Show Notes
If your period has gone missing, or has never been quite right, this episode is the starting point. Hypothalamic Amenorrhea is one of the most common and most misunderstood causes of missing periods in women, and most of us have never even heard of it. In Part 1 of the HA Series I'm breaking down what HA actually is, what's happening in your body when it occurs, and what recovery looks like, from the inside out. No medical jargon, just real information that I wish someone had given me a long time ago. We cover: What hypothalamic amenorrhea actually is and how it works The three main drivers and why they rarely exist in isolation What's happening hormonally when your period disappears Who gets HA (and why it's not always who you'd expect) How to reverse it and what recovery looks like internally and externally What else you need to know, including common misdiagnoses and why the pill isn't a fix

Happy 1 Year Period Anniversary to Me! On today's episode I reflected back on my own period recovery journey and the mental shifts that came along with it. Recovery forced me to change my whole belief system, trust in a process I didn't even know was working and rediscover who I was before the world told me who I should be. Here are 7 quotes that rewired my brain and altered my brain chemistry and I hope that they might do the same for you. Thank you all for being here! xo
We’re kicking off this QOTW episode with a little life update. Then we’re getting into sleep - my top tips for actually getting better rest and why so many of the things we do without thinking are quietly wrecking it.
This week it’s a Q&A and we’re getting into all of it - the personal stuff and the recovery stuff. This one feels like a proper catch up and I loved every second of it.
This week I’m sharing the nutrition advice I find myself giving again and again as a women’s health coach, the stuff that actually moves the needle and that mainstream nutrition culture consistently gets wrong.
This week's question is one I think so many of us need to hear answered honestly because rest guilt is real, it is incredibly common, and it has nothing to do with being lazy.
