The Holistic Period Recovery Podcast

If HA me met this me at a coffee shop, she would have never believed me. 6 whole weeks without exercise for a reason other then losing my period… The crazy thing is, I actually learned much more than I ever thought I was going to- in the best way possible. Loathe to today’s episode as I talk about: ❤️why I didn’t go to the gym for 6 weeks ❤️what I learned ❤️what shocked me ❤️& how it relates to HA...

I know you’re probably chomping at the bit to get back to exercising at full capacity as soon as you recover your period. I get it. I understand the urgency and eagerness to erase any evidence that period recovery happened or, realistically, is still happening. Period recovery isn’t a one and done type deal you know.. you kinda gotta keep getting periods. Month after month. And going back to exerc...

It’s an interesting concept that when our body is screaming with signs to slow down aka no period… we decide it’s the best time to ramp things up and push harder everyday 😵‍💫 It’s not a coincidence though- that constant feeling of always needing to do more while also experiencing period loss. Listen to today’s episode as I go over: 🔹 feeling like you’re never productive enough while in HA 🔹 fe...

If you’ve lost your period due to idolizing food and exercise - welcome. You’ve come to the right place!

There is so much stress that we experience while in HA. The stress of not having a period, the stress of not being healthy enough, not eating clean enough or working out enough, and then to top it off: the stress of our jobs & personal life. And you’ve probably thought to yourself at least once: “Is it even possible to recover my period if I feel stressed at work? Or school?” The short answer is-...

In reality, most of us desperately want to recover our periods. So why do we hesitate so much? We do we push off putting our health and our fertility first? The truth is- the fear you have isn’t usually about recovery itself. It’s about everything you believe recovery will cost you. Listen to today’s episode as I go over: ➡️ common reasons I hear as a coach as to why woman are hesitant to recover...

It’s not a new idea that society tip toes around the concept of not eating enough. Does girl dinner ring a bell to anyone? Picky plates? Or “I’m just intermittent fasting.. everyday.” Just because we change the vocabulary around undereating doesn’t mean that it isn’t happening. Undereating has become so normalized in women with HA that now we think eating enough is bingeing. In today’s episode I c...

I get it. It’s much easier said than done. To stop comparing your HA journey to others. But what if I told you comparison is the thief of your progress? Listen to today’s episode as I talk about: ➡️how easy it is for us to get stuck comparing our progress to other woman ➡️what it takes for one woman to recover, may not be what YOU need ➡️what you see online in regards to “recovery,” needs to be ta...

I decided to sit down and just chat with you guys. No topic, no where to be, just you, me, and my luteal phase brain 😅 The luteal phase is the phase of your cycle AFTER you ovulate. So once you are cycling woman again, you will experience what it means to be in your luteal phase🤭 Today I talked about whatever came to my mind! We covered: ➡️getting lab work for your HA ➡️how HA recovery is a lear...

If I had to guess, you’re probably considered the “healthy” friend, right? The friend who cares SO much about her health, does everything “right,” and is praised for her discipline by everyone around her. Except there’s one thing missing.. your period. 🎙️Listen to today’s episode as I talk about: ➡️how our view of health is skewed while in HA ➡️ how society has normalized that just looking a certa...

Sooo you got off birth control 6 months ago but your period still hasn’t shown up?

It’s a hard concept to face that the version of you in HA is a version you are never going back to.. if you plan on keeping your period… The past version of you that you: 🥲subconsciously or consciously cling too. 🥲that you still see as leaner, more disciplined, or better somehow. 🥲maybe you believe that you were more attractive back then Whatever it may be : we have somehow convinced ourselves...

Progesterone gets no attention in period recovery & I honestly get why. Progesterone only starts coming back on the scene once you ovulate. So while you’re stuck in HA, progesterone is at an all time low… until you go through recovery and successfully ovulate 😏 In today’s episode, I wanted to give progesterone the attention it deserves. Progesterone plays a part in so many functions in our body a...

Everyone’s favorite topic while in period recovery, whether we like to admit it or not… is weight gain and slowed metabolism. It seems like weight gain just happens so quickly when you’re recovering from hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA)… And lot of women automatically assume their metabolism is “broken” while in recovery. In this episode of the Holistic Period Recovery Podcast, we’re breaking down wha...

Nervous system dysregulation is deeply connected to Hypothalamic Amenorrhea. Whether you want to believe it or not, if you are in HA, if you don’t have a period- there is a layer of nervous system dysregulation going on in the background. The lifestyle that causes us to develop Hypothalamic Amenorrhea is surprisingly not supportive of a regulated and calm nervous system (sarcasm). 😅 In today’s ep...

When you first start your period recovery journey, cervical mucus usually isn’t the first thing on your mind. We somehow all come to the conclusion that eating more and resting more are the top interventions. Whether someone told you this advice or you found it online. We do start to do these things and pray our period comes back. We cross our fingers without really paying attention to that fact t...

If you are currently in HA, or have been through period recovery, there’s a good chance you’ve been down the “wellness” or biohacking rabbit hole. And if you’ve ever felt like the online wellness culture is stressful or contributed to the loss of your period in some way…you’re not alone. In today’s episode, I go over: ➡️ How the wellness industry promotes HA behaviors & stress ➡️ How woman can eas...

Is it just me or did the obsession with exercise intensify AFTER your period went missing? Of course exercise is a large component of Hypothalamic Amenorrhea, we know this. But funny enough, the compulsive behavior that leads us to be consumed with needing to exercise or needing to constantly be moving…the kind of hyper fixation that causes us to ignore our injuries or our hunger…seems to ramp up...

Have you ever noticed that, right now while you’re deep in HA, it feels almost impossible to slow down? You feel rushed all the time, you have no patience, and even rest feels uncomfortable? Many women assume that this is just their personality, but while you are in Hypothalamic Amenorrhea, it’s a sign of something deeper. Listen to Today’s episode as I unpack: ➡️ why we feel so rushed while in HA...

You know those little ‘quirky’ things you like to do? Those funny habits you’ve developed since losing your period?

Have you ever thought to yourself that because you don’t see yourself as super thin - it’s not possible for you to have hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA)? I’m here to tell you that it absolutely is possible! The idea that you have to be a certain weight to have HA, ignores the whole reason why you have HA in the first place.. Listen to today’s episode as I walk through: ➡️The mindset surrounding “not b...

Raise your hand if you’ve ever thought of period recovery in a negative way 🙋‍♀️ I know I have.

But in today’s episode- I want to help shift your mindset. I want to help you look at recovery in the grand scheme of things. By the end of this episode, I h...

It is more common then you think for women with Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA) to be mistakenly diagnosed with PCOS. Most concerningly, the treatment for each of these conditions varies greatly. This is why it is so crucial to understand the full picture as to why someone has a lack of a period. Hormone levels and testing needs to be considered in the context of the lifestyle the woman is living! In...
