This week's episode of EMBody Radio hits near and dear to my heart. As someone who struggled with amenorrhea, was misdiagnosed with PCOS, and was tired of being dismissed by OBGYN after OBGYN because I was "lean and athletic, so not having a period is normal," period talk is SO important to me. As women, it's our job to be our own advocate and stick up for ourselves and our reproductive health. Today I'm joined by author Nicola Rinaldi behind the book No Period, Now What?, a book that absolutely changed my life when it came to learning about my body, my periods, why they weren't happening, and why they matter so much. On today's episode, we talk about: -What is hypothalamic amenorrhea? (HA) -Why are periods important? -What causes HA? -Birth control and it's implications for losing your period. -Energy availability and what that means for your period. (Be sure to check out Nicola's blog post on the topic as well!) -Differentiating between PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and HA. -How to recover from HA. -How to psychologically deal with gaining weight/taking time off from training to recover. -... so much more! ----------------- Find Nico here: http://www.noperiodnowwhat.com/ **PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET THIS BOOK!** No Period, Now What?

It's where we do the majority of our recovering from training, it's what leaves us feeling fresh and ready to get after it the following day, and it's extremely important for maintaining hormonal balance within the body. If you aren't getting a good night's sleep, you're missing out on a huge portion of your fitness journey. I've been using a PerformaSleep mattress for over a year now, and my sleep has never been better. Every PerformaSleep mattress has this thing called CopperGel Technology, which offers a cooler nights sleep and added support where needed. It helps you're your spine in proper alignment, which helps prevent any back pain. It also doesn't use traditional memory foam. Instead, they use Enersorb. Enersorb cradles your body to alleviate pressure, but also has a little bounce to it. So instead of sinking into a bed, it's like floating right on top of a comfy cloud. The top of each mattress is made with TenCel, a wicking fabric that helps you sleep cooler. On top of that, all Performa Sleep mattress are made right at home here in the US. I can honestly say I can't imagine not sleeping on a Performa Sleep mattress now that I've had one for so long. If you want to start getting the best sleep of your life, head over to PerformaSleep.com and use the code "EMILY125" for $125 off your mattress. ---------------------- Find me here: https://www.emilyduncanfitness.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/em_dunc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/em_dunc YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/emdunc
