Sarah shares her journey of regulating her menstrual cycle and conceiving two children. She initially experienced irregular periods after coming off birth control, which led her to make lifestyle changes. She stopped intermittent fasting, ate more balanced meals, and dialed back her intense exercise routine. Through these changes, she was able to regulate her cycle and conceive her first child. After nursing her first child, she got her period back and was able to conceive her second child. Sarah's perspective on exercise and eating has shifted, and she now focuses on enjoying movement, listening to her body, and being present with her children.

In this solo podcast episode, Cynthia discusses the five biggest myths and misconceptions surrounding hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) or missing periods. She starts by addressing the mainstream medical approach to HA, which often involves prescribing birth control pills. Cynthia emphasizes that her approach as a registered dietitian is different and aims to provide better information for making informed decisions. She also highlights that HA is a global issue and can affect individuals of all shapes and sizes. Cynthia then explores the misconception that HA is often misdiagnosed as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and the importance of asking the right questions to differentiate between the two conditions. She also addresses the misconception that getting your period back is only important for fertility, when in fact it has significant implications for overall health, including heart disease and osteoporosis. Cynthia also discusses the misconception that you don't need to gain weight or make further changes if you've already made some progress in recovering from HA. Lastly, she emphasizes the importance of seeking support and not giving up if you've tried various approaches and haven't seen progress in getting your period back.
The mainstream medical approach to hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) often involves prescribing birth control pills, but there are alternative approaches that focus on better information and individualized care.HA is a global issue that can affect individuals of all shapes and sizes, not just those with low BMI or specific body types.It is important to ask the right questions and differentiate between HA and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.Getting your period back is not just important for fertility, but also for overall health, including reducing the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis.If you've already made some progress in recovering from HA, it may be necessary to make further changes, including weight gain, to fully restore your menstrual cycle.Seeking support and not giving up are crucial if you've tried various approaches and haven't seen progress in getting your period back.
