I have no periods from last 5 years . Excessive hair on chin and moustache like men. What should i do i am 28

Thank you for this video, I really needed to hear this! 💜💜

Hey can you PLEASE answer me I’m really struggling right now. I lost my period in 2020 due to overexercising/underfueling/stress and all the stuff, but got it back just once in december 2021, and the second one never came because I slipped back into my old habits. I gradually got better and at the end of 2023 I was mentally recovered but only in the last few month have gained about 10kg. I’m at a really healthy weight now but no period. I just recently cut down on exercise though. MY QUESTION IS: Would it potentially be harder to get my period back the second time if I already lost it once? Do i have to gain a lot more weight? I am already 5kg heavier than the first time I got my period back. PLEASE HELP!! ❤

Thank you Dani for sharing all of your tips for HA recovery online and making this information so accessible. My period has been missing for 2.5 years due to competitive swimmer and underfueling. After listening to your podcasts and videos, I stopped training and just did yoga and Pilates for the last 2 months. I’m so happy to say I got my first period today!!! I’m on vacation in Hawaii with my family and I’m crying joyful tears

Just wondering, wouldn't classifying foods as having "less crappy" ingredients (the Magic Spoon) assigning good/bad morality to food? I thought (and maybe I'm wrong) that HA recovery meant not seeing any foods as good or bad or off limits, so wouldn't that include all cereal not just the Magic Spoons of the world?

I have a history of starve and binging and high dose birth control that contributed to weight gain. I now have fatty liver and HA. Don’t ovulate. Overweight. You can be very overweight and malnourished

How many days can temp rise be seen after ovulation? Had a big dip in BBT this friday after positive ovulation clearblue test on wednesday, lots of EWCM (now they are more white and not stretchy), much less apetite and nausa. But the BBT is back at like it was the days before the temp dip (using Oura and also tried a usual one the last 2 days and it was 36.7 today (don’t know my baseline) and now it’s Monday. Higher apetite and sleepy (eating and resting more ofc) Happy to get some answers! Obs had my first period last month after 20 (!!) years without (only had once) and a baby through IVF 1,5 years ago. Been working hard the last year to really recover<3

We love the Dani who calls out the BS in love!!!! 🎉❤my heart also broke for that last girl :(

Hi Dani! I have a question also related to travel and timezones. I have moved overseas 3 years ago (a completely different timezone) and wonder if this could be why my periods are still missing. I have history with ED and restriction/over exercising, which I admit I have struggled with even after moving. The thing is though, I have recovered my periods twice - every time I traveled back to my home country and spent some weeks with my family. Before finding your videos I played the "how low can I go" so I understand why my periods were missing but simply don't understand why I got one or two cycles while visiting my family. If it's helpful I became fully committed 3 months ago; stopped exercising, eaten more and gained weight. I'm really wondering if living on a different timezone than where I grew up can throw things off this much or my body doesn't trust me when I'm alone??? Thanks if you reply and your videos are soso helpful ❤

I got my second recovery period today, after I realised I'm not the unicorn that can still do 4x a week strength training and recover lol...I got my first one 48 days ago after a three week training break (and 3.5 years of no periods), and after these two weeks of not training and doing nothing, the second one came. I attribute my recovery fully to the wonderful resources you continue to put out and your tough love, thank you. I'm going to stop structured exercise altogether for the foreseeable future to get my body back to cycling regularly again!

Do fish count? I cannot stand the taste of meat so i only eat fish

I love this but I have such a hard time getting enough protien due to histamine/MCAS. I can only eat muscle meat for my protien and that tends to only be lamb and chicken which I know gives me a terrible amino acid profile. Struggling to get my period back, any tips ?

Hello! I am weight-restored but still struggle with a normal cycle. Sometimes they last 16 days while other times 40 days. I know its normal to have longer-lasting cycles after recovering from HA, but are shorter cycles normal? Is this something that could be more related to PCOS? Thanks so much:)

THANK YOU SO MUCH! No one I have dealt with has been able to speak to this issue as you have!! You hit, honestly, all the key points in the dissertation! I am so, so grateful…as my beloved daughter NEEDS to hear this. She’s been without a period for almost 2 years now. 19 yrs old. She talks about her fears of being infertile, so I know she’s concerned about her health and realizes there’s a problem. Thank you so much, I’m praying she will watch your videos!

