Today we’re answering the following question from a listener:

“I have had amenorrhea for 4 1/2 years now. This was due to an eating disorder, but even when I regained all the weight back a year and one half ago it still did not come back. I am frustrated because I keep gaining weight and am so fat now. I am not over my bmi, but I am definitely not thin. I really need to lose this weight, but I don’t want to send extra stresses to my body. Is intermittent fasting safe for me to do at this point?”

If you relate to this question, you’ll want to listen to this episode.
