    The best treatment for female athlete triad is prevention. Prevention and early recognition can mediate the deleterious effects of the female athlete triad. If you are too late for prevention you should use the expertise of a nutritionist to help design an appropriate diet that is specific to your sport and to your body’s energy needs. In addition you should see a counselor to help resolve disordered eating patterns. Lastly, emotional support from parents, coaches or friends will be an added benefit.
