Non-Diet Yogi
Non-Diet Yogi explores and dismantles the world of #BigWellness, where yoga, spirituality, fitness, diet culture, white supremacy and toxic female entrepreneurship collide in a dizzying spectacle of goji berries and designer mala beads.This podcast is for you if you - love yoga, but don’t always love yoga culture - wish to form a deeper connection with your body and with the natural world around you, minus the wellness wankery - are tired of the classism, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, fat phobia and other threads of white supremacy woven throughout #BigWellness. Hosted by Casey Conroy, non-diet dietitian, naturopath in training, and yoga teacher.

Episode 18
Restrictive eating is a major pain, especially when it causes you to lose your period. Hypothalamic Amenorrhoea (HA) leads to infertility but also a bunch of other lesser known issues. Anti-diet naturopath Phoebe Jobson and I talk all things HA - a condition close to both our hearts as we each have experienced and recovered from this condition.
In this episode:
- What is HA? Plus some signs, symptoms, and accompanying issues (short and long term)
- All about the food piece – how much, how often, and whether calorie counting to ensure minimum intakes helps or hinders (hint: it depends!)
- Why potatoes are not the devil (and carbs may actually be your secret weapon)
- Guidelines on exercise in HA recovery
- Why rest rocks
- The importance of seeing a psychologist / psychotherapist / counsellor as part of your team
- Tips on dealing with diet mentality and diet culture
- Busting some common HA myths
- Partial vs full recovery
- The problem with skipping the nutritional rehabilitation part of healing from HA and jumping straight to herbs, fertility medications and/or injectables
- Body appreciation
