• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: Hello, hello guys, and welcome back to another episode of the podcast.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: This one is going to be focused on how to get your period back.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: I did a poll, not a poll, a question box on Instagram to ask you guys what you wanted to hear about on the podcast.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: And this one was a very popular request.

• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, we're gonna be diving in how to get your period back.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna be going over a few of I think it's either three.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: Kind of like three top areas that's kind of like what caused you to first lose in the first place and how you can go about getting it back.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: So that being said, let's dive into the episode.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: Number one, not eating enough.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: So you need in order to get your period back, you need to have the building blocks of hormones, which means we need to be eating A, enough but B also enough healthy fats.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: So if we have a history of under-eating, if we've been doing the whole 1200 calorie, 1300 calorie, depending on your height, maybe even up to 140, 1500 calorie thing, um, and not eating enough, our body basically shuts down the processes that's going to allow you to have a cycle.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: It is not going to be building your hormones because it's like, well shit, she's not giving me enough food.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: I do not have the resources right now to be putting towards a period.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna lose that.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: Like that goes out the window because right now your body's in survival mode.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: It is just trying to survive because you're not giving it enough.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: So right now it's like, well, I need enough energy to pump her heart to make her lungs work.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and so right now the priority is not gonna be going to the cycle because when you are in survival mode, that is not the priority.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: And this also goes along with if you're probably having gut health issues and you don't have your cycle, that's also a sign that things are starting to go even more kind of like downhill, if you will, and your body is like further shutting down its processes.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: So undereating slash not eating enough fats, being worried about calories and all that is not serving you and is actually doing detriment.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: You need to understand that not all calories are created equal.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: Some make you burn fat, some make you store fat, some, you know, especially when it comes to fats.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: So many people are scared of fats.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: For example, my chia pudding, I get so many messages about the fear of the fats in my chia pudding recipe.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: And ladies, let me tell you, fats do not make you fat, all right?
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: Like if they did, if fats made you fat, then I would be.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: Like, but should show you enough that it's not going to your body needs fats, it needs enough fuel.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you should be able to easily eat 2,000 calories a day, no problem, and be long and lean and all of that.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: And if you're not, that's a sign that your metabolism needs support, that your body needs support, and we need to allow it to feel safe so that you are going to get your period back.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: Because when it comes down to it, not eating enough will just put your body into fight or flight.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: And if your body's in fight or flight, it's not going to be producing enough hormones to have a period.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: So that's about not eating enough.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: Next up we have stress, which is kind of tied also into the not eat enough, but because I also mentioned the fight or flight, this kind of ties into it.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: So if you are super stressed out, if you have a history of like chronic stress, whether it's stress at home, work, job, maybe you're a student, whatever it is, that stress again comes back to, well, live is super stressed.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to have a period right now because it's not convenient for me right now.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: Right now, we need to be putting our energy towards survival because when we're stressed out, we put our body in that fight or flight response, which means we are right now just trying to survive.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: We're not going to do the things which are lesser of a priority, like our cycle, right?
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: Because that always goes to the back burner when our body thinks we're running from a lion.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: And it cannot tell the difference between you running from a lion and the stress of maybe like losing your job over this past like year, or and maybe something changed, you had to move.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: All the uncertainty, everything that's happened around the world in the last year has really made so much of us not feel safe.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: And so if your body's not feeling safe, it is not going to produce a period.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: You need to a release the trauma and you need to learn how to manage stress because at the end of the day, you are not going to change the fact that stressful things happen in life, but you can change how your body responds to stress.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: And I am like, I know because I've been there, there was a time where the smallest amount of stress or like the smallest little thing would send me over the edge into full panic, you know, like heart racing, crying, like blur to little panic anxiety.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: And I because my body was living in that constant like state of stress.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: So that that little bit of water from one little thing going like wrong, quote unquote, or one other little thing happening, made it topple over because I was living with so much chronic stress in my body.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: You need to release it.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: So how to get it back is releasing that stress, releasing that trauma, and of course, learning to eat enough, learning you know, how to get in tune with your body for how much your body needs, and not doing it from a place of obviously not loving yourself, which takes me to number three, and that is the third one is normally one of the things that people forget about the most, don't want to address the most, and avoid addressing until they absolutely have to.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: So this is your signal to you to not wait to address this third cause, and that is the emotional and energetic roots of not having your cycle.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: If you do not have your cycle, there is at least a part of you, so there's always a physical um cause and like an emotional energetic, right?
