Why Is No One Talking About Infertility from 1,200 Calorie Diets?

Let’s call this what it is: a fertility crisis rooted in diet culture. This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest lies women have been sold—the 1,200-calorie “healthy” diet—and how it’s quietly contributing to infertility.

In this truth-bomb episode, we dive into:

  • Why 1,200 calories is toddler-level nutrition, not adult female fuel

  • How under-eating disrupts hormone production and shuts down ovulation

  • What Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA) really is—and why it’s so common 

  • Real-life client success: how Morgan went from overtraining + under-eating to ovulating and getting pregnant—naturally
