtWfvfSYCjdC-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HCM9RK7FWGVtWfvfSYCjdC-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">&#8216;I\u2019ve got the worst of it out of the way&#8217; \u2013 Neve Bradbury settles into the waiting game after iliac artery endofibrosis surgery<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<div class=\"fancy-box kiosq-b\" id=\"elk-65f6bfb6-9d49-4f1e-a7a8-1ad2edfb09ae\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">Read more<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\"><strong>Read <\/strong><em><strong>Cyclingnews&#8217;<\/strong><\/em><strong> in-depth series on women&#8217;s health \u2013 covering nutrition, menstrual disorders, bone density, period tracking and more<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"elk-2dc44a57-6845-4be2-9f7b-3995947c56ff\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I think the weight gain is part of why I struggled to believe RED-S could be the answer.

I was losing my drive \u2013 not just on the bike, but in everyday life. Even things I normally enjoyed, like cleaning and organizing, felt harder. At the same time, I was still gaining weight, which made RED-S seem unlikely in my mind. Looking back, there were signs everywhere. I just didn&#8217;t see them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A team doctor pulled her aside during the spring, Dygert explained, to say that something didn&#8217;t seem right. Further conversations with the Canyon-SRAM team and management eventually led to the diagnosis that Dygert was suffering from RED-S, and the long-term impacts of several injuries.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"red-s-can-look-different-from-person-to-person-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8216;RED-S can look different from person to person&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-9e573ffc-12c4-4d2e-b061-f30151624a14\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Whilst RED-S is beginning to be understood and taken seriously more and more in professional cycling, it is still associated with a narrow set of symptoms and causes.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">In her post, Dygert was keen to recognise those common causes and cases, but also make clear how for riders like her, other struggles can be behind a RED-S diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t share this to take away from those whose RED-S developed through intentional under-fueling. Their experiences are real and deserve to be understood. I share it because RED-S can look different from person to person. Every body is different. Every story is different,&#8221; she wrote.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;For me, under-fueling wasn&#8217;t about not eating enough. It was about the gap between what my body was taking in and what it was being asked to handle. The repeated injuries, illness, recovery, stress, and physiological strain created a demand that eventually exceeded what my body could sustain. My body wasn&#8217;t starving from lack of food. It was starving from lack of recovery.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;After enough setbacks, enough restarts, enough stress, my body finally blew \u2013 and it blew in a big way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Despite saying in a previous post that pushing through and coming back is &#8220;the only way I know how&#8221;, Dygert now has to face up to the impact of a career that spans &#8220;11 seasons and not one went uninterrupted&#8221;. However, she was clear that there is another comeback in her yet.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;For now it\u2019s back to focusing on recovery, getting healthy, goals haven\u2019t changed,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;Just the path getting there has. I&#8217;ll be back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"slice-container-authorBio-ctVNqxrmyqmDeVDAZuQFBJ\" class=\"slice-container slice-author-bio authorBio-ctVNqxrmyqmDeVDAZuQFBJ slice-container-authorBio\">\n<div class=\"author author__default-layout author--separator author--collapsible\" data-hydrate=\"true\">\n<div class=\"author__header\">\n<div class=\"author__heading\">\n<div class=\"author__name\">Matilda Price<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__role\">Assistant Features Editor<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__bio-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"author__biography\">\n<p>Matilda is an NCTJ-qualified journalist based in the UK who joined <em>Cyclingnews <\/em>in March 2025.

id=\"elk-2e05145d-4403-4666-bbad-3c45f5d370f2\">After revealing her RED-S diagnosis earlier this month, Chlo\u00e9 Dygert (Canyon-SRAM) has explained how unusual symptoms and the lack of a weight problem made the diagnosis both difficult to identify and surprising to her and her coach.<\/p>\n<p>RED-S, or relative energy deficiency in sport, is often associated with under-fueling and low body weight, and in women, the loss of a regular period.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-2e05145d-4403-4666-bbad-3c45f5d370f2-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">But for Dygert, the diagnosis did not come with any problems of being underweight \u2013 in fact she explained that she has gained 9kg \u2013 which may have contributed to her not looking at RED-S as a possible explanation for the problems she has faced over the last year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel

