In this episode, Dani sits down with former client Haley, a nurse practitioner and marathon runner, to share her journey through hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) recovery.
Haley opens up about her struggles with food rules, exercise, control, and body image, and why eating more wasn't quite enough to restore ovulation. She shares the changes that finally helped her move forward, including stepping away from running, accepting a changing body, and getting the support she needed to keep going when recovery felt uncomfortable.
Just weeks after finishing her marathon, Haley ovulated and became pregnant on her first ovulation!
If you've been doing all the things but still feel stuck in recovery, Haley's story is a reminder that sometimes it's not about trying harder. It's about figuring out what's still standing in your way.

In this episode we answer listener questions that range from:
- I used to menstruate at X weight, why not now?
- Cycling going backward when REDUCING coffee, is this possible?!
- How does BC affect lab work & more
- and we address a listener comment from a past episode, explaining that honestly, having HA probably isn’t very feminist either.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll do what it takes to get my period back…I just really don’t want to gain THAT much weight,” you’re going to relate to Ali.
Ali spent years in and out of recovery, sometimes bleeding, sometimes not, but never really letting go of the food control or trusting her body. And when she finally decided she wanted to become a mom, she had to face the thing she’d been afraid of since childhood...allowing her body to change without knowing exactly where it would land.
We talk about her years of “quasi-recovery,” trying to find a way to recover while staying thin, the very real fear of weight gain, and what changed when she finally said, essentially, screw it, I’m doing this.
Once Ali went all-in, she got her first period in about 50 days, ovulated, and eventually got pregnant on her third ovulation.
If you’re currently trying to figure out how to recover without having to fully surrender to recovery…this episode is for you.
