"HA is so much more nuanced than just eating more and exercising less"

Holly Dunn On today's episode of The HA Podcast, Holly Dunn takes us deeper into what's actually happening in our body and brain when we have HA.

This is a really refreshing take on the subject, talking brain function, stress, being a high-functioning, success-driven woman in society and how all of the factors come together to create hypothalamic amenorrhea. I really hope you enjoy today's episode!

Let's talk about Thanksgiving...and the holiday season in general! I asked the gals on Instagram how they’re feeling about Thanksgiving coming up while trying to recover – or keep a recovered – period. A number of women were looking forward to the season because having many other people around them also eating liberally can be helpful. A number of other women however – about 50% – had some concerns.

So on this episode, I want to address them!

-Concern #1 Comments about my weight gain

-Concern #2 Comments from people who notice I’m not restricting anymore.

-Concern #3 It’s a stressful time in general and being in control of my workouts and food usually helps me reduce stress. How am I going to cope?!

Let's talk through these so we can go into the festive season confident AF in our missions of ultimate period prowess.

This week we don't really talk about Hypothalamic Amenorrhea, we talk about body image. Rachel Major, the artist behind Rachel Jean Designs is one incredible woman. We met through Instagram when we realized that our art subject matters were so connected. So much so that we actually drew some of the EXACT same things.

On this episode we talk about how it feels to go from trying to fit the 'standard' of a successful adult to become a free-as-a-bird artist that shows up as just you are and what all of the wonderful, magical things that life can provide for you when you do that. We bonded entirely over our experiences of diet culture, perfectionism and becoming digital illustrators. If a creative endeavor is something that you're on, or working up the courage to be on, this episode is for you OR if you're working through freeing yourself of the chains body image, this episode is definitely for you too.

Kaely McDevitt is back! She's a registered dietician and friend of the show! She was amazing and answered a bunch of your listener questions! Such as... how much magnesium is a good amount to take? which macros are most important for recovery? fats VS carbs. Carbs and ovulation? I'm eating enough, where is my period?! Is it really just calories in calories out? Is set point theory real? Can you start to lose weight naturally after reaching your set point? Is it just about eating more and resting more? Is it just a long cycle or is it hypothalamic amenorrhea? Want to ask a question for future guests?

Sam Kellgren and I had one of my FAVORITE HA chats so far. We drop so many truth bombs and have so many mic drop moments that I can't stress enough how much I want you to listen today! We were meant to do a Q&A together but couldn't stop talking so we didn't even get to the questions (don't worry, we're doing a part 2 to get to those questions).

Sam shares her story of being a runner with HA to recovery and how she now works with women to help improve their health and get their periods back. She also shares her views on recovery, giving up running just to prove to herself that she COULD give it up and wanting to overcome the story in her head about what would happen to her body if she gave it up. The best part is when we talk about the freedom and liberation that she got from recovery that she didn't think was possible for her...but has now seen is possible for all of us.

Leanne Matullo is a yoga therapist who had HA about 6 years ago. She was on the pill for close to a decade and when she came off to start a family with her husband...she had a feeling it wasn't going to be that simple. And it wasn't. When western modalities didn't work for Leanne, she started to look inwards. She realized that there was some unaddressed stress deep inside that she needed to look at.

In this episode Leanne talks about how food rules, over-exercising and orthorexia were something that she needed to address like an addiction and not just a symptom that she could treat with a pill. We also talk about meditation and acupuncture and all of these things actually help! Then we talk about the role of yoga therapy, acupuncture, meditation, breath work and Ayurveda in recovering from HA. I hope that you get some clarity on whether or not eastern modalities are for you!

Mollie Birney joins us AGAIN! This time, to do a Q&A on your biggest mental recovery roadblocks. This episode came about because Mollie is holding a 4 week group coaching program that I feel would be an incredible fit for you. Here are the questions she answered on the show!

-How to get my recovery to be my number 1 goal and not my body?

-How do you deal with essentially mourning the loss of who you used to be?

-My wedding is in 7 months - I can’t get out of the dieting mindset until its over - help!?!

Take a listen and if you think that a group coaching program would work, you can DM me for details or go straight to her at @mbclinicalcoaching.

AHHH! This weeks episode of The HA Podcast is 12/10 relatable for SO many people. Ally is a fitness instructor who recovered from HA and was kind enough to share with me every nuance of her story.

We talked about:

-Eating so much peanut butter and dark chocolate that you think you're not really restricting Feeling like "there must be another way to recover..."

-Having a lot of food rules.

-Trying to recover when you're in a job where people stare at your body.

-The physical experience of finally starting to recover.

-And SO. MUCH. MORE.

In the end, she started a hot chocolate club in Paris and therefore, she is clearly living her best life. I can't tell you how heard and understood I felt, and I know so many other women will feel hearing Ally's story. I DESPERATELY want to hear what you thought of this episode! Please screenshot and tag me your review, review it on iTunes or STRAIGHT UP DM ME!
