372. You Have to Eat to Be Feminine: The Truth About HA Recovery w/Tamara Podanova

In this episode, we sit down with Tamara, an HA Society HHAP graduate and practitioner, to unpack her 11-year journey with hypothalamic amenorrhea, despite having a medical background and helping others recover. We talk about the hidden patterns that keep high-achieving women stuck, how control can simply shift forms (from food to work), and why recovery ultimately comes down to doing the basics consistently, eating more, resting more, and telling yourself the truth. If you feel like you “know what to do” but aren’t fully doing it, this episode will hit.

371. How Katie Recovered from Hypothalamic Amenorrhea and Became an HA Recovery Coach

In this episode, Ashley sits down with recent HHAP graduate Katie Weber to talk about her journey from eating disorder recovery, to HA to getting her period back and helping other women do the same. Katie shares how years of food rules, control, over-exercise, and “wellness” beliefs slowly led her into HA, and why true recovery required much more than just knowing the science. Together, Ashley and Katie talk about the deeper emotional work of HA recovery, including identity loss, surrender, external validation, and the uncomfortable unraveling that happens when control is no longer an option. They also discuss: 1. How Katie’s eating disorder recovery still left her with lingering food rules 2. The wellness and “crunchy health” messaging that contributed to her HA 3. Why many women with HA look healthy on the outside but are deeply under-fueled 4. The difference between eating enough to survive vs eating enough to ovulate 5. Why HA recovery is simple, but not easy 6. The role of coaching, accountability, and body feedback in recovery 7. How Katie used her faith and personal recovery journey to shape her coaching practice 8. What it’s been like graduating from HHAP and beginning to coach women through HA recovery If you’ve ever felt stuck in quasi-recovery, trapped in control, or like you “know what to do” but still can’t fully let go, this conversation will hit home.
