If you’ve ever lost your period or missed your period (and not because you got pregnant) – we need to talk. This is DANGEROUS. Nobody talks about amenorrhea. This is a SERIOUS health issue when menstruation is absent during a female’s reproductive years, between puberty and menopause.
Why does it happen? It’s due to an imbalance of hormones. And oftentimes this can happen from a combination of overexercising and under eating…which unknowingly, I have done multiple times in my life.
In this video I will teach you what amenorrhea is, what causes it, and how you can cure it. The good news is…it IS curable!

There are effects of having a really low % body fat for both sexes and if no one talks about it then it's clearly common knowledge. Just how no one makes videos about how if you put your hand in a campfire you will get burned.
Be careful around campfires.
I've lost my period for over a year now due to just hating my body in general. I gained some weight, then lost it recently. Working now to just eat, still struggling though. I'm glad people talk about this topic.
lost period several days after my thesis defence, man, this education costs me too much mentally…
I am 14 years old teen and I lost my period for 4 months because extreme diet. I'm dancer. can i get my period back by still dancing?
pls i always joke about not wanting to have period but then july 30 hit and i just realized i havent got my period yet. i usually get it around 20 but it still hasnt come
I had lost my period for 4 months after a long stint of over eating and multiple stresses related to the pandemic, including a shut down of my work location and a family member discovered they needed to battle stage 4 cancer, self care is so important on many levels. I find the Blogilates post of monthly workouts help to keep focused on the big picture and each time I finish the day of workouts I treat myself to things including bubble baths and if I do a full week of workouts I will have a sweet I had been craving with moderation. She is so right that it is so important to be mindful of your body and the stressors that affect it and these videos really help me stay on top of balancing that. Even the posts with healthy recipes help they creepily pop up whenever I have under eaten lol!
It’s true…. I lost my period for 2 years and I was later diagnosed with severe osteopenia
Thanks for talking about it❤️
It’s so important
When your too thin that happens
Amazing vid!
I was working in fitness industry for few years, I had healthy body and shape but the company wanted me to be skinnier and forced me to be on diet. I LOST MY PERIOD. Some coworkers of mine had same situation, but the company didn't care. I'm still looking for to take it back… but it isn't easy.
This is very important topic, thanks!
I dont want it tho. I like that I’m exercising more now and don’t need to worry about periods, you get your period to have kids, and that would happen in about 10-15 years from now so I don’t want to suffer 1 whole week every month just to have something I don’t want. My back hurts to death, I always walk, sit and sleep uncomfortably, no appetite, and just the worst mood ever. I wish I can just stop it and have it when I need cause no
My story is kinda funny i guess
It all started three years ago, i was twelve. I felt fat and ugly so i stopped eating. I would go as long as i could everyday without eating and then have an apple or a plate of beans at dinner time because it was the meal of the day i couldnt skip (because of my family). Lost about 20lbs in three months, then my weight couldnt go any lower. The urges to binge were now huge. I was so scared because i had NO IDEA about ANYTHING. I repeat, back then I was twelve. I can only remember that I thought that the reason my results were stopping was because i didnt have enough willpower to not eat for a whole day. My cravings for sugar were hella big and i had headaches all day long everyday.
I felt invalidated, i thought there was no way it was a problem, the problem was that i couldnt look thin. I thought since some of my friends were skinnier than i, i might just be lazy. My period stopped. I binged, then I purged for the first time. My relationship with food was destroyed and my relationship with myself aswell. I felt anxious and torturing myelf with food was the best way i found to cope with the feeling.
After one year or so of eating disordered as hell, I told myself i was going to fix it so i started eating "normal" again. Not a surprise my weight INMEDIATLY bounced back and got worse than before. My metabolism was crashed, and to be honest, what I lost that year was probably just my muscles and bone density, rather than body fat.
My period returned and I felt awful, like a failure. I gained weight during quarantine and I was stressed. I went on a diet of clean eating. The first three months, not a single change, but I was patient. It worked, starting from month 4 all the results started to show up. I didnt regain the weight and I didnt want to binge. I felt happier than ever because I lost the weight while eating well and that made me feel worthy of eating, I started loving food and looked at it not as a villain, but as something my body needed and was okay to have. This time I lost body fat and gained muscle mass because I walked everyday and excercised twice a week. BUT, i screwed up. i was afraid that if i came back to eating like before i would gain all the weight back, so i told myself i was going to eat less than 1200 everyday. stupid, i know, you can roll your eyes at me and ask why the hell would you do that. I dont know either, i guess i didnt have everything as figured out as i thought. (I was 14years now, just for reference).
