The Hypothalamic Amenorrhea Podcast

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll do what it takes to get my period back…I just really don’t want to gain THAT much weight,” you’re going to relate to Ali.Ali spent years in and out of recovery, sometimes bleeding, sometimes not, but never really letting go of the food control or trusting her body. And when she finally decided she wanted to become a mom, she had to face the thing she’d been afraid of since childhood...allowing her body to change without knowing exactly where it would land.We talk about her years of “quasi-recovery,” trying to find a way to recover while staying thin, the very real fear of weight gain, and what changed when she finally said, essentially, screw it, I’m doing this.Once Ali went all-in, she got her first period in about 50 days, ovulated, and eventually got pregnant on her third ovulation.If you’re currently trying to figure out how to recover without having to fully surrender to recovery…this episode is for you.Restore Your Fertility LIVE Group Coaching Programhttps://www.thehasociety.com/restore-liveRestore Your Fertility Blueprinthttps://www.thehasociety.com/Work 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingVisit us on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/c/danisheriffFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehasocietyhttp://instagram.com/danisheriffhttps://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarciahttps://www.instagram.com/abbylowekey/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Mady thought she’d go all-in on HA recovery, get her period back in 3 months and move on with her life. Instead, recovery took about a year and forced her to completely rethink health, her identity as the “healthy girl,” weight gain and her need for control. Ironically, it wasn’t until she stopped making recovery the center of her life and started actually LIVING again that her period finally came back.Restore Your Fertility LIVE Group Coaching Programhttps://www.thehasociety.com/restore-liveRestore Your Fertility Blueprinthttps://www.thehasociety.com/Work 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingVisit us on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/c/danisheriffFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehasocietyhttp://instagram.com/danisheriffhttps://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarciahttps://www.instagram.com/abbylowekey/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

You've gained weight, you've been eating more food consistently, you've even reduced or stopped working out. This isn't making SENSE! I get it and as a coach who works with many women with amenorrhea all of the time, this isn't an uncommon concern.In this video I walk through the common misconceptions of weight gain, thought process traps and mindset reframes for those of you who actually MAY need to still let their body do it's thing.Watch the Masterclasshttps://thehasociety.com/masterclassRestore Your Fertility LIVE Group Coaching Programhttps://www.thehasociety.com/restore-liveRestore Your Fertility Blueprinthttps://www.thehasociety.com/Work 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingVisit us on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/c/danisheriffFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehasocietyhttp://instagram.com/danisheriffhttps://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarciahttps://www.instagram.com/abbylowekey/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

What if you’re doing everything “healthy”… but your period is still missing?Carlin had always been active. Over time, intermittent fasting, restrictive eating, exercise, weight loss and life stress slowly became her normal. When she eventually had her IUD removed to start trying for a baby, her period never came back.After multiple doctors, bloodwork, ultrasounds and even an MRI left her without a clear answer, Carlin discovered hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) and for the first time, her missing period started to make sense.In this episode, Carlin shares what she actually had to change to recover her cycle, why “eating more” on her own wasn’t enough, the struggle of stepping away from exercise and gaining weight, and how she went from years without a natural period to ovulating again and ultimately getting pregnant.If you’ve lost your period, have been told everything looks “normal,” or feel like you’re already doing everything to get your cycle back, you’ll see a lot of yourself in Carlin’s story.Restore Your Fertility LIVE Group Coachinghttps://www.thehasociety.com/restore-liveRestore Your Fertility Blueprinthttps://www.thehasociety.com/Work 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingVisit us on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/c/danisheriffFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehasocietyhttp://instagram.com/danisheriffhttps://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarciahttps://www.instagram.com/abbylowekey/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