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: So you gotta fix the physical, we also have to do the energy and the emotional side, is not liking yourself and not being connected to your feminine and not wanting to be fully a woman, right?
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: Because when we're not having a cycle, like the cycle, your womb, this has to do with like being female, being woman, being in your feminine.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: But if you are, if you don't like yourself, if you have a lack of self-love, if you have a fear of being seam, if you have low self-esteem and self-worth, right?
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: This is all tied to you not fully loving yourself, right?
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: Because when you don't like yourself, when you're rejecting yourself, perhaps this even goes back to the first thing I caused with not eating enough.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: If you hate your body, hate yourself, A, that's gonna make you lose your cycle, but then you're not eating enough, trying to make yourself smaller because you don't like yourself.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that adds a second layer, so now we got two layers, and now we have the stress that your body is a under because you've spiked your cortisol from not eating enough, so your body's in fight or flight, but you're also carrying the stress of everything else that you're putting on your body plus the world.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: And now we just see how the first three things I just mentioned are already layered on together, and it's no wonder you don't have a cycle.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: And so you really need to tackle all of these things if you want to get your cycle back.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: So you need to start being in your feminine.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: Um, definitely go back.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_00: I did an episode, um, I think it's called How Being in Your F being in your feminine is a secret to abundance or something like that.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so go back and listen to that episode.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: But you need to clear your womb space, you need to be doing womb clearing, womb blessing.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and if you need help with that, definitely get into one-on-one, well-nourished, or even goddess.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but especially at least with getting your cycle back, if you get into well-nourished, then we can do it in your one-on-one.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: We can do some clearing, you'll do some in the calls.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: I'll get you eating enough, I'll heal heal the physical and the emotional because you get a one-on-one protocol with me.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: Like each person who joins gets their own custom protocol, so we can do that.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: But so I just wanted to remind you guys that well nourished is open for the last time this year, and it is only open until the end of August.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: And this is gonna teach you everything that you need to know so that you can feel delicious in your body, you're not gonna need any diet, count any calories or anything.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: Ever again, your relationship with food is fixed.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_00: PMS, we can say goodbye, and you are just going to finally feel like how you should feel in yourself and in your body.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: Plus, you do the deep healing work, and I can't tell you how many times people have tried to tell me that they have done quote unquote everything, but the reason it never sticks is because you never did the deep healing emotional work and you never had access to someone like me in a safe container.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: So don't forget that you also get a one-on-one session with me when you join, so you do get a full treatment protocol from me.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: And once you do well nourished, you will have those lifetime results.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: You have all the tools and tricks in your tool belt, and it's really about integrating in this live container so that you can continue to feel good past the eight weeks and for the rest of your life.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: So don't forget to check out the link in the description box.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: Definitely send me a DM on Instagram if you have any questions, because I don't want you guys to miss out on this wonderful opportunity to finally change your life and to walk into the rest of this year and next year feeling like your best self.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: So, any questions, let me know.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: And yeah, with that, let's get back to the episode.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_00: You need to stop disliking yourself.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: And oftentimes people think, well, I'll stop disliking myself when I'm this size or when I'm this or when I'm that, and it needs to come before.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: Now, another kind of like cause when it comes to losing your cycle with the emotions and the energetics is you not feeling like you have control over your choices.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_00: Now, right now, there's a lot of people who do not feel like they have control over their choices.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: So this is gonna be affecting your cycle.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: You need to give yourself the autonomy and the control because like you have control over your own body.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: No one has control over your physical body but you.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: And so they might control your outer circumstances, but what happens within your body is completely and totally up to you.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: How your body responds to its outer environment is totally and completely up to you.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: So you need to start identifying, like, ask yourself right now if you struggle with like um not having your cycle, where do I feel low self-worth, low self-esteem?
