Fara's story is one of those "I didn't really fit the mold for the HA diagnosis" ones – which we love here at The HA Podcast!Fara wasn't 100% convinced that approaching recovery from a holistic angle was going to be the answer either...but she was determined to give it a try before going down the fertility treatment route. And gosh, are we glad she did!Often times we feel like we are unicorns...seemingly the most difficult cases out there but with some keen investigating and consistency we really can turn things around.In this episode, we go over Fara's history (birth control and dieting), her goals (pregnancy), her challenges (skin issues), and how she connected all of the dots to get her period back.Join The HA Societyhttp://thehasociety.com/joinWork 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehapodcasthttp://instagram.com/danisheriffThe Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
