    Body Image on Bad Days

    Some days you wake up and every bit of body-image work you’ve done feels like it disappeared. In this episode, we talk about why bad body image days happen (spoiler: they’re rarely about your body), why you don’t have to love your body to take care of it, and a practical toolkit for getting through the hard days without turning back to diet culture. In this episode: Why your body didn’t change overnight, but your lens didCommon triggers for bad body days, including stress, sleep, social media, and hormone shifts across your cycleHow visible PMOS symptoms can make hard days feel louder, and why they aren’t flawsBody positivity vs. body neutrality vs. body respectA 6-tool toolkit for bad body image daysBehaviors that make hard days worse, and when it’s time to get more supportKey takeaways: Body thoughts are often a stand-in for other feelings. Ask yourself, “What else is going on today?”Respect is the foundation. Love is a bonus.Don’t make food decisions from a bad-body-day headspace. Eat your normal meals.Choose affirmations you actually believe, like “My body is allowed to change.”If bad days are becoming most days, an eating-disorder-informed therapist or dietitian can help, and there’s zero shame in reaching out.

    Fiber: The Most Underrated Tool for Every PMOS Root Cause

    Most PMOS advice is a list of things to cut. In this episode, we’re talking about something to add. Fiber is one of the few nutrients that supports nearly every driver of PMOS at once: blood sugar, gut health, androgens, and inflammation. And it does all of that without a single food rule. In this episode: Why fiber gets overlooked in PMOS care, and why “fibermaxxing” misses the pointHow fiber supports blood sugar balance and insulin sensitivity, and why that matters for androgensThe gut–hormone connection: how fiber feeds your gut bacteria and why variety mattersFiber’s role in helping your body clear used-up hormonesHow fiber helps calm chronic low-grade inflammationWhy fiber makes hunger and fullness cues easier to read (not quieter)Gentle, no-rules ways to add more fiber, and why going slow matters Want a root-cause plan built for your body? Fiber is one piece of the picture. Inside PMOS Thrive Academy, we look at your specific drivers and build a hormone-supportive plan that fits your real life, with no restriction required.

    Part 2: PMOS or HA? The Overlap Doctors Keep Missing with Kenna

    In Part 1, Kenna shared how she lost her period doing everything she'd been told was healthy. In Part 2, Brooklyn and Kenna get into why it happened, and what actually moves the needle in restoring a lost period. They cover why "eat less, move more" is such a damaging prescription for women with PMOS, how PMOS and hypothalamic amenorrhea can look nearly identical on paper (and the one distinction that often separates them), and the quiet signs that healthy habits have tipped into underfueling, including the ones that don't feel like restriction at all. They then walksthrough what nourishing actually looks like: why blood sugar balance and eating enough aren't competing goals, why cutting carbs while undereating backfires, and what recovery really feels like emotionally and physically, including the part nobody warns you about.

    Part 1: How a Dietetic Intern Lost Her Period Trying to Get "Healthy" with Kenna

    Brooklyn is joined by Kenna, her dietetic intern and new business owner, for a story a lot of listeners are going to resonate with. Kenna was diagnosed with PMOS at 16 and spent years doing everything she'd been told would make her healthier: fasted 5am workouts, carbs cut down to fruit and beans, studying nutrition searching for "perfection". Then her period disappeared completely. What followed was a PCP who wrote it off, an ultrasound that confirmed the label without a single follow-up question, and months of prescriptions instead of answers. In Part 1, Brooklyn and Kenna talk about what it's like to be dismissed, why hypothalamic amenorrhea can happen in any body, and what the brain is actually signaling when a cycle goes quiet. Make sure to download Kenna's free guide, 5 Signs Your PMOS Might Actually Be HA here!
