Ep.25/ What really happens when you don’t have a period (it’s not just about fertility)
Your period isn’t just about fertility - it’s a vital sign. In this episode, I’m breaking down what really happens when your body loses its rhythm and you are living in a low-estrogen state. From bone loss and heart health risks to the emotional rollercoaster that comes with hormonal imbalance, I’ll explain why missing your period is anything but normal.
I’m also sharing one of my own wake-up calls - being diagnosed with osteopenia at just 23 - and how that moment completely shifted what I believed about “health.” You will hear how hypothalamic amenorrhea impacts not only your body, but also your brain, mood, and long-term wellbeing, along with the emotional and financial costs that can come with trying to force fertility before your body is truly ready.
If you have ever brushed off your missing period because you are “not trying for a baby anyway,” this episode will change the way you see your cycle - and help you take the first steps to restore your health.
