BONUS: Do you have to gain weight to get your period back and recover from hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA)?
Wondering if it’s possible to recover from hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) without gaining weight? You are not alone because this is one of the most common (and loaded) questions in the recovery space. In this episode, we dig deep into what this question really means, why it’s so hard to let go of weight control, and what the science and lived experience tell us about what it truly takes to restore your period.
In this episode I cover:
- The question everyone asks- can I get my period back without gaining weight?
- The fear behind the question - and why this mindset can keep you stuck
- The lifestyle piece you might be overlooking - stress, perfectionism, and control
- Why recovery is a season of life- not forever
- Why you can’t hack recovery and what to do instead
- Why trying it your way and tracking progress honestly matters
This episode is for the high-achieving girl trying to do recovery perfectly - I see you, and I have been there. If you are stuck in limbo, trying to get your period back while holding on tight to body control, let this be the perspective shift you didn’t know you needed.
