Hey, I’m Dani!
I am the host of the wildly popular Hypothalamic Amenorrhea Podcast, the founder of The HA Society and I coach women through an issue called Hypothalamic Amenorrhea – where your period has gone missing due to over exercise and under eating!
I can talk about period health all day.
Too many women have been led to believe that
A missing period is no big deal
Period problems are to be expected.
Infertility to be "unexplained".
That you can fix your missing period by simply taking the birth control pill.
The scary thing is that more women than you realize are walking around, day to day, with this very issue.
The truth is that missing periods are a result of our culture. Women are told to be perfect: the perfect partner, daughter, career woman, mother and have wild financial success – all while staying thin and fit.
Things we could talk about on your podcast or publication
The importance of having your period! In a world where not having a cycle could be considered a huge convenience, understanding the role of your cycle is crucial.
How periods go missing…and how to get them back! Discuss what your missing period might be trying to tell you and how to create an action plan to get it back! What factors may contribute to a missing period? What are top diet and lifestyle strategies to explore? What lab tests should you collect? What are natural and functional strategies for support vs. conventional approaches?
Approaching Women's Health with an Empowered Mindset: HA recovery can feel overwhelming. Explore how can you shift from a mindset of lack to one of abundance? How can you focus daily on spiraling up and net positive actions? How can you find a team to support you in your recovery journey that empowers you vs. fuels you with fear and lack? Identify what daily practices can support empowered health?
Is "Healthy Eating" Related to your Missing Periods or Infertility? Explore the angles in which a hyper focus on health may play a role in period problems, missing periods, and infertility. How to identify when healthy eating becomes orthorexia? What are warning signs from your body to watch for? How can you create proper balance with health using inner and outer wisdom? How can you start to focus on nourishment and shift away from a rigid or deprivation mindset?
How to Exercise and/or Train at a high level, SAFELY Over exercising is running rampant and women at all levels, from weekend warriors to high level athletes are experiencing period problems. How to identify when your training is no longer serving you? What are warning signs from your body to watch for? How can you create proper balance with training and your period? How can you start to focus on nourishment and optimal movement, shifting away from a rigid or obsessive mindset?
Stress and Women's Health: Is stress standing in the way of feeling your best and achieving your goals.

What warning signs from your body suggest high levels of stress and the beginnings of stress impact. How can you fuel your ambitions while still supporting your health and vitality? What tools can you apply to support prioritization, stress management, and self care balance.
The Fertility Awareness Method and How it can Help: The Fertility Awareness Method is crucial in helping my clients to understand where their cycle is at not just through recovery, but afterwards. This is how we are able to take control of our reproductive health without the need for contraceptive drugs or fertility treatments. What is FAM? How does it work with HA? How does it work for cycle optimization? What are the healthy parameters for the menstrual cycle that we should be looking for?
Explore THESE diet and lifestyle strategies before you start fertility treatment: Having a hard time getting your period back OR getting pregnant?

What lab testing might we want to explore? What diet modifications are musts!? What are the biggest diet and lifestyle mistakes that women commonly make when trying to conceive?
Body Positivity and Body Acceptance: My path actually started as a self love, body positivity artist. Body image, fear of weight gain, fear of not being accepted by others – these are all factors that contribute to why committing to HA recovery is challenging. Let’s discuss this challenging topic and how our society, upbringing, culture and fears are holding us back and what we can do about it.
