In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by functional dietitian and thyroid expert Nicole Fennell, RD/N, to unpack the hidden ways chronic stress, undereating, and over-exercising can wreck your metabolism, suppress your thyroid, and shut down your cycle.

This week on the podcast, I sat down with gut health dietitian Megan from Grounded Nourishment to unpack this wildly overlooked connection between your nervous system, digestion, and hormones.

Because if you’re on the path to period recovery or trying to get pregnant naturally—healing your gut and regulating your stress response isn’t optional. It’s essential.

Here’s what we got into:

🧠 Why women with hypothalamic amenorrhea often deal with chronic constipation, bloating, and food sensitivities 💥 How nervous system dysregulation (aka always being “on”) shuts down digestion and hormone production 🫀 The exact reason stress, undereating, and overexercising lead to poor gut motility and missing periods 🌬 Breathwork, bitters, and simple vagus nerve practices to get your gut—and your cycle—back online 💫 The trauma-gut-fertility link no one talks about enough

Megan Gerber, RD, LD, IFNCP, CGN is a Functional Medicine Dietitian, Breathwork Teacher, and the founder of Grounded Nourishment. She's also the co-founder of JÜJ Digestive Bitters. Meg specializes in helping women heal from chronic digestive issues by addressing the root cause — not just through nutrition, functional testing, and supplements, but by naming what often gets overlooked: stress. In her practice, stress isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the elephant in the room that can wreak havoc on gut health and stall healing. While the wellness world often says “we are what we eat,” Meg takes it a step deeper: “We are what we digest and absorb.” This truth anchors her approach — one that integrates nervous system regulation as a non-negotiable part of gut healing. Whether it’s through mindful eating, parasympathetic breathwork, or EFT tapping, Meg helps her clients reconnect with their bodies, calm their systems, and finally experience relief.   Learn more from Meg: www.groundednourish.com www.livewithjuj.com breath work for gut health @groundednourish @jujbitters

If you're trying to conceive but your period is missing, I want you to know: you're not broken, and you're not alone. Many women experience hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), where the body suppresses reproductive functions due to stress, under-eating, or over-exercising. But the good news is—with the right nourishment, recovery is possible.

So today, I’m walking you through exactly how I’d eat if I were trying to get pregnant with no period. Listen to learn more!

We're diving into a topic that's often overlooked but crucial for fertility: low estrogen. Estrogen isn't just about mood swings or hot flashes; it's a key player in your reproductive health. Usually, we focus on what to do if it’s elevated—“estrogen dominance”. But what do you do if your estrogen is low, and how do you know if it’s low?

In today's episode, we'll explore three signs, without lab testing, that might indicate your estrogen levels are lower than optimal—and what you can do about it.

You lost your period back in high school or college because of an eating disorder, disordered eating, or over-exercising. You got put on birth control to “regulate” things. And now, years later, you’re off the pill, trying to conceive, and your period is still MIA. And nobody told you this could happen. No one warned you that even if you’re “fine” now… your body might not be.

So let’s break it down. Today we’re talking about what your past with restriction, dieting, or an eating disorder has to do with your fertility right now — and what to actually do about it.

Minerals are a foundation to fertility. We want before pregnancy to be a time of mineral replenishment. You want to be in the positive, because nothing demands more nutrition than creating human life and your body’s needs in the process to making that beautiful baby. Nothing will deplete you more than pregnancy and postpartum. So we don’t want to start off in a deficit.

This is why with every client we work with, after they get their first recovery period, we order an HTMA test to assess their mineral status and develop a customized gameplan based on their personal results so they can start off pregnancy in a state of nutrient replenishment.
