In this brief YouTube segment, Kelsey Higginson addresses teenage female athletes (ages 15‑17) who ask about losing body fat. She argues that most of these athletes are dealing with body‑dysmorphic concerns and should not prioritize fat loss. Instead, she urges them to set performance‑oriented goals such as increasing strength or speed, emphasizing that focusing on lifting heavier or running faster will naturally improve body composition, confidence, and overall well‑being. She stresses the importance of proper fueling and advises that only those with genuine health issues should seek professional guidance from a dietitian or doctor.