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_00: Um, is it like with my career, with my job?
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: Is it when I look in the mirror?
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: Is it about my skin?
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_00: Is it about like what is it about?
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: Where do I not where am I not fully in love with myself?
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_00: So I want you to really like ask yourself that.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: And then I want you to think about where do I feel like I don't have control over my choices?
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: So um I had a client l uh recently who has to get a certain something, let's just say we all know what it is, in order to keep her job.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: And she feels like she doesn't have control right now because they are mandating it in order for her to keep her job, but she feels like she can't leave her job because she needs the money, right?
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_00: So in that case, well, she's that feels like she doesn't have control over her choices, so you know, obviously I had to help her through it, and like we've helped her gain control, etc.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: But like that's a perfect instance of where, you know, right now a lot of people are feeling they don't have control over their choices.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: So another energetic cause emotional route that you guys need to think about when it comes to you know not having a cycle, but this also goes back to this could even be tied to something like PCOS or infertility if you've had uh multiple miscarriages, trouble conceiving, is where do you not feel nurtured enough to feel fertile?
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_00: Now that seems like bizarre.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: Like, where do you not feel nurtured enough to have a cycle?
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_00: Because there's part of you, there is like a literal block within your being that is stopping you from feeling fully nurtured enough to have a cycle.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_00: So that's another like one, two, that's a third, like little avenue that I want you guys to think about when it comes to how to get your cycle back in terms of emotional roots.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're coming to me and you're like, Liv, I'm eating enough, A, I very I think I've had two out of the okay, I don't know, hundreds and hundreds of women now, might even be thousands of women now that I've helped who who've actually come to me and they're eating enough.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: So even when you think like Liv, I'm eating enough, I don't know.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see, enjoy and well nourish, and we'll see, because they normally aren't.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but also don't forget to look at all these energetic roots.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, the next one I want you to think about is do you carry resentment towards your mom?
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: Now, this is again, I always say this every time I bring up parents, nothing against parents.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: Parents do the best that they can.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: That does not mean that what they did we did not interpret a certain way that maybe we have resentment towards.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_00: So I want you to really think does any part of you resent your mom about anything?
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_00: From the minute you were born till now, is there anything you're still holding on to resentment like resent-wise towards your mom?
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I also want you to think about are you feeling demanding of yourself and others?
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: Is your life a struggle?
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: Are you a hard person?
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: Does your family perhaps have a pain pattern with women?
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: All of these things.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: Really start to think about them.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_00: Now, also one thing I want to mention, um, because this goes back to not eating enough, but like also not eating enough with excessive exercising or like needing to burn things off.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: Even like maybe you're like, oh, you're eating enough, but if you are also burning 500 calories a day or like you know, doing all these intense workouts, you may not be eating enough to compensate for that.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, always making sure you're doing the physical, like eating enough, not doing excessive exercise as well as the emotional, right?
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: Because that's gonna really provide the clues as to which emotions or thoughts might be limiting you.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: So I also want you to think about where are you giving power to outside influences?
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: This is another energetic room.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: This is why, and I know I'm kind of like planting these seeds in your head so you can start to think about it.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but obviously, like if you want to heal all those, I can help you do so.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_00: But it's really important for you to first become aware kind of of where this could be happening, so you can kind of at least start to be like, oh, okay, that makes sense, right?
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_00: So, where are you giving away your power to outside influences?
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: Because, like I said, at the end of the day, you are autonomous over your life, over your being.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: Your thoughts dictate your reality.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_00: You can either play victim and become subject to the outside surroundings, or you can take the power back within yourself because you have the power to create a life you want, right?
