  • In this episode, Nicola speaks with Dr. Chrisandra Shufelt to discuss:

    How Dr. Shulfelt came to be interested in amenorrhea and heart health. Ways in which it's reasonable to make comparisons between people who are post-menopausal versus amenorrheic. Low estrogen affects the stretchiness of blood vessels, changes in cholesterol, and can be associated with insulin resistance.

    Dr. Shufelt's next study is looking at which factor underlying amenorrhea might have the biggest effects on heart health. She tells us about some of the results from the study she and colleagues just completed.

    We discuss risk factors for heart disease, traditional and "non-traditional" (i.e. things that mostly affect women). The impact of cholesterol, and how quickly changes in cholesterol and bone health are seen.

    Dr. Shufelt tells us about her recently completed study of vascular function in people with amenorrhea versus menopause versus normal menstrual cycles and shares some of the results, including some interesting notes on inflammatory factors.

    We chat about hormone replacement versus birth control pills and which is preferable and when, what the effects of the placebo week might be...

    Factors that biological females should be aware of with regards to heart attacks, risk factors, and conversations with your doctors around your personal risk.

    Dr. Shulfelt is active on twitter, find her @cshufeltmd

  • In this episode, Nicola and Florence meet Jamie, non-diet fitness Personal Trainer.
    Jamie explains what led her to become a PT and a Zumba instructor, as well as a physio assistant. Jamie shares how she never really felt close to the appearance-focused fitness values in her field, and was practicing a much more compassionate, mindful approach to her job, even before learning about Health At Every Size.

    Together we discuss toxic fitness culture, how to come out of exercise addiction thanks to the acronym FIL (Feel, Impact, Lesson), what Jamie understands as "movement for more" and how she helps her clients reframe their relationship with exercise. We also discuss what led Jamie to stop subscribing to Zumba as an instructor.

    Attention! Please make sure to only consider personal training AFTER recovering at least 3 periods. (http://noperiod.info/wait-three-cycles)

    You can find Jamie via @fitragamuffin or www.fitragamuffin.com to subscribe to her virtual training programs.

  • In this episode, Nicola and Florence meet Ragen Chastain. Ragen is a HAES Speaker, Writer, Dancer, Marathoner, ACE Certified Health Coach and Functional Fitness Specialist, in Training to be an Iron-Distance Triathlete, Activist, and the brains behind The WeightAndHealthcare Newsletter on Substack.

    Ragen starts by telling us about her story with dieting, overexercising, and losing her periods. Having a research and statistics masters, Ragen researched the internet for the best way to lose weight. She was shocked to realise there was not a single study documenting valuable evidence as to weight loss being somehow effective or sustainable.

    From there, she started looking into links between body weight and health, and became a well-regarded expert on Health at Every Size (HAES), especially in medical circles.

    During this interview, Ragen exposes how to detect and address weight bias in the doctor’s office; what to answer when others comment on your food or body as they are working on recovery and how to tackle internalised fatphobia in each of us while making the world more inclusive.

    In this episode, Ragen mentions books on understanding the racist roots of the BMI:
    Sabrina Strings, Fearing the black body available here
    De'shaun Harrison, The belly of the beast available here

  • In this episode, Nicola and Florence welcome Aurelie Montenair. Raised in France where most girls start dieting at 8, Aurelie went on her first diet as an 18 year old. She tells us about her descent into full-blown orthorexia and HA, and what it took to deconstruct many of the beliefs about body size, health and women she had internalised since childhood.

    Together we explore European culture when it comes to thinness, health and fatphobia, control and denial, and also why girls and women are raised to believe that their appearance and getting external validation from others is the most important thing to nurture.

    Aurelie's story takes many twists and turns, and then she talks about her recovery too, why community mattered so much for her to stay strong and the process of unlearning that accompanied getting her periods back.

    You can follow Aurelie via @auremtr
