Losing your menstrual cycle is a topic that's rarely addressed openly, yet it's a reality many women face, including us. Steph and I share our personal journeys of losing our periods due to intense dieting and physical competition, and how we managed to regain them. We'll guide you through the significant effects of rapid weight loss, insufficient fat intake, and the crucial role of a balanced diet in maintaining your hormonal balance. With practical tips on managing stress and the importance of supplements like magnesium and B vitamins, this episode aims to offer support and reassurance to those navigating similar challenges.
We're not shying away from the tough conversations about women's health, especially how hormonal contraceptives like the pill can affect our bodies. From altering hormonal balance to depleting essential nutrients, these medications come with their own set of challenges. We stress the importance of being your own health investigator and exploring multiple health options, whether it's coming off the pill or dealing with broader health issues. Discover why finding an empathetic healthcare professional is key and how open dialogue and better education can empower you to take control of your well-being. Join us in breaking the taboos and choosing compassionate care that genuinely prioritizes your health.
