Ep 94: From Olympic Trials to Missing Periods: Taylor’s Fertility Wake-Up Call


Listen Later

Lindsey sits down with Taylor, a former elite marathoner who qualified for the Olympic Trials twice—but spent 15 years without a period.

After years of overtraining, under-fueling, and convincing herself she could “fix it” on her own, Taylor finally surrendered control, restored her cycle, and went from no period to pregnancy within months.

This is a raw, faith-filled conversation about what it really takes to let go of perfectionism, heal your relationship with exercise, and rebuild trust with your body.


In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • Why partial recovery never works when control is still in the driver’s seat

  • The mindset shift that helped Taylor surrender her addiction to running

  • How faith and community helped her rebuild a healthy relationship with food

  • What recovery looked like week by week—and how she got her period back after 15 years

  • Understanding when fertility treatment is okay after recovery 

  • The unexpected lessons she’s learned now navigating pregnancy after HA
