PRE-WARNING: We do BRIEFLY talk about weight loss and set point theory and what can happen after a while of recovery. However if this is a triggering concept for you, perhaps skip!Kristina was on the show a long while ago (episode 205 "that's how shitty shit got") telling her HA recovery story... but what's she up to now? What does life look like years down the track? What is her relationship with food, body, exercise and even temping like now?This is a seriously popular question, so we're venturing to get some updates from past interviewee's.Enjoy!Join 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/rosay.way_wellness/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

I received a great question via a YouTube commenter - is it too much of a stressor to take a cold shower during HA recovery? I have a personal opinion on this question, so today I tell you my thoughts on not just cold showers but also cold plunges/ice baths, saunas and hot yoga.I also respond to another YouTube commenter about their overshoot weight gain and whether or not it makes sense for their height and weight.
