Absence of a menstrual period in a woman of reproductive age
POPULARITY
If you're trying to conceive but your period is missing, I want you to know: you're not broken, and you're not alone. Many women experience hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), where the body suppresses reproductive functions due to stress, under-eating, or over-exercising. But the good news is—with the right nourishment, recovery is possible. So today, I'm walking you through exactly how I'd eat if I were trying to get pregnant with no period. Listen to learn more! Today's episode is brought to you by our exclusive program, Premier Period Recovery for Fertility. Reach out to chat 1-1 with me to see if it's exactly what you need to get your period back and get pregnant in 2025, by applying here.

"I had lost my period for a year. I was definitely not eating nearly enough, eating healthy to an extreme point...it was a very unhealthy relationship with my body," shares Natalie Tyner, who was a North Carolina State Champion in high school and went on to compete collegiately for University of NortH Carolina (UNC). Natalie is now focusing her work on supporting high school athletes who are preparing to compete at a higher level, navigating mental health, performance nutrition, and balancing their training with adequate rest. She's doing this work because she knows how hard it is to compete at the D1 level, and wants future athletes to be more prepared than she was. In this episode we talk about: the knee injury Natalie has been navigating for a few years feeling wholly unprepared for the college athlete experience, and running at a higher level, during her freshman year of college the disordered eating, and hypothalamic amenorrhea she experienced in high school, and how a cookbook can sometimes feel like a rule book the performance anxiety that plagued her running experience for years the culture around food, body image, and periods that she experienced during her collegiate experience and both why and how she came into the work she does now, supporting high school athletes as they prepare for the collegiate athlete life Follow Natalie @NatSportPrep on IG to connect with her.

In this episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition Podcast, host Lindsey Elizabeth Cortes, a registered sports dietitian, interviews Jules Vazquez, a former Division I and professional soccer player who struggled with disordered eating, exercise addiction, and hypothalamic amenorrhea. Jules shares her journey of recognizing the unhealthy extremes she went to in pursuit of athletic success, the severe health complications she faced, and her gradual path to recovery.Through incremental changes like eating more, implementing rest days, reducing high-intensity workouts, and working with a functional medicine practitioner, Jules was able to restore her health, including regaining her menstrual cycle and healing gut issues. The conversation highlights the importance of listening to your body, redefining discipline, and having a strong support system. Jules' story is a powerful reminder of the consequences of extreme behavior and the challenging but rewarding journey towards true health and balance.Jules Vazquez is passionate about helping female athletes avoid the struggles she went through. She recently launched BalancedFemlete (like Female Athlete) an Instagram platform where she shares her journey and empowers women to rebuild their health, redefine their identity without extremes, and find balance.Outside of her advocacy work, Jules is a health sciences professor and works in the health tech space, blending her academic expertise with real-world experience to drive meaningful change in how we approach female athlete health.Episode Highlights:01:31 Meet Jules Vazquez: A Journey of Struggle and Triumph03:22 The Dark Side of Perfectionism in Sports06:39 The Physical and Mental Toll of Disordered Eating07:41 The Path to Recovery: Recognizing the Need for Change17:55 Health Consequences and the Road to Healing27:19 The Decision to Step Away from Soccer34:07 Finding Your Why35:24 First Steps to Recovery36:12 Adjusting Exercise and Diet44:37 Healing the Gut46:25 The Role of Testing and Professional Help53:20 Current State and Future Plans57:26 Advice for Others01:01:29 Conclusion and ResourcesConnect with Jules on Instagram @balancedfemleteFor more information about the show, head to work with Lindsey on improving your nutrition, head to:http://www.lindseycortes.com/

Holly is a certified Fertility Awareness Method Educator and Licensed Acupuncturist. Her passion for periods and fertility stem from a long history of personal cycle issues. At 22, she was told she would likely have a hard time getting pregnant due to a consistently erratic menstrual cycle, and amenorrhea due to severe anorexia. A testament to the body's innate ability to heal, it was during a passionate love affair in her thirties that she conceived her daughter, and had a beautiful, easy home birth. One of the key components to her journey of healing was to uncover what was really going on with her body through charting her cycle. Implementing fertility awareness completely changed her life, and offered her a different relationship with her body. Now, she works with other women, helping them do the same.

