The Period Recovery Podcast

When Being TOO Healthy Becomes Unhealthy & Causes Period Loss


Listen Later

Erin is a medical student in her 20s who lost her period after going on a restrictive diet due to digestive issues and exercise. Thinking she was her healthiest self, her Mom & Grandma thought differently. She shares how she flipped the script from rigid routines to relishing life's little joys. It's a real story about finding balance in health,  with lessons and inspiration for your own period recovery journey. 

In this episode:

  • How Erin navigated gluten-free diets and a misdiagnosis before finding Cynthia’s program.
  • The importance of mindset work, support, and allowing oneself to find joy in other activities beyond exercise
  • Erin and Cynthia discuss the importance of focusing on what can be gained rather than what might be lost, 
  •  Erin reflects on the benefits of initially following a structured eating plan for period recovery and how it has allowed her to honor her hunger cues without anxiety now.
