Undereating and overexercising can lead to amenorrhea, which means you lose your period. I’ve worked with so many women to help them reclaim their period with my Get Your Period Back program. In this episode, I’m joined by Emily Morello who has gone through the program to successfully get her period back. A Case Study with Emily Morello It’s not often I record a case study episode with a fellow podcaster, but I’m delighted to share this one with Emily Morello. Emily is a blogger and podcaster who talks about finding life’s purpose. She joined my Get Your Period Back program last year and we’ve been working together in this group environment to help Emily regain her period. Emily explains what some of the fears she had before investing in the Get Your Period Back program. Part of her fears was financially based while others were towards the lifestyle changes that she knew she’d need to make.  We talk about the reason the Get Your Period Back program was set at a higher price point than many other health and wellness programs. By making a higher financial investment, you’re more likely to stay committed to finishing the program. I’ve found that is the case with this program, as well, and success stories like Emily’s are evidence. Being present and in the moment of where you are is one of the mindset shifts that all my program participants have to do. When we’re focusing on the here and now, we’re not thinking about what will happen in the future. By keeping our minds here, we realize what we need to do at that moment and that moment alone. Emily shares how she has gone through many different learning curves throughout the Get Your Period Back program. First, she had to change her food and exercise habits - more food, less exercise - and accept that this change is safe and okay to make. In fact, for Emily, she had to completely stop exercising at the beginning of the program, due to an old injury that kept flaring up. Emily has also learned that when she’s feeling stressed, she will fall back into her old habits of exercising more. But what she’s found is that she recognizes when she falls into this routine. Now that she has the knowledge to work her way out of it, she doesn’t perpetuate that unhealthy cycle. Emily also explains how the Get Your Period Back program helped her stop binge eating, among other less desirable habits. By learning what her body actually craves, what makes her feel good, and how to eat for her best health, Emily has been able to make much more conscious decisions when it comes to her diet.

It was something I was willing to do, but it really took me trying to tone back my anxiety to realize that I was worth the commitment.” (18:38) “I realized I did not need exercise to be happy. Then I realized that my exercise addiction and disordered eating were a coping mechanism to get over things that I was struggling with.” (25:13) “I don’t know if I didn’t go through this program of getting my period back that I would have been so rigid with everything else going on, with my exercise and all that.
