In this episode, Julia Jarriel shares her recovery journey, one marked by slow, steady progress that challenged her patience, but ultimately taught her that she isn't in control. As someone who was highly active and fueled well above 2,500 calories, Julia’s story reminds us that losing a period doesn't always look like "under-eating" and recovering it isn’t always fast, even when you're "doing everything right."If you’re feeling stuck or wondering why your recovery feels slower than others’, this conversation will reassure you that slow doesn’t mean broken and that sometimes, the long road is exactly what your body (and mind) needs.Jool Wellness - Use HASOCIETY for 12% offhttps://joolwellness.comJoin The HA Societyhttp://thehasociety.com/joinWork 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingVisit us on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/c/danisheriffFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehasocietyhttp://instagram.com/danisheriffhttps://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarcia/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
