Maybe you haven’t lost your period; you never started getting it in the first place. What should you do?
Dr. Jennifer Guadiani advises that you get a really thoughtful medical workup. She details the questions regarding your history that you should be prepared to answer, and suggests tests that a health practitioner may want to run. RED-S / REDs (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) is often the cause of amenorrhea, but as she explains, it’s by no means the only one.

Recovering from RED-S / REDs is hard. It’s even harder if you’re working through it alone. Even if you have professional support, they’re not available 24-7, and that can lead to going down search engine rabbit holes that have the potential to derail everything.
Our online resource, "RED-S: Realize. Reflect. Recover," will answer all those questions swimming around in your head about recovery. It will give you the opportunity to connect with the experts you’ve come to know here, and to surround yourself with a community of others who are going through it too. You can learn more about it at recovery.mykajabi.com.
