While periods can suck sometimes, they're also an important indicator of health. If you miss getting your period for several months and you are not pregnant, you could have a condition called hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA). The main causes are stress, disordered eating, being underweight, and/or too much exercise.

In this episode, Kiah and Meg chat with Sarah Liz King about:

• Sarah's personal journey with recovering from HA
• What HA actually is, and how it's diagnosed
• The steps to get started on a recovery journey
• Coping with body changes that might happen during the renourishment process
• How to safely reintroduce or increase exercise after your period comes back
• Sarah's top 3 tips for anyone who is healing their relationship with food & exercise
