Summary

My conversation with Carlijn digs into the parts of her story most interviews skip: what life was like before she lost her period and how slow and sneaky her symptoms really were. She shares how stress, overstudying, isolation, and “doing everything right” added up to hormonal collapse. We also explore what the doctors tested, what they missed, and why simple lifestyle shifts ended up mattering more than pills.
