  • 166. Think It's Just “Normal Teen Behavior”? Here’s the Truth Behind Missed Periods and Hormonal Disruption
    Jun 12 2025

    Think a missed period is just part of teen drama? What if it’s your first warning sign that your daughter’s health — and future fertility — are at risk?

    As a single parent, navigating the ups and downs of parenting teens and tweens is already overwhelming. But what if your daughter’s silence around her period, body image, or eating habits is hiding something deeper? In this episode of The Single Parent Reset Show, we explore how hormonal health, restrictive eating, and perfectionism intersect — and how they can impact your teen’s behavior, communication, and long-term wellbeing. If you’re trying to improve communication with your teen and understand the hidden signals behind their actions, this episode is a must.

    Learn the early warning signs of hormonal imbalance that most parents miss — even in “healthy” high-achieving girls.

    Discover how your relationship with food and body image might unknowingly shape your daughter’s mindset and behavior.

    Get clear, practical conversation starters and mindset shifts to improve communication and open healthy discussions around periods, eating, and wellness.

    Press play to learn how to support your daughter’s hormonal and emotional health — and become the confident, informed guide she needs as she navigates her tween and teen years.
