Claudia’s story will hit home if you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right in recovery but your period still isn’t coming back. Like so many of us, Claudia started by “just trying to be healthy”, eating cleaner, working out more, cutting carbs, and following what everyone around her said was good for her.

Early signs of recovery came, but her period didn’t, until she realized one big thing was still standing in the way: control. This episode dives into the mindset shifts that finally allowed her body to trust her again, what it really means to “let go,” and why you truly can’t out-eat control.

Today I wanted to talk about signs and symptoms that are actually pretty normal and expected for early hypothalamic amenorrhea recovery. When you first go in to recovery a bunch of stuff is likely to happen and it's normal to think some of it is a bit weird or concerning... good news it probably isn't.

In this episode, Ashley sits down with Samantha, her Restore Your Fertility client, to talk about how recovery transformed her relationship with herself. From growing up as a dancer to facing pressure to be thin for her wedding and “bounce back” after pregnancy, Samantha spent years chasing perfection and approval. What started as restriction for control turned into health challenges and burnout. But through recovery—and learning to truly let go, she found freedom with food, her body, and what others think. Her story is a powerful reminder that when you stop living for everyone else, life starts to feel a whole lot lighter.

Nina spent 5–6 years stuck in hypothalamic amenorrhea, convinced she was the “healthiest” she’d ever been. What started as clean eating and exercise quickly turned into control, fear, and denial—excusing behaviors she thought made her thrive. Deep down, she was terrified to let go… but eventually, she did.

In this episode, Nina shares how body image struggles, fear of losing control, and years of excuses kept her stuck—and what finally helped her recover.

If you’ve ever felt “too afraid to let go” in recovery, Nina’s story will resonate deeply.

Today Ashley and Dani talk about one of the future avenues of HA coaching, which is the introduction of GLP-1 shots into the market and the use of HRT as both a weight loss and recovery "tool". We also touch on the rise of "early menopause" and how this is actually HA in disguise... keeping recovery coaches in business.

In this episode, Dani sits down with Holly as she opens up about her HA recovery journey. From growing up insecure and that manifesting into the high-achiever, to controlling food and exercise in college, Holly shares how she lost her period and was repeatedly dismissed by doctors because she was a normal BMI and didn’t “look skinny enough.” She talks about the hard reality of letting go of her fit-girl identity, the breakthroughs she found in recovery, and how the HHAP Certification gave her the tools and confidence to turn her healing into her career. Now, as a certified Holistic Hypothalamic Amenorrhea Practitioner, Holly is helping other women walk the same path she once did.

In this episode, Mishi sits down with her Restore Your Fertility client Maren to share a powerful story of resilience and transformation. After years of pushing her body, the loss of a fallopian tube, and living in a deep deficit, Maren was left struggling with debilitating eczema and no period. Desperate to feel better and be present with her family, she faced the fears of weight gain and leaned into the mindset shifts recovery required. Today, Maren is thriving with clear skin, restored ovulation, and a deep connection to her body that allows her to live freely without fear.
