Hypothalamic Amenorrhea

Why Your Period Isn’t Coming Back Despite Working Out Less and Eating More

I get this a lot: Kersten, I've been eating more and working out less, but I'm still not getting my period!

I get emails like this almost every week, so let's talk about it.

You may think that the recovery plan as outlined in No Period, Now What (stop exercise, eat at least 2500 calories a day being the two most important things) doesn't work for you, that you didn't work out too much after all, your calories weren't actually too low and that there must be another reason for why your period is gone.

I wanted to believe it all the time as well, so I know how you feel. I believed that I'm different, there's another reason and better solution! I even asked my friends and family members, as if they knew the right answer.

Ok, long story short: I know where you're coming from and how you feel. But before you throw in the towel and say, I'm done, this thing doesn't work, take a minute to watch today's video!
