Check out Colomba's Podcast "Grounding Nomads"

I love Colomba, she is an amazing member of our community at The HA Society and is one of the most dedicated and patient women dealing with hypothalamic amenorrhea I've met.

In this episode she tells her story of losing her period, joining The HA Society Restore Group Program and then making the changes she needed to RECOVER finally. Her recovery hasn't been linear, and that is perfect. It's not always going to be that way and neither is life. Period recovery takes rest, patience and some solid mental fortitude. I think you'll be inspired!

In this episode, Ashley sits down with Gwyn Drabek to discuss her powerful journey through hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) recovery. Like so many women, Gwyn was doing all the right things—or so she thought. She tried every approach to regain her period except the one that actually worked: eating more and resting.

From veganism to juice cleanses, fasting, functional medicine, and endless supplements, Gwyn was searching for a solution that wouldn’t require her to change her "healthy" lifestyle. But once she finally let go of restriction and embraced true nourishment, her body responded.

Now, as a soon-to-be dietitian, Gwyn’s experience has completely reshaped how she views health and nutrition. No more cutting out foods, striving for perfection, or obsessing over "clean eating." Instead, she’s on a mission to help others find balance in a world dominated by diet culture.

In this episode, Dani sits down with Makayla Russo, a graduate of the HHAP certification, to discuss her recovery journey and how discovering the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) changed her life. They dive into why understanding your body's signals is so empowering, how FAM helps build trust in the recovery process, and why more women should have access to this life-changing knowledge.

As we launch the HHAP certification, this conversation is a perfect reminder of how this program can transform not just your own recovery but also your ability to help others. Now, Makayla has her own coaching business, teaching women to understand and trust their bodies.

In this episode, Ashley sits down with her past client, a former queen of biohacking, who spent 11 years chasing every optimization trick in the book—keto, carnivore, endless supplements, and every functional test imaginable. She did everything except the one thing that actually mattered: nourishing her body.

Like so many women, she thought she was doing everything “right.” But the truth? Health isn’t about biohacking or trying to out smart your body—it’s about the foundations. No amount of fasting, testing, or supplementation can replace what your body actually needs: enough food, enough rest, and true balance.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still struggling, this episode is for you. It’s time to see past the smoke and mirrors and reclaim real health.

In this episode, Emily Stenseth shares her HA recovery journey—not to get pregnant, but to reclaim her health and life. We dive into the pressures of chasing a revenge body after a break-up and the misleading health advice from TikTok. Emily opens up about the subtle control mechanisms—like clock-watching and rigid eating rules—that held her back, even when everything else seemed “right.”

Her story is a powerful reminder that sometimes it’s the smallest habits that have the biggest impact on your body’s ability to feel safe. Now, Emily’s life is fuller because she is fuller—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

In this episode, Dani, Ashley, and Mishi dive into the concept of the “hill you’re willing to die on” in recovery. We all have beliefs we refuse to budge on—but at what cost? Many women want both full recovery and to hold onto certain habits or mindsets, yet struggle with the reality that rigidity comes with sacrifice.

We explore how culture tells us we can have it all, but in reality, true healing requires flexibility. If you’re feeling stuck, this episode will challenge you to reflect on what you’re holding onto—and whether it’s worth what you’re giving up.

In this episode, Ashley talks with TEDx speaker Marcey Rader about her 12-year journey to recovering from hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA). Misdiagnosed with menopause for years, Marcey opens up about the struggles of being a high achiever, the toll it took on her health and relationships, and how she ultimately learned to slow down and align her life with her values.

Marcey’s story is a powerful reminder for Type A personalities to prioritize well-being over the relentless pursuit of more. This is an episode you won't want to miss!
