As bodybuilders, we frequently test the boundaries on just how far we can push our body before it pushes back.
Spending an extended period of time on a restricted energy intake (calories consumed), whilst continuing to drive a high level of energy output through training, steps and cardio can eventually have a negative impact on overall health.
In the lead up to my second round of shows last year, I lost my menstrual cycle and it's taken me a good 8-10 months (and a lot of angst and worry) to start to restore it.
Although it's not often spoken about, I know I'm not the only athlete who has experienced a loss of cycle, so I hope that sharing my journey will bring more awareness to this and also encourage open discussion between athletes and coaches in prioritising recovery in the post-show period.
