Healing hypothalamic amenorrhea requires letting go—both mentally and physically. In this episode of Wake Up, I'm joined by registered dietitian Lindsay Lusson, who specializes in disordered eating and fertility. We dive into why a regular menstrual cycle matters for long-term health and explore practical strategies for period recovery that don’t involve obsessing over calories.

Lindsay opens up about her personal experience with hypothalamic amenorrhea brought on by over-exercising and under-eating, and shares how she supported her body in healing naturally. Together, we discuss how to ease mental calorie counting, face the fear of weight gain, and navigate the impact of social media on body image.

In this episode, I explore the subconscious habit of body checking and what it reveals about our self-perception. I encourage you to reflect on two important questions: what are you hoping to see when you check your reflection, and what feelings are you trying to avoid? This isn't just about vanity; it's about understanding the deeper emotions tied to our body image.

If you’ve ever worried that people will think you’ve “let yourself go” after gaining weight, you’re not alone. The fear of judgment—especially for perfectionists—can feel paralyzing. But what if the real question isn’t about letting yourself go, but about letting yourself live? In this episode, we’ll unpack the deeper fear behind judgment, why avoiding judgment can actually make it feel worse, and how learning to cope with judgment (instead of avoiding it) is the key to true confidence. Plus, I’ll share a powerful shift in perspective that helped me—and so many others—stop living in fear of what people might say.