I lost more weight but my body wasnt happy and i was afraid of eating basically any food that was not "clean". I started purging again and was so afraid of my own harmful thoughts. I didnt want to do any research on how to lead a healthy lifestyle or how to eat healthily, i just felt like crap and my anxiety told me i didnt deserve to eat. I was, again, living with disordered thoughts but the feeling of invalidation stopped me from seeking help from anyone. I felt lonely, I was a failure. I realized being skinny didnt make me happy. Until I fixed my mindset and faced my internal fears, the way I looked didnt really matter. I had to heal from the inside.
I cried, I let myself gain a few pounds back while analizing my whole life and deciding to make a change. I thought i didnt want to feel invalidated any loner and i wanted to be healthy now. Its been 3 months since i reset my goal. Im eating as balanced and healthy as I can. I try to regain confidence in myself in order to not feel like i dont deserve to eat again, but i now know it is my inside what i need to fix and that having a very nutritious and diverse diet will help me rebuild my microbiom (im sure i pretty much killed everything down there during the months when i was b/p or eating two sticks of carrot a day).
so now to the funny part….
This month my period didnt show up, and im as confused as you
Reason I hate seeing doctor for this problem, they always tell the same thing, "you need to loss weight", even though it stated in my med record that I have PCOS and I try a bunch of diet and workout, but losing weight is just impossible. Now, I just give up and don't care anymore whether I have period or not.
Any knee fat workout??pls
I missed two months once when I was stressed about college. And I’ve also gotten mine twice in one month before: at the beginning of the end and at the end of the month, going into the following month.
I can’t say I wouldn’t be happy if my period stopped 🥴
I lost mine for almost four months now. I use to work out for 2 hours a day. Dropped down to 1 and a half hours two times a week and eating normally. I’m on my way to recovery
I didn't have my period for 2months 7weeks

I am really worried It's been 3 1/2 months I don't get my periods I often feel I have gained weight but I was trying to loose some but it is very disturbing as I am 17 years old can't pay attention on studies please 🥺 help
Hi, I wanted to ask If I overexercising when I workout for about 30 minutes every day and everyday do some 30 minutes cardio. If I do much can you tell me what should I dont do? And I think I eat quite much so It wouldnt be because of food.
I don’t understand. I’m finally at my healthy weight & I have not gotten my period for 6 months now. I still eat a lot mostly balanced macros. On and off. I have days I’d eat up to 2000 cals but next day I’d stick to 1300-1500 . So average of 1500 calories a day. I train about 5 days a week. I feel like my lifestyle is normally healthy. I don’t think I’m underweight. So I don’t get why I still haven’t got my period for almost 6 months now & it’s scaring me.
Am 16 …lost mine long time …I don't want to gain anything back but your scaring me. .
Thank you so so so so so much!! I was so scared you are LITERALLY A LIFE SAVER
I am scared, it has been 3 months since i had my period 😭😭😭
My god I can't stop my tears 😭😭
😭😭😭😭😭 I haven’t had my period for over 6 years!! I’ve been to so many OBGYNs and they say my organs and everything is good. I’ve even had ultrasounds done. I believe is because I gained some weight (like 30 lbs). I feel so heartbroken 😔
How did yo got your period back??
Thank you so much for this 💕
This is probably why I don’t have my period at my age…thanks for sharing!
This is soooooo important!!! I lost my period my second year of college. Thought it was "just stress". I tried to sleep more, eat better, take hot baths, all the things you're supposed to do to "relieve stress". Went to several docs, but kept getting recommendations like "birth control will make you have periods again" and "eat low carb, that helps all my patients!" In my senior year of college I was finally diagnosed with a pituitary TUMOR. Yeah, like a tumor literally IN MY HEAD (not technically on my brain, but still). It had been up there producing ridiculous amounts of a hormone called Prolactin, which suppresses ovulation, and therefore my periods. My doc has warned me to look out for vision changes, among other things. If I had let my amenorrhea go unchecked, my hormones would be severely out of whack, and I could have had permanent damage to my vision. I know mine isn't a typical case, but please please please, if you're not having periods, go to a doctor. And if they're not helpful, go to another doctor, and another, and another, until you find one who is going to help you and not just put you on birth control for no reason. Your health is so, so worth it!!
