Period Recovery and Fertility Podcast

Ep 45: How this runner recovered her period in just 8 weeks


Listen Later

Andrea Hunter is originally from Colombia but has been in the US since 2010. In 2014, she met the two loves of her life: her husband, Zach, and running. As a goal-oriented person, Andrea set a goal to run the 6 major marathons in Boston, Chicago, NY, London, Berlin, and Tokyo. She pushed herself to the limit, overstressing her body through training, keeping her food intake very meticulous and just enough to fuel her runs. It wasn’t until she and Zach decided they wanted to start a family that Andrea realized she wasn’t getting a period and that she would have to make major changes to recover it and be healthy. Andrea shares that through all of her accomplishments, recovering her period is one she’s most proud of!
