7: In this episode, I caught up with my friend, Pegah Esmaili, former fitness instructor, personal trainer, nutrition guru and influencer. Pegah is a California native and her active lifestyle reflects that. Getting into the fitness industry around 17, Pegah struggled with over-exercising and under-eating, which also led to her losing her period.

She is very open about her struggles with orthorexia and Hypothalamic Amenorrhea — better known as HA.

In this episode, we cover signs of orthorexia, overcoming body image issues, gaining weight, healing HA — essentially getting your period back — and more about how her faith played a role in shifting her perspective.

Connect with Pegah on Instagram and her website.