I&#8217;ve never had issues with food, which is why being diagnosed with RED-S came as such a surprise,&#8221; she said in a lengthy Instagram post on Monday.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve never been someone who was &#8216;sickly skinny&#8217;. There were certainly times I lost weight while preparing for a specific event, but never to a point that felt unhealthy. My body fat has never dropped below 15%, and outside of my mom occasionally telling me I was getting too thin, nobody has ever expressed concern that I was underweight. When the diagnosis came, my coach was just as surprised as I was.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2DNyYzamX8hvDWrxWczByP-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2DNyYzamX8hvDWrxWczByP-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">&#8216;Something still wasn&#8217;t right&#8217; \u2013 Comeback falters for Chlo\u00e9 Dygert after months of rehab<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vYuMPxP5T8JcKDQY3vkQ2c-250-80.png.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vYuMPxP5T8JcKDQY3vkQ2c-150-80.png.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">My RED-S experience felt like a constant battle of trying to understand my body and failing, now I know less is more and that life isn&#8217;t all about cycling<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HCM9RK7FWGVtWfvfSYCjdC-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HCM9RK7FWGVtWfvfSYCjdC-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">&#8216;I\u2019ve got the worst of it out of the way&#8217; \u2013 Neve Bradbury settles into the waiting game after iliac artery endofibrosis surgery<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<div class=\"fancy-box kiosq-b\" id=\"elk-65f6bfb6-9d49-4f1e-a7a8-1ad2edfb09ae\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">Read more<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\"><strong>Read <\/strong><em><strong>Cyclingnews&#8217;<\/strong><\/em><strong> in-depth series on women&#8217;s health \u2013 covering nutrition, menstrual disorders, bone density, period tracking and more<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"elk-2dc44a57-6845-4be2-9f7b-3995947c56ff\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I think the weight gain is part of why I struggled to believe RED-S could be the answer.

I was losing my drive \u2013 not just on the bike, but in everyday life. Even things I normally enjoyed, like cleaning and organizing, felt harder. At the same time, I was still gaining weight, which made RED-S seem unlikely in my mind. Looking back, there were signs everywhere. I just didn&#8217;t see them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A team doctor pulled her aside during the spring, Dygert explained, to say that something didn&#8217;t seem right. Further conversations with the Canyon-SRAM team and management eventually led to the diagnosis that Dygert was suffering from RED-S, and the long-term impacts of several injuries.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"red-s-can-look-different-from-person-to-person-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8216;RED-S can look different from person to person&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-9e573ffc-12c4-4d2e-b061-f30151624a14\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Whilst RED-S is beginning to be understood and taken seriously more and more in professional cycling, it is still associated with a narrow set of symptoms and causes.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">In her post, Dygert was keen to recognise those common causes and cases, but also make clear how for riders like her, other struggles can be behind a RED-S diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t share this to take away from those whose RED-S developed through intentional under-fueling. Their experiences are real and deserve to be understood. I share it because RED-S can look different from person to person. Every body is different. Every story is different,&#8221; she wrote.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;For me, under-fueling wasn&#8217;t about not eating enough. It was about the gap between what my body was taking in and what it was being asked to handle. The repeated injuries, illness, recovery, stress, and physiological strain created a demand that eventually exceeded what my body could sustain. My body wasn&#8217;t starving from lack of food. It was starving from lack of recovery.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;After enough setbacks, enough restarts, enough stress, my body finally blew \u2013 and it blew in a big way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Despite saying in a previous post that pushing through and coming back is &#8220;the only way I know how&#8221;, Dygert now has to face up to the impact of a career that spans &#8220;11 seasons and not one went uninterrupted&#8221;. However, she was clear that there is another comeback in her yet.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;For now it\u2019s back to focusing on recovery, getting healthy, goals haven\u2019t changed,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;Just the path getting there has.
