Description

If you have ever thought, “why am I suddenly starving all the time?” or “why am I not hungry, does that mean I’m back to square one?” - girl, you are not alone. This part of recovery can feel like a total mind game, and it’s easy to start second-guessing everything.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with you and walking you through:

- What no hunger actually means in hypothalamic amenorrhea recovery, and why it’s not a “green light” to go back to restriction

- Why extreme hunger is one of the clearest signs your body is trying to heal and not something to fear

- How both can show up in the same week (yep, it’s confusing and I have been there)

- What all of this means for your period coming back and your long-term healing

Bottom line: You are not broken. This is normal. And your body is wiser than you think.
