Is HA recovery permanent? Let’s unpack this!

In this episode of the HERhythm Podcast, I am tackling one of the biggest fears women have in hypothalamic amenorrhea recovery: “Will I ever get to feel like myself again?”  Whether you are worried about permanent weight gain, changes in body composition, or wondering if you will ever return to your sport or high-level performance - this episode will explain all of this and more!

Here’s what you can expect to learn about:

- Why HA recovery can feel permanent (but isn’t)

- What actually happens with weight gain and body composition

- Can you return to intense training?

- How social media, fitness trends, and diet culture skew our beliefs

- Answering your top FAQs on this topic

- And how to finally move beyond black-and-white thinking and embrace a sustainable, flexible lifestyle

If you are navigating recovery or questioning what happens after, this episode breaks it down - with both science and lived experience.
