148. New 2025 Dietary Guidelines: Will They Get Your Period Back?

In this episode of Eat More Carbs, Jenna and Reilly dive deep into the newly released 2025 Dietary Guidelines and discuss a critical question: Should female athletes in HA recovery actually follow them? While general health guidelines are designed for the average person, the needs of a female athlete working to restore her period are vastly different. Jenna and Reilly break down the recommendations that might actually be hindering or helping your hormonal health, the nuances of fueling for performance, and why fueling looks different when you’re working towards recovering your cycle.
