how wise are women’s bodies, to dampen the metabolic fire when reserves are low?

to allocate limited energetic resources towards systems crucial to keeping her alive?

and, how resilient is she for all of this to be reversible...with consistent listening, tending, nourishing, and befriending.

she is always working for you.

it is never too late to repair your relationship with your body🤎

True, deep, real recovery from hypothalamic amenorrhea is an initiation.
A metamorphosis.
A rite of passage.

Through recovery comes death of the old you, and birth of HER.

Your truest self.
Your authentic self.
Your most ALIVE self.

She is powerful.
She is fierce.
She is sensual.
She is wise.
She is feminine.
She is creative.
She is cyclical, spirolic.

She is the wild woman within all of us, just waiting to be let free🐺

Let her free, babe.

It’s time to remember HER.

💭What came alive for you after HA recovery?

Rooting for you, always– Em🤎

You spend hours scrolling recipes on pinterest.

Your discovery page is filled with perfectly displayed meals and baking inspiration.

Your instagram saves are endless recipes you hope to make.

You lie in bed at night planning tomorrow’s meals.

You might even log food in your tracking app days in advance…down to the gram.

And everyone around you just assumes…
“You’re such a foodie.”
"You just love cooking."

But, I’d like to offer a gentle reflection:

Is it love of food…or is food taking up a lot of space in your mind?

If it’s the latter, you’re not alone.

Many of the women I support have experienced this, as have I.

A deep *preoccupation* with food isn’t a personality trait.

Often what we’re experiencing in moments like this is mental hunger.

A persistent mental pull toward food.

Thinking about it constantly.
Planning it.
Researching it.
Saving recipes.

Your body, your brain, gently asking for your attention.

Mental hunger commonly shows up when the body isn’t receiving enough nourishment or when there’s ongoing restriction.

Your body starts to turn the volume up on food cues because her job is quite simple:

Keep you alive and nourished. Keep you safe🤎

Other ways mental hunger may show up:

—Feeling out of control around food/certain foods
—Intense cravings when your guard drops
—Sleep walking and eating (this was me for years)

When we don’t understand what’s happening, shame often follows.

But what if this wasn’t something to fight against?

Your body is so wise– she’s guiding you back towards nourishment and safety.

When we begin to understand this, we move from:

Control → curiosity
Shame → compassion
Fighting your body → listening to her

That’s where true healing begins.

If my words resonate and you desire support on your recovery journey, I'm here🤎

continuing the theme of "are you eating enough?"

under eating impacts every system of the body, and it often flies under the radar.

this post only scratches the surface, but I hope it inspires you (including practitioners) to consider the role under-eating (intentional or unintentional) could be playing in your (or your client's) symptoms/experience.

in a culture obsessed with all of the ways to *change* your body, take up less space, lose weight...we are living in an epidemic of under-fed, under-nourished women💔

Somewhere along the way, I fear we've lost the plot.

Even if just for a moment— can you notice what happens *in* your body when you step outside in the sun.

When you cuddle your fur/human baby.

When you laugh with your girlfriends over pizza + bev of choice.

When you swing your hips to your favorite song.

When you get lost in imagination reading a fiction book, nothing to 'teach' you or 'learn'.

When you let your body simply BE, instead of constantly DO-ing *to* it.

When you experience joy, pleasure, ease, okay-ness...*with absolutely zero ulterior motives*.

Healing doesn't happen in the extremes.

And, I think many have forgotten what it looks and feels like to actually live their lives.

Some of the women I've supported who would be deemed as the epitome of health based on their external appearance, are actually suffering the most internally.

Gentle inquiry:

•How much of what you're doing/the way you lead your life in the name of "health" is leaving you filled with more energy, true peace, joy, and presence?

•How are your behaviors serving you in feeling most alive? And how might they not be?

We've only got one precious life🩷✨

*Cheers my glass of red in one hand and a slice of pizza in the other*

May every woman near and far be abundantly nourished🤎

May she EAT🤎

And may she experience the deep pleasure food brings to life🤎

-

**this post does not include a vast amount of nuance that I am aware of. also, it's almost never as simple as "just" need to eat more...eating more is so, so scary for so many woman...this post was born from a bit of satire and spice🌶️**

Can you feel the unsatisfied hunger?

The death of the old version of yourself, the old belief systems, the old identity, the well worn patterns no longer serving you can feel (and often is) quite painful.

This is the underworld journey.
The becoming.
Your initiation.

The woman on the other side is waiting🤎

Do you resonate with patterns of 'avoidance' or 'fixer'?

I see them often in the women I support.

I know it all too well, because I lived in these patterns for years.