This Female Athlete Nutrition podcast episode is with Tokyo 2020 Olympian Elise Cranny. Currently a Nike-sponsored professional runner, Elise found success early on in high school and college, before going on to compete in the Olympics and set multiple American records. These highs have not been without lows, and Elise shares about her struggles with relative energy deficiency in sports (RED-S) that led her down a path of injuries, fatigue, and underperformance. We discuss the steps she took to recover her period, overcome injuries, and restore her mental and physical health through proper fueling and reduced training. Elise is an incredible role model to all athletes, speaking candidly about how embracing body changes, weight gain, and eating more has made her a better, faster, less injured runner. She uses her story to help others avoid the pitfalls of RED-S and underfueling through her social media and the Voice In Sport (VIS) platform. We talk about how the menstrual cycle can be a superpower: Finally, we get an inside look at what fuels this Olympian, and leaves Elise feeling strong and energized. In this episode we talk about: 4:20 Elise's diverse athletic background: early running success 8:00 The impact of becoming an Olympian and American recorded holder 10:20 Mentoring athletes through Voice In Sport (VIS) 13:30 Elise's RED-S struggles 17:00 Overcoming amenorrhea: adding fats and snacks, adjusting training, nutrient timing 21:00 Dealing with body changes and disordered thoughts 23:50 The importance of periods and hormones for performance, recovery from training, avoiding injuries and longevity in sports 29:00 Nutrition after RED-S and period recovery 32:50 Elise's passion for baking with her sisters; the social side of food 35:40 Fueling tips for great training and performance: bone broth, oatmeal, protein smoothies, ice cream! 41:50 End of the podcast questions Check out Voice In Sport (VIS) where both Elise and I support female athletes.

Trigger warning: this episode talks explicitly about disordered eating behaviors, calories, and other numbers that other people might find triggering. Feel free to give this episode a pass, or ask a trusted person to check this episode out before you. This episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast is the first in a 2-part episode series about me! After almost 4 years of weekly podcasts, we have a lot of listeners who probably don't know my story, so here it is! Today, I dive into my beginnings with nutrition as a young gymnast and track athlete, who became obsessed with food as a means to be healthier for my sport and control my body. As we've heard before, this was a slippery slope into RED-S and an eating disorder that led to multiple injuries and illnesses, delayed puberty and amenorrhea. Obsessed with food, counting calories and macros, I studied nutrition in college, and this fuelled my eating disorder. Growing up I was known as “little Lindsey” and I fixated on this identity, attempting to control my body through exercise, purging, and restriction. I share about my struggles accepting weight changes, especially during times of injury and illness. Ultimately, years of underfueling and over-exercising prevented me from reaching my athletic potential as an NCAA Division 1 athlete, and led me to mental and physical burnout.

THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Gut Health Transformation Strategies for a Better Belly, Brain, and Body
Back in January, I did a big poll to better understand the problems that you, my listeners, are currently dealing with. And one of the BIGGEST problems that came up was something I just really haven't talked a lot about yet - hormones.There were four categories of hormonal questions that came up around: periods, pregnancy & postpartum, perimenopause, and PCOS.I find that MOST conversations around these hormones make them sound SUPER complicated, but in reality, they can be explained, and supported, in SUPER simple ways.So I wanted to create my own series showing you exactly how I think of and support my hormones and my clients hormones at each of these stages.Today's topic is all about the period. I'll be answering:What a period isWhy periods become painful (PMS)Why periods disappear (amenorrhea)How to have painless periods and bring your period back - for goodToday is PART ONE in our Healthy Hormones Series focusing on Periods. Stay tuned for Part 2, 3, and 4: Pregnancy & Postpartum, Perimenopause, and PCOS.Almost every woman will go through all these stages of hormones at some point in their life, or we know someone right now going through them.

This is a super special episode because the dietitian who's practice I WORKED WITH back in 2018 to heal MY binge eating, missing period and f*cked up relationship with food is interviewing ME on her podcast. Full circle moment. I share my story and what I learned from years of body image issues, losing weight and getting fit, living the “bodybuilder lifestyle” and spending 4 years feeling absolutely consumed and out of control with food. If you can relate to my story - this episode is going to educate and inspire you to move forward to a HEALTHY and FREE relationship with food, exercise and your body. We discuss: “How come all these other fit women can cut and bulk without binge eating or losing their periods?? What's wrong with me??” Confusion when you lose your period but you're not underweight and you think you eat enough and aren't overexercising Reverse dieting and if it's a valuable process to go through to help your binge eating and get your period back Weed use
If you lost your period after losing weight, exercising more, or eating “cleaner” and you want to get your period back so you can be TRULY healthy…this one is gonna interest you. It's always super exciting when my clients start seeing these signs because it's an affirmation that they're doing the RIGHT thing for their body's by giving themselves more food, more rest and more permission to eat the foods they love and crave.

Sammi had primary amenorrhea, meaning she had never had a period in her life. Nope, not even from a contraceptive pill... she'd never seen blood in her underwear until 27 years old!When this happens to someone, it's hard for them to believe that it's even possible at all to have a period. I think that's what makes this story so special.I cannot tell you how long I've been waiting for this episode with Sammi.
