In today’s episode of the Period Recovery Podcast, I sit down with Molly Kate (or Molly Seifert)  about gaining weight during period recovery.  We all have experienced anxiety about how others will view us when we gain weight. 

Molly & I give you practical tips to overcome this fear & so much more. Molly talks about the challenges of buying new clothes and the permission we need to give ourselves to gain weight & start living again.

Molly’s wellness journey started about a decade ago when she realized whatever was happening with her digestion was (shockingly) not normal. With some support from her boss at the time, She experimented with going gluten-free and felt infinitely better.  I continued to experiment with what was going on in my belly and how she felt. She has dealt with some bumps in the road: digestive issues, fatigue, eczema, psoriasis, weight fluctuations, sugar cravings, body image issues, and disordered eating.  Overcoming these obstacles has empowered Molly to help others find their sense of self and empowerment.
