Welcome back to the channel! In this episode I share my personal journey of how I reversed osteopenia (low bone mineral density) after an eating disorder and 10 years with a missing period.
I share the exact steps I took to achieve normal bone mineral density including regaining my menstrual cycle and recovering from hypothalamic amenorrhea, engaging in progressive overload and strength training for bone health, focusing on nutrition like having enough calcium each day and the correct balance of macronutrients, prioritising rest and recovery, ensuring energy available and good vitamin D levels, and practicing patience for long-term improvement.
