    372. You Have to Eat to Be Feminine: The Truth About HA Recovery w/Tamara Podanova

    In this episode, we sit down with Tamara, an HA Society HHAP graduate and practitioner, to unpack her 11-year journey with hypothalamic amenorrhea, despite having a medical background and helping others recover. We talk about the hidden patterns that keep high-achieving women stuck, how control can simply shift forms (from food to work), and why recovery ultimately comes down to doing the basics consistently, eating more, resting more, and telling yourself the truth. If you feel like you “know what to do” but aren’t fully doing it, this episode will hit.

    371. How Katie Recovered from Hypothalamic Amenorrhea and Became an HA Recovery Coach

    In this episode, Ashley sits down with recent HHAP graduate Katie Weber to talk about her journey from eating disorder recovery, to HA to getting her period back and helping other women do the same. Katie shares how years of food rules, control, over-exercise, and “wellness” beliefs slowly led her into HA, and why true recovery required much more than just knowing the science. Together, Ashley and Katie talk about the deeper emotional work of HA recovery, including identity loss, surrender, external validation, and the uncomfortable unraveling that happens when control is no longer an option. They also discuss: How Katie’s eating disorder recovery still left her with lingering food rulesThe wellness and “crunchy health” messaging that contributed to her HAWhy many women with HA look healthy on the outside but are deeply under-fueledThe difference between eating enough to survive vs eating enough to ovulateWhy HA recovery is simple, but not easyThe role of coaching, accountability, and body feedback in recoveryHow Katie used her faith and personal recovery journey to shape her coaching practiceWhat it’s been like graduating from HHAP and beginning to coach women through HA recovery If you’ve ever felt stuck in quasi-recovery, trapped in control, or like you “know what to do” but still can’t fully let go, this conversation will hit home.

    368. From 4 Years Without a Period to Pregnancy in 93 Days | Recovery Story w/ Caroline

    After years of searching for answers, seeing multiple specialists, undergoing extensive testing, and being told she was "healthy," Caroline still didn't have a period. Like many women with Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA), she spent years believing she was doing everything right. She exercised regularly, ate what she thought was a healthy diet, maintained a lean body, and followed many of the wellness trends praised by society. But underneath it all were years of intermittent fasting, under-fueling, chronic stress, and high physical output. In this episode, Caroline shares how she went from: ✔️ No period for over 4 years ✔️ Multiple doctor visits, lab tests, MRIs, and specialist referrals ✔️ Being told everything looked "normal" ✔️ Training for a triathlon while trying to conceive ✔️ Struggling with food rules and exercise habits To: ✔️ Recovering ovulation in just 93 days ✔️ Restoring her menstrual cycle naturally ✔️ Conceiving on her second ovulation ✔️ Being 21 weeks pregnant at the time of recording We also discuss the emotional side of HA recovery, navigating weight gain, letting go of exercise, learning to ask for help, and why investing in support can dramatically change your recovery journey. If you've been told your labs are normal, you've been trying to recover on your own, or you're wondering if Hypothalamic Amenorrhea could be the missing piece, this episode is for you.
