Ever feel like you’re doing everything “right” with your health and still can’t figure out why your period’s gone MIA? Or maybe you’re confused about what’s really going on post birth control and wonder if you’ll ever feel “normal” again.
In this episode, I sit back down with period recovery specialist Victoria Myers to unpack the overlooked signs of hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), the science-backed practical strategies real women are using to regain their cycles and fertility naturally, and finally getting real answers when you’ve been dismissed or misunderstood.
We’re digging into why so many women are told IVF is their only option, how to differentiate between HA and PCOS (and yes, you can have both), what labs and lifestyle tweaks actually matter, and exactly what it takes to feel safe in your body so your hormones and fertility can thrive. So if you’re ready to focus on the right changes to make your cycle regular again, even if you’ve struggled for years or lost hope, hit play and let’s dive in.
3:54 – Why Root Cause Investigation (HA vs. PCOS) Should Always Come First
9:22 – How Eating More and Exercising Less Can Jumpstart Period Recovery
14:34 – How Tracking Basal Body Temperature and Cervical Mucus Confirms Ovulation
19:34 – What 2,500 Calories a Day Can Do for Your Hormones (Yes, Even If You’re Petite)
29:33 – Why Self-Worth and Body Image Are Tightly Linked with Period Health and The Best First Steps To Take If You Suspect HA or Irregular Cycles

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
