Because somewhere along the way, many of us started believing:
āIf my labs are normal⦠if my weight is āfineā⦠if I still function day-to-day⦠then I must be okay.ā

Today, weāre diving into something that doesnāt get talked about enoughāhow restriction and underfueling impact your bone health and menstrual cycle. Not in a fear-based way. Not in a shame-based way.
