Kelly is a former division I collegiate volleyball player. She finished medical school in June of 2022 and matched for her dream program for residency in emergency medicine. 

As a previous athlete, Kelly came from a lifestyle where exercise was part of her daily routine. As prep for her wedding Kelly continued to exercise at a high level while engaging in dieting. This led to weight loss and ultimately the loss of her period.

After going off my birth control last November she realized she needed help. She joined the FFF Society over the summer and got her period back in just 5 weeks! Now Kelly is having regular ovulatory cycles. As a medical doctor, she’s passionate about women’s health and is excited to share her story as well as some  tips for talking to your doctor about period loss.
