Struggling with a missing period, fear of weight gain, or feeling stuck between your fitness goals and your hormonal health?
In today’s video, I’m breaking down exactly how to restore your menstrual cycle without extreme weight gain, without quitting the gym, and without feeling like you’re starting over.
This is a science-backed, sustainable approach to recovering from functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA), improving your hormone health, and rebuilding a positive relationship with food, exercise, and your body.
