Eat More Carbs | A Period Recovery Podcast

In this episode of Eat More Carbs, Jenna and Lilly break down a real life hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) recovery case study of a Division 1 collegiate female distance runner who got her period back while training and competing in college. They discuss the biggest challenges she faced as a college runner, including high training volume, chronic underfueling, fear of weight gain, performance pressure, and the mental barriers that often keep female athletes stuck without a period. Jenna and Lilly walk through what actually supported her period recovery, how consistent fueling and mindset shifts played a role in restoring her cycle, and where she is now in her HA recovery journey as a competitive runner.

In this episode, Jenna, Reilly, and Lilly break down one of the most misunderstood topics in period recovery: the idea that going “all in” is the only way forward. 

Using a real athlete case study from Lilly’s coaching, the team walks through what it actually looks like to get a period back in a way that supports performance, health, and longevity in the sport. They dig into why strict, one-size-fits-all recovery methods might not be the right fit for every athlete and why RBSN takes an individualized approach to the period recovery journey.

As the year winds down, Jenna, Reilly, and Lilly dive into one of the most chaotic parts of December: the pressure to set massive goals before January even arrives. In this Bananas episode, they unpack why so many athletes feel pushed to overhaul their routines, in the final weeks of the year.

They also call out some of the most unhinged trends they’ve seen on Instagram lately that seem tailor made to derail period recovery and balanced training. It’s equal parts eye roll and education as they break down what’s actually helpful versus what’s just holiday season noise.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by end of year expectations, confused by extreme social media advice, this episode is for you!
