Hello and welcome to The Binge Eating Dietitian Podcast!   Today I have a special podcast episode for you.  I recently had the opportunity to speak with Alicia Castaneda, co-founder of Ritual Coaching Collective, at the Food Body Self Summit.   Throughout the interview with Alicia, I answered questions about hypothalamic amenorrhea, also known as HA, or the condition of losing your period due to undereating, overexercise and stress. Alicia and I discuss; Who can be affected by HA? Is HA related to how many calories/macros they eat? Does over-exercising play a role in HA? Dieting, nutrition, and exercise for health vs. being too restrictive? The negative health effects of not having a period. What signs should women who are on some sort of hormonal birth control look for? Ideal treatment and baby steps to take to get your period back. Addressing my client’s fear of weight gain in recovery. How I support my clients towards shifting their eating behaviors.
