We're slowing down the podcast for the rest of the month, so just some shorter episodes to get you through the holiday season!

Question 1:

Ines gives us some background history and then asks "My question is… I know I should work on my mindset and love my body at every size, BUT is it possible to just sit at this weight and wait for my period to come back? Or do I HAVE to gain more weight?"

Question 2:

Melissa has a normal hormone panel BUT with progesterone reading low at 0.5 - so she asks "I wondered if you ever recommend for someone to take progesterone either topically or orally in order to get a bleed, even if it is just a withdrawal bleed. How important is it for my body to shed the uterine lining? "

Q&A's about HA recovery always light me up! Let's dive in:

1.Trying to conceive but having weird periods and low temps

2.Is this PCOS?

3.can i bodyweight training 3 times a week and eat a lot (like bulking ) and get my period back?

4.For recovery, should we be swapping out the leanest meats with fattier ones? All the fitness and diet girlies and guys really beat it into your head that the leaner, the better, but is the opposite true for HA?

Melanie had a long history with controlling her food and her body - through running, being on a vegan diet, high carb low fat – you name it she probably tried it. She talks about some difficulties in early childhood through to university and how she got to the other side. Now she has consistently beautiful cycles month over month (I am very impressed).

We're slowing down the podcast for the rest of the month, so just some shorter episodes to get you through the holiday season!

Today's question is "I recovered from HA by mostly just gaining weight and I’ve had my period two times. Now I’m waiting for the third and it’s late, hoping it will not miss out completely. The thing is I’ve never stopped training during recovery, a little sure easier on the high intensity, still a lot of running, weightlifting, walking etc. just very active all together. And I also believe it’s possible to get better with exercise. But would you still recommend to totally stop that? It seems really wrong because I did see and feel a change in my everyday health kinda? Once I got less fit it negatively impacted a lot of areas of my life, so I’m really not ready to give that up. Do you have any tips on that?"
