Period Recovery and Fertility Podcast

Ep 30: Amenorrhea for 10 years, Why dietitians need dietitians, and finding the the gaps in your recovery plan


Listen Later

Sam is a registered sports dietitian in Massachusetts whose HA journey began over 10 years ago. She battled disordered eating and excessive exercise under the guise of health for years. When she finally sought out help for her missing period, she was assured by several doctors that she was on the right track and needed to give her body more time. Sam stopped all intense exercise and tried increasing her intake to regain her period. As a dietitian herself, she thought this would be rather simple, but after 10 months of trying period recovery on her own, she joined Lindsey's program and restored her period in just 5 weeks! She is confident that the accountability from the FFF was the key to her period recovery plan, and is so grateful for the lessons that she's learned along the way.

In this Episode:

  • When doctors assume period loss is normal for athletes
  • How to recognize when your recovery plan isn’t working
  • Overcoming mental barriers as a dietitian on seeking support
  • Understanding how much food you need to recover
