In this packed listener Q&A episode, Lindsey dives into some of the most frequently asked (and misunderstood) questions in the HA recovery and fertility space. Whether your period is back but ovulation is still MIA, or you're unsure if you're doing “enough” to support your fertility—this episode breaks it all down with compassion, science, and practical steps you can take today.
Questions Answered in This Episode:
"How long after cervical mucus should I expect a period?"
"Why is it so hard to eat carbs consistently throughout the day—and why does it matter?"
"My period is back, but I’m not ovulating. Is it still an under-eating issue?"
"Is HA recovery about total calories or specific macros—especially carbs?"
Key Takeaways:
Cervical mucus is a positive sign but not a guaranteed countdown to ovulation
Nutrient timing matters as much as total intake—especially for LH and FSH signaling
Eating all your calories at night may keep your body in survival mode
Mindset blocks like “earning your food” or fearing fullness can silently sabotage your progress
Carbohydrates are critical—not optional—for hormone production and ovulation
Recovery isn’t just about food—it’s also about stress, sleep, movement, and mindset
Resources Mentioned:
