Summary
Lindsey sits down with Taylor, a former elite marathoner who qualified for the Olympic Trials twice—but spent 15 years without a period. After years of overtraining, under-fueling, and convincing herself she could “fix it” on her own, Taylor finally surrendered control, restored her cycle, and went from no period to pregnancy within months. This is a raw, faith-filled conversation about what it really takes to let go of perfectionism, heal your relationship with exercise, and rebuild trust with your body. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why partial recovery never works when control is still in the driver’s seat The mindset shift that helped Taylor surrender her addiction to running How faith and community helped her rebuild a healthy relationship with food What recovery looked like week by week—and how she got her period back after 15 years Understanding when fertility treatment is okay after recovery The unexpected lessons she’s learned now navigating pregnancy after HA Connect With Us If you’ve been “trying to do it on your own” and still don’t have your period, let Taylor’s story be your nudge that it’s time for real support. 👉 Learn more about the Food Freedom Fertility Society : https://www.foodfreedomandfertility.com/ Take the free quiz to uncover what’s keeping your cycle stuck: Fertility Fix for the Fit Girl Quiz Connect with Lindsey: Instagram: @food.freedom.fertility Website: foodfreedomandfertility.com Twitter: @lindseylusson
