Summary

Have you lost your period with keto, a recent weight change or high stress? Want to know how to get your cycle back and why it is so important to do so? Need strategy for rebounding your hormones and confused on whether you should still be doing keto? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki talk about the many causes of amenorrhea and hone in specifically on hypothalamic amenorrhea. Learn how over-restriction, over-exercise and over-rumination might be driving imbalance in your body and what to do to recover your sixth vital sign--your period! In this episode, Ali and Becki break down the reasons your period might be MIA from weight loss to medication use to post birth control recalibration. Amenorrhea is thought to affect 3-4% of the population of women of reproductive age and hypothalamic amenorrhea is on the rise as a leading cause for cycle loss. Learn how hormone expression can be impacted by stress, how high quality nutrient supplementation can help nourish your ovaries and why you might need to ease up on the exercise and fasting if your cycle has gone missing.
