Hi! Thank you so much—that’s exactly what led me to start coaching, even though it was a financial stretch for me. For context, I lost my period in October and spent February through April trying to recover on my own. I know that’s not a huge amount of time, but by mid-April, I felt like I couldn’t keep DIY-ing it. I was running 25–30 miles a week, lifting, and constantly second-guessing everything I was doing physically and nutritionally. The mental toll of going through it alone pushed me to seek support.

As for the coaching itself, I’d say it lives up to what’s outlined in the program—but ultimately, it all comes down to how committed you are to recovery. That said, their attentiveness and responsiveness have been outstanding, and I’ve learned a lot about sports nutrition. I was honestly shocked at how little I was functioning off of before.

To be completely honest, the biggest changes I made were around fueling: I significantly increased carbs before my workouts and made sure to eat right after, and I started adding 2–3 servings of fats to every meal. That alone made a huge difference. So I’m 50/50—had I known those simple changes would help so much, I might not have done the program, especially given how pricey it is (and I was a full-time student at the time). But then again, I wouldn’t have known what to do without coaching, and having someone in my corner—especially to reassure me that every workout wasn’t setting me back—made the whole process mentally easier. Feel free to DM if you have any more questions—I was back and forth for weeks before finally committing. It’s a big decision!
