In today's episode, we sit down with Holly, a past client, a certified acupuncturist who shares her remarkable journey from missing periods + eating disorders to regular healthy cycles !

• Holly opens up about her experience with birth control, having been on and off it for over a decade.
• Seeking alternatives, she delved into Chinese medicine, hoping to restore her period without facing potential weight gain, a common concern with Hormonal Amenorrhea (HA).

Navigating Challenges:

• Despite her efforts, Holly found herself in and out of eating disorder treatment centers, where she would regain her period only to lose it again.
• Frustrated but determined, she discovered the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM), an approach to understanding and tracking fertility cycles.
• Holly emphasizes how FAM became a pivotal tool in her journey, allowing her to stay attuned to her body's needs in terms of exercise, nutrition, and rest.
• As an acupuncturist, she acknowledges the supportive role of Chinese Medicine in recovery but underscores that it doesn't directly address Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA).

Living Fully Recovered:

• Now fully recovered, Holly shares the profound impact it has had on her life, from flourishing in her acupuncture practice to embracing motherhood and reclaiming a sense of vitality.
• She reflects on how being in tune with her body through FAM has been instrumental in her overall well-being.
