Description

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.

365. Letting Go of the ‘Healthy Girl’ Identity to Get Your Cycle Back: Recovery Story w/Romi

Join the Restore Program: https://thehasociety.com/restore-live [https://www.thehasociety.com/restore-live] Romi did everything “right.” She worked out. She ate clean. She was disciplined, knowledgeable, and praised for it. And still...her period disappeared. In this episode, Romi shares what it actually looked like to unravel years of restriction disguised as health, control disguised as discipline, and an identity built around being the “fit, healthy girl.” Her journey wasn’t fast. It wasn’t linear. And it didn’t fit neatly into a 10-week recovery "timeline", but that’s exactly why her story matters. We talk about low energy availability that hides behind salads and productivity, binge eating that was really just hunger, the fear of eating more and resting more, and the deep resistance that comes up when healing asks you to let go of who you’ve been praised for being. Romi opens up about body changes, grief around muscle loss, developing body image for the first time, and the quiet but powerful moment when her body finally felt safe enough to ovulate again. This episode is for the woman who feels stuck even though she’s “trying.” For the one whose labs aren’t moving, whose body won’t respond on command, and who secretly wonders if she’s broken. Romi’s story is a reminder that recovery is not just about food and exercise, it’s about trust, identity, and learning how to stop micromanaging your body long enough to let it heal. If you’ve ever thought, “Why is this taking so long?” or “Why can’t I just fix this?”- this one is for you.