I feel so called out rn...lol

Yep, no matter if you’ve been called infertile or whatever, after reading Dobbie Nerkstrol's guide, I ended up pleasantly surprised. Within 60 days anyone can get pregnant, feeling the changes in your body the first few weeks. After go’ogling her I understood it's not a miracle kind of thing like the title suggests, but you can bet you'll boost your chances.

thankyou

Surrender can give me the ability to cultivate healthy, lasting, mutually beneficial relationships, higher self esteem (and therefore higher bone density :) and overall health), regular cycles, and more presence 🥰🏄‍♀. Control sucks the vitality out of my relationships, confidence, and well-being, and limits my ability to participate more fully and recognize moment-to-moment opportunities in every season😖

Dani, this was hilarious, heartwarming and relatable. Thank you for calling me out on my shit and I hope this helps many other woman. You are wonderful, thank you ❤️

Thank uou for sharing your story, i can realte to your story so much. I am working on period recovery with a HA nutritionist. We have made massive changes to my diet and excercise. I am five weeks in and seeing lots of good signs. I just need to stay consistent and even order a menstrual cup in the hopes thag i get my period back soon. Sending love x

Hi Dani, HA society and all subscribers! I am that "Russian friend" who asked you about is it possible to get menses back in natural way (that was a month ago). I'm happy!!! Finally I got my period back! That happened just yesterday at night! I was surprised and very happy! And now I truly believe in that "slowly but surely" is the most appropriate way to heal in this case. Wihtout pills. I just wanted to say THANK YOU to your channel and to all subscribers who left comments that actually inspired me not to give up. And also I wanted to encourage all women who are now struggling with the HA! Be strong and sometimes stubborn, but don;t give up, find your inner peace and harmony with your body. That will sound a bit typical, but you all truly deserve to be healthy and to make permission for yourself to eat whatever and whenever you want!

Thanks!

i used hormone therapy and it worked instantly. i got a period one month after the first pill and had 4 periods. fasting is still a problem.

Hi thank you for all your info. I haven't had my period in 3 years. However im 48 years old and at a high bmi very muscular too. My weight is high and im older so im not sure if this information applies to me. I was a chronic yoyo dieter for 29 years. Im working on increasing metabolic capacity. Up to 2,592 calories. Im working with an awesome coach from Mind pump. They believe in feeling the body. Im looking forward to hear your response to this. Thank you for doing something so giving and wonderful.❤

Thank you so much Dani, you cannot imagine how helpful your videos are!!!

You’re the Best!! Really appreciate you, your HARD work and content. Truly beautiful inside and out… go girl!!

perfect, thanks

Hahahahahaha I feel like I'm in a school class and the teacher is scolding me 😫😂 I liked you, thank you very much!!❤

Hi dani, so i am 15 and i had gotten my first recovery period, but now my cycle is already 45 days long and no period in sight. Maybe i am eating abit less, since i dont have much of an appetite, but i am excercising less too (almost nothing, just short walks) So should i be worried, or is it more normal for my cycles to be longer since i am still young?

Still relevant in PP 2024

i have been regular but since i did IF my period didnt come when i started to over restrict my food intake and i do workouts 4x/week 😢

I'm very glad for finding your video and listening to your experience. I feel I'm trapped in the same cycle of wanting to live a "healthy" life. I had an experience of losing my period several years ago due to ED & dieting culture. I was able to get it back by reducing stress (stop workouts) + eating more. However, I returned to the same point again, Now, didn't have my period for 4 months, all started when my physician told my that I have a low bond density & percentage keep increasing, and recommended to increase my weight specially muscle mass, so I decide to have a coach and start to exercise again + counting macros. I was able to increase my muscle mass little but my fat dropped. I have fear always from fat & being "fat" and putting on weight would make me look bad. I always wanted to be in a same size. I start to workout out 5 days, and then 4, and now 3 as I felt that reducing the days might help to get my period back + I walk everyday on the treadmill for 3mils. I know that what I'm doing is not right for me, but I'm really afraid of stop exercising again. I told myself that doing workout 3 days in the week with walking will get my period back. With missing my period again, I feel my body is really sensitive to high intensity workout. I enjoy moving my body and feeling strong & in the same time I want to get my period back. I just keep thinking about how I harmed my body again unintentionally.

