77. The Ups and Downs of Recovering from Hypothalamic Amenorrhea with Lucy McConnell

Sep 17, 2020

Today I’m joined by Lucy McConnell, a dietitian in the making, wine lover and decadent cheese board creator with a passion for healthy living.

Her love for working out and eating well started innocently like it does for many women, but over time spiralled to a place where her body no longer felt safe and she lost her period not once, but twice. I was lucky enough to work with Lucy to help her recover period, but more than that improve her relationship with her body and food.

Today’s interview is a deep dive into her journey including:

• Her passion for sport and fitness from a young age up until now
• When she realised her healthy lifestyle wasn’t so healthy
• The first time she heard about hypothalamic amenorrhea
• What recovery was like the first time around
• The missing pieces of recovery and why her relapse happened
• Getting her period back for good and her biggest learnings through that process
• Having Hypothalamic Amenorrhea and working in the fitness industry
• Adjusting to a new normal in terms of food, training, and lifestyle to keep her cycle for good
