I'm not that lean, so why don't I have a period? Surely it can't be missing due to my weight if I'm not even that thin? Good question and understandable concerns but NO! You absolutely can have hypothalamic amenorrhea at a normal weight.

Whether you're trying to conceive, recovering from hypothalamic amenorrhea, or tracking ovulation, join us as we chat practical tips and empowering insights to help you thrive during the two-week wait.

Caroline was a Restore Your Fertility Group program member, who had a long history with HA but a quick turn around in the program.
In this episode she shares specifics on what she changed and worked on, as well as roadblocks she faced like her second period coming sooner than her third... thanks to introducing exercise too soon! It's a juicy one - enjoy!

In today's episode, Melody from our Restore Your Fertility group program opens up about her journey from hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) to ovulation and ultimately, pregnancy, all within a remarkable 12-week period!
But as we all know, the path to there isn't always smooth sailing. Melody faced significant hurdles along the way, including grappling with doubts related to PCOS and navigating the challenge of letting go of her fit girl identity.
Tune in to hear Melody's inspiring story—it's a testament to resilience and the power of determination. I'm certain many of you will find her journey relatable and inspiring.
The PCOS study I mentioned (and slightly butchered 😂).

There are many things that are important for period recovery. As a coach, when I look at client food logs and consider recommendations, there are a few things that come up time and time again. Today, I'm sharing them with you.
Adrenal cocktail ideas:
ADRENAL COCKTAILS
Option 1:
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tsp cream of tarter
Splash of Redmonds
Sea Salt
Option 2:
11 oz Coconut Water
¼ tsp Celtic Sea Salt
½ lime
1 scoop Natural Calm
Ice
Option 3: This one is called "Creamsicle Adrenal Cocktail"
1/2 cup pull-free orange juice, no sugar added (and preferably freshly squeezed)
2 tbs coconut milk, unsweetened
1 scoop vanilla (or unflavored) collagen
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp sea salt or pink Himalayan salt
- Root vegetables, under rated for recovery!
- Reducing/removing caffeine. Here is a link to my video about caffeine: https://youtu.be/hD5aRude7GM
- Eating regularly, including snacks: Snacks between all meals help with blood sugar, energy and getting calories in.
- Eating protein, carbs and fat with all main meals: blood sugar, cals, stress... all the things!
- Eating first thing in the morning: same as above - calories, stress etc.

On a random weekend in March, we gathered 7 of us HA'ers from the community in to a beautiful Airbnb in Joshua Tree, California.
I took this opportunity to sit them all down and ask them some questions about their recovery experiences and stories. I hope you find this episode entertaining and inspiring!
