Hi gorgeous gals!! In this episode, I’m sharing the full story behind why I decided to get my IUD removed, what happened to my cycle afterward, and the steps I took to help my body get my period back naturally. I also walk through the lifestyle changes I made including eating enough calories, managing stress, improving sleep, and strength training. Plus, how these changes not only helped restore my cycle… but also helped me lean out. If you’ve ever struggled with missing periods, hormone imbalances, or feeling like your body isn’t working with you… this episode is for you. 🫶
