What Other Functional Providers Get Wrong About Treating Infertility from Period Loss
What if the reason your period isn’t coming back… isn’t because your body is complicated, but because your care plan is incomplete?
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest gaps I see in the functional medicine space when it comes to infertility and missing periods.
Because here’s what keeps happening:
Women are told they have estrogen dominance.
They’re told to cut carbs.
They’re given long supplement protocols.
And when it doesn’t work? They’re labeled a “complex case.”
But for so many high-achieving, active women… the issue isn’t excess.
It’s depletion.
I’m sharing real client stories (like Amy, Marta, and Lauren) to show you what actually happens when you shift from a generic hormone-balancing approach to a true period recovery strategy.
Inside this episode, we cover:
-
Why “estrogen dominance” is often misdiagnosed in women with missing periods
-
The difference between hormone imbalance vs. low energy availability
-
How under-fueling, overtraining, and stress shut down ovulation
-
Why supplements alone won’t restore your cycle
-
What a true fertility-focused recovery protocol should include
-
And why expertise in disordered eating recovery is essential for lasting results
If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of trying harder, doing more, and still not seeing your period return—this episode will help you understand why.
And more importantly, what to do instead.
