Missing Your Period? Nervous System Regulation, Breathwork Support Hypothalamic Amenorrhea Recovery


Listen Later

If you’ve lost your period, are struggling with hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), or feel like you’re doing everything right but still not seeing results, this episode will open your eyes to a missing piece most women overlook.

In this conversation, Cynthia Donovan, Registered Dietitian and period recovery expert, sits down with breathwork and nervous system coach Sally Davidson to explore how chronic stress, anxiety, and an overactive nervous system can directly impact your hormones, fertility, and ability to get your period back.


Inside this episode, we cover:

  • What hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) actually is and why your period goes missing
  • How stress and nervous system dysregulation shut down ovulation
  • Why food alone isn’t enough to get your period back
  • The connection between anxiety, overtraining, and hormone imbalance
  • How breathwork supports nervous system regulation and healing
  • Simple ways to start slowing down—even if you feel stuck in go-go-go mode

If you’re currently dealing with:

  • Missing periods
  • Hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA)
  • Fertility struggles
  • Hormone imbalance
  • Overtraining and under-fueling

This episode will help you understand what your body has been trying to tell you all along and give you practical tools to start shifting it.
