Where It All Began...

I am a former Spanish national track athlete and endurance cyclist. I suffered from REDs as an athlete from toxic coaching and a lack of awareness of energy deficiency. As a result, I tore my achilles and my meniscus which stopped my dreams of a D1 scholarship in the USA.

I founded RED-Scue to stop other athletes going down the same underfuelling/overtraining route I took by offering accessible, easy-to-eat energy restoration bites.

Throughout that time, I was given the same generic advice — “eat more and train less” — which didn’t address my specific deficiencies or support me through recovery.

That gap inspired RED-Scue: an athlete-first, accessible, and portable fuelling snack that not only supports recovery but also sparks conversation around RED-S. Each bite is built on the three main deficiencies in RED-S and the low carbohydrate availability common in low energy availability (LEA).

The name is inspired by the combination between REDs and rescue!
