049 // Opening Up About Cycle Recovery + Regaining our Periods w. Allie Labazzo - a podcast by Meredith Wadsworth
from 2020-05-28T18:00:06
For the longest time, I thought I was totally alone in my struggle with missing periods. It wasn't until I first opened up about my hormonal imbalance and hypothalamic amenorrhea on episode 16 that so many others started sharing their experiences with me, looking for a path to regaining their cycle.
As it turns out, this issue is far too common, especially among women who are involved in the world of health and fitness. Why is it that the journey to greater health is leaving many of us without our fifth vital sign?
This episode is as real, raw and honest as it gets. I sit down with Allie Labazzo, a personal trainer who also struggled with HA, to talk about our experiences with HA, the recovery process as mapped out by Dr. Nicola Rinaldi in her book No Period Now What, and why it's about so much more than getting your period back-- it's about getting your life back.
This experience has totally shifted the way I look at health, my work, my identity, and what it means to be truly alive. Whether you're struggling with missing periods or not, this episode is worth a listen.
