What does it really mean if you are not getting your period?
In this episode, Dr. Leah sits down with her dear friend and colleague, Dr. Elly Michelle, to dive deep into hypothalamic amenorrhea, a condition where the body stops ovulating and menstruating due to stress, undernourishment, or imbalance.
We unpack the root causes of missing periods and explore the delicate balance between exercise, movement, and proper nourishment. You will learn how overtraining, undereating, and chronic stress can signal to the body that it is not safe to reproduce, ultimately impacting your hormones and fertility.
Dr. Elly shares her personal story of navigating disordered eating and the path to healing, offering both hope and practical insight for anyone struggling with similar challenges. We also discuss how reconnecting with your feminine side, slowing down, and supporting your body can play a powerful role in restoring your cycle.
Whether your goal is to regulate your hormones, recover your period, or prepare your body for pregnancy, this episode provides both education and encouragement. Healing is possible, and your body is capable of finding balance again with the right support.