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_00: So, no matter all these outside influences, are you if you're giving power to you know your boss, or maybe it's your parents, or you maybe your in-laws, or whoever it is, giving away your power to these outside influences is going to give away your ability to have a proper cycle, if that makes sense.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: The next thing I want to mention is even going back to like the not loving yourself and like rejecting yourself is also denying yourself.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: So I want you to think about where are you denying yourself in all the different areas of your life?
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: Where are you denying yourself in your relationships?
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: Now, don't forget both romantic and friendships.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_00: So, where are you denying yourself?
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: Um, are you settling for less than you should?
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_00: Are you not denying yourself of like maybe the job you fully want as well?
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_00: Like maybe you're I don't know, you're a lawyer and you don't want to be a lawyer anymore.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_00: You want to knit beanies for newborns.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_00: Where are you denying yourself?
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_00: Because ultimately, when you're denying yourself, you're rejecting your feminine essence.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_00: And when you're rejecting your feminine, well, you you can't have a cycle.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my god, I hear a snoring, but like Akasha is at the beach with her dog walker.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's coming through the vents.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_00: I know this is a side note, but like it sounds like Akasha snoring, but it must be like a dog like snoring over the vents in my building.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_00: Anyways, that's funny.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_00: Um, okay, and then the last couple things I just want to tie in in terms of like the energetic roots before we hop back to one last physical one is guilt and fear.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_00: If you are holding guilt and fear in your abdomen, again, this also goes back to if you're holding fear, the stress, you're not gonna be able to have a cycle because you're holding on to that and those energy centers will be blocked.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_00: So think about where do you are you operating from guilt?
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_00: Where are you operating from guilt or fear?
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: And how can you eliminate that?
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: All right, and one last thing I want to touch on when it comes to how to get your cycle back is if you've been on the pill, and perhaps um the pill you're coming off of it now and you haven't gotten your cycle back, because the pill prevents your body from making hormones involved in both ovulation and menstruation.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_00: So when you stop taking the pill, it can take time for your body to start producing these hormones again.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: However, it's also possible that there was an underlying cause developed during the time you were taking the cycle and you wouldn't experience any symptoms since the pill suppresses your body's natural hormone production and gives you that illusion of a perfect 28-day cycle.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_00: So, while yes, it can take, you know, a couple months or a few months to come back after being on the pill, you also want to think about the fact that it is possible that without the pill, you wouldn't have had a cycle or a regular one to begin with, and then look at those sources, right?
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_00: Like the not eating enough, um, hormones out of balance, over exercising, energetic, etc.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and also know that like PCOS can also be a root cause if you um don't have your cycle right now.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_00: PCOS is often like masked a lot of the time, or it's get like dismissed, etc.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_00: So and PCOS, I don't know how like I've treated hundreds and hundreds of women at PCOS.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_00: Go back and listen to the PCOS episode that I did, because there's a lot of like um tangible stuff to do in there, but that's gonna be kind of like a in terms of like how to get it back, you need to solve that root cause of like why it happened in the first place on a like a PCOS level, or if there was irregularities before you went on the pill, they're still there on the pill.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_00: The pill doesn't fix anything, it's just kind of a band-aid.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: Think of the pill like taking an advil for a headache that it doesn't actually make your headache go away, it just covers your symptoms.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_00: So making sure to work with someone like me um to work on the root cause to kind of help you get your cycle back because it can be overwhelming to do all of these things that I mentioned in one episode.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: I know that's why we have well-nourished, or if you want more of an intimate container, I do have a couple spots for a few one-on-ones if you want to become a one-on-one client.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_00: But with that being said, I hope this gave you insight as to how to get your cycle back.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_00: If you have any questions about how to get your period back or anything about that, definitely send me a DM.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_00: Um, check out my other episodes on hormones as well, so you guys can really start to understand it.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_00: And yeah, with that being said, don't forget that when you share um an episode of the podcast you on your stories, either on Instagram or something like that, um, and you tag me, you will be entered to win a$200 gift card.
• 19:13