Let's hold so much compassion for ourselves and these patterns, while consciously choosing a different path.

No matter what your 'healing' journey entails...

Menstrual health + fertility concerns.
Recovering from HA, disordered eating, eating disorders, orthorexia, exercise compulsion.
Physical pain or injury.
Gut, hormone, thyroid, mental health concerns (all interconnected, btw).
Postpartum healing.

To heal, to achieve long-term/lasting impact, to hop off the hamster wheel of fads, to break the cycle of social media scrolling & googling symptoms...

Requires your body, your system, to feel safe.
Requires trust.
Requires curiosity.

What might it feel like to foster more curiosity?
What might it feel like to allow yourself to build capacity to be with the discomfort & ask...

What do you need, body?
What do you need, heart?
What do you need, mind?
What do you need, spirit?

Oftentimes- the foundations, the place to start, is quite simple.

It's not thousands of dollars of testing, a 10-page protocol, or an unrealistic daily regimen.

I hope this sparks some opportunity to get curious🌻

It feels really nice when science/research supports what women have always *felt* and known to be true in their bodies and lived experience.

Tending to the uniqueness and complexity of your female nervous system, to your natural rhythms, is sacred and potent work.

It is the forgotten medicine amidst the biohacking, quick fixes, and over-riding.

The permission to move slowly when your body asks.

The gentle softening of your belly as you sip your warm drink that reminds you of home.

The sensation of sunlight on your bare skin and eyeballs, your feet on the earth.

Meeting your edges, your symptoms (body's communication), with gentle compassion and curiosity.

While not suppressing the very real, very human expansive range of emotions.

My gentle invitation to you:

What might it feel like to come back to remembering, to listening, to what your body has always known?

She is so wise. You are so wise.

I absolutely love holding and walking alongside women through this journey.

Rooting for you, always✨ Em

P.s. are we surprised by this?

08/04/2025

I remember a long while back listening to someone (though I can't recall who) share how trying to recover from an eating disorder in the society/culture we live in is near synonymous with an individual battling alcoholism trying to recover living in a bar.

And woooo-ee did that hit.

Many moons later, here is my rendition.
Both ice cream, but different flavors.

If you take one thing from this post, I hope it is this-

The invitation to come back home is always there for you🌷

It doesn't matter how long it's been.
It doesn't matter how deep the wounds.
It doesn't matter how broken you feel.
It doesn't matter if you can't feel that as truth right now.

She remembers. Your body remembers.

Wishing you a life of FULLness, ALIVEness, and one that is EMBODIED🤝

It is only going to get harder in the world we live in, I fear.

But we can choose it for ourselves- one small choice at a time, one hour, day, week at a time.

Healing generations before and after us🌱

Rooting for you, always🌷

It's time for a remembrance...

Of a woman's body as her compass.
Of a woman's intuition as science.
Of a woman's cycle as sacred.
Of a woman's lived experience as evidence.
Of a woman's knowing as truth.

Somewhere along the way, a woman's lived experience, her values, her BODY, seem to have been removed from evidence based medicine.

Dismissal of worry surrounding absent menstrual bleeds— "it's normal" she's told, "we will have you start birth control to regulate your cycles".

Something within her feels unsettled. She knows.

A diagnosis of unexplained infertility— "your only option is IVF".

The whisper within says "there's something more". She knows.

Inner turmoil, angst, emotional rollercoasters, PMS, something isn't quite right— "let's start you on an antidepressant".

She feels a disconnect. Is this truly the answer? She knows.

Low desire, absent libido, pain with s3x— "this is normal in long term relationships...drink some wine, just relax".

Her v***a tells a different story. There's an inner voice within. She knows.

It's time to call out the systems that dismiss the wisdom of a woman's body.

Systems trained to fear what they don't understand.

A woman who is fully embodied, fully alive, fully connected to her life force...

Is powerful.
Is untamed.
Is a threat.

It's time to come back home to your body, to her.
It's time to listen to the whispers.
It's time to reclaim your power.

It's time to remember...

Your body is the evidence.

There is no black + white.
There is nuance.
There is benefit to a variety of approaches/care.
This is not polarizing.
This is a call for more *curiosity*.

This is a call for deeper attunement in your conception journey.

Relationships, intimacy, pleasure, receiving.
The wisdom and communication of your body.
Congruence between what you say, and how you live.
Processing, tending to, integrating unresolved emotions, trauma, wounds.

All of this ^ *deeply* matters and is deeply impactful.

But, you probably haven't been asked about nor explored it.

Does this resonate with you? Do any of the questions in particular hit home?💭

I would love to hear.

Rooting for you, always🌱
