304: She Tried Everything... Except What Actually Worked – Gwyn Drabek’s HA Recovery Story

In this episode, Ashley sits down with Gwyn Drabek to discuss her powerful journey through hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) recovery. Like so many women, Gwyn was doing all the right things—or so she thought. She tried every approach to regain her period except the one that actually worked: eating more and resting.From veganism to juice cleanses, fasting, functional medicine, and endless supplements, Gwyn was searching for a solution that wouldn’t require her to change her "healthy" lifestyle. But once she finally let go of restriction and embraced true nourishment, her body responded.Now, as a soon-to-be dietitian, Gwyn’s experience has completely reshaped how she views health and nutrition. No more cutting out foods, striving for perfection, or obsessing over "clean eating." Instead, she’s on a mission to help others find balance in a world dominated by diet culture.You can connect with Gwyn here:https://www.instagram.com/a.little.view/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/itsmishigarcia/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

302: The Truth About Biohacking & HA Recovery: Recovery story w/Kirsten Flanagan

In this episode, Ashley sits down with her past client, a former queen of biohacking, who spent 11 years chasing every optimization trick in the book—keto, carnivore, endless supplements, and every functional test imaginable. She did everything except the one thing that actually mattered: nourishing her body.Like so many women, she thought she was doing everything “right.” But the truth? Health isn’t about biohacking or trying to out smart your body—it’s about the foundations. No amount of fasting, testing, or supplementation can replace what your body actually needs: enough food, enough rest, and true balance.If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still struggling, this episode is for you. It’s time to see past the smoke and mirrors and reclaim real health.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/itsmishigarcia/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
