The Hypothalamic Amenorrhea Podcast
Learn more about the next Rest Retreat https://thehasociety.com/retreat [https://thehasociety.com/retreat] In today’s episode, we’re answering two powerful (and very common) questions we see during hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) recovery: 1. Can you work out 4x per week during recovery? One listener shares that she’s gained weight, regained two periods, and is feeling more stable—but recently increased her training from 3 to 4 days per week (upper/lower split with longer sessions). We break down: 1. Whether 4 workouts per week is appropriate at this stage 2. The difference between “feeling fine” vs. true recovery safety 3. How intensity, volume, and recovery all matter more than just frequency 4. Signs your body might still be under stress (even if cycles have started returning) 5. How to approach exercise without risking setbacks 2. Why does anxiety increase during recovery? Another listener opens up about feeling more anxious now than before recovery—despite eating 3000+ calories and not exercising. We dive into: 1. Why recovery can actually heighten anxiety (and why this is normal) 2. The mental shift from control → uncertainty 3. Obsessive tracking of “micro wins” (BBT, ovulation signs, etc.) 4. How healing your body can temporarily dysregulate your mind 5. Practical ways to reduce anxiety and feel more grounded during this phase Join The HA Society http://thehasociety.com/join [http://thehasociety.com/join] Work 1:1 with us to get your period back http://thehasociety.com/coaching [http://thehasociety.com/coaching] Follow us on IG http://instagram.com/thehasociety [http://instagram.com/thehasociety] http://instagram.com/danisheriff [http://instagram.com/danisheriff] https://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_ [https://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_] https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarcia [https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarcia] The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