Ah, lovely and uplifting - thanks so much, Dani 🤩 Just wondering (so that I don't relapse here!), if a body is under stress (e.g. me last year, working every hour given to me at a desk-job), is it a cortisol spike that can result in HA or the fact that stress can cause a decrease in appetite and hence, weight loss or the fact that during stressful periods of time, good nutrition might become less of a priority, hence resulting in weight loss? Maybe a combo of all 3? Really appreciate all of your time, help and efforts, Dani :))

Hey Dani - love this, thank you so much 😁 Quick question on the herbs, when you get a minute, please... I used to drink green tea but I stopped since it has caffeine. I then tried Rooibos tea but learnt that it contains properties that mimic oestrogen, so I avoid that too now (not sure if it's necessary but better safe than sorry here) 😆I'm wondering if there are any herbal teas that could actually benefit HA recovery / keep recovered periods coming? (PS. I've had a few recovery bleeds). Thank you so much!!

what about dhea supplements?

This is for all girlies that are wondering if HRT is worth it - I have been thru 10 month long HRT treatment since it was recommended by my gyno and it was an absolute WASTE OF TIME 💁🏼‍♀️ I was bleeding regularly while taking meds but as soon as I stopped I was back at the starting point. Then I found this chanel and started my recovery journey (it was mainly about food and dropping working out daily). I got my first recovery period after 3 months and I couldn’t be more grateful 😊🎉🌸 I was dealing with ED for about 13 years and Dani is the first person that has ever really spoke to me ❤ Trust in your journeys girls, we all deserve healthy bodies and we will recover! ❤️✨

hello I'm 18 years old I didn't get my period for 3 months i ate good diet and still not getting them please help me

Hello, I was wondering if my calorie restriction was only for about 5 months but it was really severe for a little more than 1 month, does this mean my recovery will be a bit faster and my body will adapt quicker?

Thank you so much, love your videos 🙏🏼

so interesting and thought-provoking, Dani - thank you very much for your efforts and words of wisdom :D Just wondering what your thoughts are on (very gentle) sea-swimming? Where I live, the sea is pretty damn cold but I still really enjoy it (once I'm actually in😅). I've had a few recovery bleeds and really don't want to go backwards in recovery (ie. if cold temperatures would put my body under lots of stress). Hugely appreciate everything, Dani - thank you!

Really appreciate the meal ideas as someone who is in recovery with HA and feels so lost with what to eat/ how much is necessary…

I have insomnia and often wake up and can't get back to sleep. Would this still work for me, since it's taking the average?

Thank you this videos are very helpful I been watching your videos since yesterday non stop 🫶🏼 thanks for all the knowledge.

so I ended up getting my period back :) I ate 2500-3000 calories a day. when I was restricting, I ate 800-1200 calories a day. I went from 162-134 in 4 months. I wasn't were I wanted to be, and I still struggle with thoughts everyday. I'm now 145 and I gained all the weight in 2-3 weeks, as well as my period. I'm still overweight however, and I'm not sure what to do. will restricting SLIGHTLY mess up my hormones again? I'm terrified of going 150 and I don't want to lose my period again from accidentally overeating/over exercising. I want to get down to at least 130. what should I do?

Hi, this is a late response to your video,but could you advise whether overall calories are more important than overall carbs to get your period back?

Hello, Dani! I’m from Brazil, and I’m 21! I’m about 2 years without my period. I have an eating disorder history, but I also get psychological, nutritional and psychiatric help. My gynecologist is GREAT but also is recommending getting hormonal treatment for my bones and heart protection. I’ve gained about 6kilos, still no period. My stress is higher and higher every day though, mental health problems are screaming I don’t know if I have to go with the hormonal treatment or not. I’m kind of confused, tired, unhappy and everything else. My life isn’t the way I expected and I have really low self esteem Well, thanks for your help always ❤

Is it normal for labs to be messed up from HA-elevated liver enzymes, anemia, etc?
