Summary
Are you eating more, gaining weight, and still not getting your period back? Or maybe you’ve gotten one bleed and assumed you were fully recovered—but still can’t get pregnant? In this episode, Lindsey breaks down the 10 most common mistakes she sees women make when trying to restore their cycle and support natural fertility. Spoiler alert: it’s not always about the calories, and it’s definitely not just about weight. Whether you’re tracking macros, still overtraining, or waiting for a doctor to “diagnose” you before taking action, this episode will help you identify what might be holding you back—and what to do instead. In this Episode: Why tracking calories might actually be slowing your recovery The hidden harm of “clean eating” when it comes to hormones Why fiber isn’t always your friend if you have low estrogen The role of your nervous system in ovulation Why one period ≠ full recovery or full fertility Why fertility treatments don’t always work (and what to do first) Why it’s never too early to care about getting your period back 📚 Referenced Episodes: Ep. 14 – Disordered Eating and Digestive Issues Ep. 39 – What Happens if you don’t Recover your Period Ep. 76 – You don’t have to be Underweight to Lose your Period Ep. 86 – What Every Woman Needs to Know About Carbs & Fertility 📥 Links & Resources: 💻 Free Training: How to Get Pregnant with a Missing Period Submit a listener question for the podcast 🧪 Grab our Lab Guide: Understand Labs with HA Connect with Lindsey: Instagram: @food.freedom.fertility Website: foodfreedomandfertility.com Twitter: @lindseylusson
