Amenorrhea – The absence of a menstruation for one or more mensural cycles.
Your period is like a womanโs report card about her health. An ideal, healthy period comes every 21-35 days with minimal symptoms.
Not having a period at all? Your body is trying to get your attention.
What could potentially cause your period to be MIA?
๐๐ผ Sex hormones out of range (for example, low estrogen or high testosterone)
๐๐ผ Not eating enough for your activity levels
๐๐ผ Over exercising
๐๐ผ Body fat (too low)
๐๐ผ Nutrition is off (low fat or low carb diets can be harmful for some women)
What to do if you have amenorrhea:
๐๐ผ Work with a qualified healthcare professional to identify the culprit/s and develop a protocol that is specific to what your body needs (read: avoid cookie-cutter plans because every body is SO different)
๐๐ผ Make sure youโre eating enough! Meals consisting of carbs, fats, and proteins – multiple times per day
๐๐ผ Feeling fatigued and burnt out? Cut back on the extreme workouts and focus your energy on stress management with tools like meditation and prioritize sleep with a minimum of 7 hours each night, preferably going to bed and waking up at consistent times each day
๐๐ผ Support gut health with all of the above + fiber, collagen, bone broth, and fermented foods like kefir or sauerkraut
๐๐ผ Eat REAL foods that are high in quality and low in chemical and play around with eliminating gluten, dairy, soy, corn, and processed junk

*If youโre on hormonal birth control, some of this information may not apply to you! If youโve opted to skip your period with HBC, I encourage you to explore why it is so important for most women (I say โmost womenโ because if you have a debilitating illness that requires you to be on HBC then you do you girl and take care of yourself) to have a real period each month!
**When this is normal: during pregnancy, while breast feeding, and when youโre heading into menopause
