Ep 55: Overcoming denial about your habits and finally making changes to support fertility
Description
Beth is a registered nurse and nursing professor with a background in obstetrical nursing from just outside St. Louis, Missouri. In an effort to "get in the best shape possible" before she and her husband tried to conceive, she unintentionally set herself down a path of severe disordered eating, over exercise, and consequently developed HA. After two years of no period returning after coming off hormonal birth control, seeking fertility assistance with a REI, and attempting recovery on her own, she made the decision to join Lindsey's program to get the additional support, guidance, and encouragement needed to get her period back and get pregnant naturally!
Show notes:
Taking your fitness journey too far and losing your period
Maybe tiny tweaks and not getting results
Being tapped out on fertility treatment and getting serious about recovery
Thinking about period recovery as a prescriptive diet
When you need more than spousal support to recover
Getting pregnant in under 3 months after over a year of infertility
Take pride in healing from disordered eating to be a role model for your kids
