Well On Her Way with Dani Marenburg

134. How to Get Your Period Back After Birth Control (Naturally!) | Victoria Myers, Period Recovery Specialist


Listen Later

Ever feel like you’re doing everything “right” with your health and still can’t figure out why your period’s gone MIA? Or maybe you’re confused about what’s really going on post birth control and wonder if you’ll ever feel “normal” again.

In this episode, I sit back down with period recovery specialist Victoria Myers to unpack the overlooked signs of hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), the science-backed practical strategies real women are using to regain their cycles and fertility naturally, and finally getting real answers when you’ve been dismissed or misunderstood. 

We’re digging into why so many women are told IVF is their only option, how to differentiate between HA and PCOS (and yes, you can have both), what labs and lifestyle tweaks actually matter, and exactly what it takes to feel safe in your body so your hormones and fertility can thrive. So if you’re ready to focus on the right changes to make your cycle regular again, even if you’ve struggled for years or lost hope, hit play and let’s dive in.

3:54 – Why Root Cause Investigation (HA vs. PCOS) Should Always Come First

9:22 – How Eating More and Exercising Less Can Jumpstart Period Recovery

14:34 – How Tracking Basal Body Temperature and Cervical Mucus Confirms Ovulation

19:34 – What 2,500 Calories a Day Can Do for Your Hormones (Yes, Even If You’re Petite)

29:33 – Why Self-Worth and Body Image Are Tightly Linked with Period Health and The Best First Steps To Take If You Suspect HA or Irregular Cycles
