The Hypothalamic Amenorrhea Podcast

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.
