Episode 89: 6 mistakes you’re making if you’re missing your period (even though you’re not under weight)
You might not need to gain weight to get your period back…you might just need to shift your habits a bit to be more optimal for your hormones. Many women struggle with period loss (hypothalamic amenorrhea) even though they are not underweight. This was the case for me too, so I have a lot of experience with how to bring your period back even if you’re not underweight! Today, I’m sharing 6 reasons why your period could be missing that have nothing to do with your weight!
I discuss…
• How you can lose your period even if you’re not underweight • How macronutrients impact your hormones and period • Why I don’t agree with eating tons of “junk food” to get your period back • How nervous system dysregulation can impact your hormones and period • Common traumas I see associated with period loss and hypothalamic amenorrhea • Ways you might be over-stressing your body outside of food • How meal timing impacts your hormones • My thoughts on intermittent fasting • What body fat percentage do you need in order to ovulate • Ovulation set point theory • How binge-restrict cycles can impact your hormones • How food dysregulation can lead to missing periods even at a healthy weight
