You've gained weight, you've been eating more food consistently, you've even reduced or stopped working out. This isn't making SENSE! I get it and as a coach who works with many women with amenorrhea all of the time, this isn't an uncommon concern.

  • I want to like it but….

    I REALLY want to like this podcast because I adore Dani and think the message is great. And I’m not trying to be mean but all the episodes where Ashley is interviewing are actually painful to listen to. I had to turn off the Lily Nichols episode because Ashley would go on these 5 min tangents where she said absolutely nothing, instead of letting her expert guest actually talk. She could use some interview skills lessons and some help with tightening up the word salad.

  • Changed My LIfe

    This podcast was one of the biggest sources of inspiration and information to me as I worked to heal my body from HA. Once I made the changes and trusted in the stories of the beautiful women interviewed, I had a period one month later. Don’t let any practitioner tell you that you are healthy without a period. Your body, mind, and spirit will thank you for engaging in these conversations.

  • Real talk, no fluff

    Dani, Ashley and Mishi really know how to call you out on your st*ff. But in a good way. This is a great podcast as someone who has struggled with disordered eating and HA for many years. So much practical information and real life stories.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

379.“I’ll Get My Period Back, Then Go Back to Normal”: Recovery Story w/Zoe
Q: What were the main things that needed to happen for you in recovery?
Zoe explains that eliminating excessive exercise was the primary change, followed by aligning eating patterns and learning to handle energy balance, with ongoing coaching helping to maintain momentum and address mindset shifts.
381. I Was “Healthy”… So Why Was My Period Missing? :Recovery Story w/Carlin
Q: Where did this journey start for you?
Carlin describes a gradual realization from years of active living and a later pattern of restrictive eating and stress, which coincided with missing periods and a lack of reliable medical answers, ultimately leading her to pursue HA-focused guidance.
373. Period Recovery WEIGHT GAIN, SET POINT THEORY, SLEEP PROBLEMS, PREGNANCY + MORE
Q: What advice would you give me about managing weight gain during recovery and whether I should change exercise intensity during pregnancy?
Prioritize nourishing yourself adequately and avoid aggressive dieting; give your body time to regain metabolic safety, and consider reducing or scaling back exercise intensity if energy availability is uncertain, focusing on consistency and listening to hunger cues rather than chasing a fixed weight target.
371. How Katie Recovered from Hypothalamic Amenorrhea and Became an HA Recovery Coach
Q: What drew you to HA coaching after your own recovery?
Seeing the impact of stories and the need for a holistic approach that combines science with personal support motivated me to coach others and help them navigate the identity shifts that come with recovery.
366. Q&A's: pregnancy hunger, recovery sleep disruptions, weight gain and set point + MORE
Q: Hi Dani. I have a question about weight gain during recovery. How long does it usually last and will my body adapt to the calories I'm eating, with set point theory in mind? How can I accept my body?
The panel explains that weight gain during recovery varies widely; some people keep weight on for a while before it shifts, others lose more quickly. They emphasize not dieting or forcing rapid changes and encourage leaving the body alone for six months to a year to allow metabolic healing, after which body composition and set point can adjust more naturally. Acceptance comes from focusing on life goals beyond the body and recognizing the body as a vehicle for those pursuits rather than the sole source of happiness.
