Katy, a former physical therapist who loves running marathons, lost her period. Katy’s world turned upside down with a rare cancer diagnosis and the ensuing battle with amenorrhea, she never imagined that her fight for health would take her down a path of extreme behaviors with food + exercise. Katy’s story exposes the raw struggle many face with body image, the mental toll of living in a former larger body, and the bittersweet realization that sometimes, stepping back from exercise is what moves us forward.

Katy's experience as a marathon enthusiast provides valuable insights for all of us who juggle the love for intense fitness with our body's need for balance. This episode peels back the curtain on the complex relationship between vigorous training and menstrual health, offering hope and practical guidance for listeners who may be grappling with similar challenges.

Katy's transformation - regaining her menstrual cycle while still embracing her passion for running - serves as an inspiring testament to the power of rest, proper nutrition, and listening to one's body.

Finally, we celebrate the incredible impact of community support on Katy's path to healing. Through shared struggles and triumphs, Katy's narrative underscores that period recovery is not merely a physical process but a journey that can enhance every aspect of life. From improved relationships and career satisfaction to the joy of meals without anxiety, this conversation is a stirring reminder of the freedom that awaits on the other side of fear and restriction. So join us, and be uplifted by the collective strength that comes from a supportive network as we navigate the road to wellness together.
