This week on the podcast Lucy McConnell and I are talking about the biggest mistakes and road blocks people face in hypothalamic amenorrhea recovery. In this episode we discuss: The impact of standing and walking vs. structured exercise on your energy expenditure Throwing the towel in too early (and how long HA recovery can actually take) The problem with getting stuck on being a certain weight or BMI and not letting yourself go above this Being super healthy in recovery and the implications on that for achieving total food freedom Only doing "just enough" when it comes to lifestyle changes High volume foods and the problems they can cause on your GI tract and recovery Exercise as your only stress management tool Leaving body checking and avoidance behaviours unchecked Numbing out instead of working through emotions . ❤️ Join my newsletter list for weekly motivation and inspiration and you'll also receive a FREE copy of my eBook "31 Ways to Boost Your Body Image" ❤️ Ready to get your period back? Join the next round of Healing Hypothalamic Amenorrhea!
