Hypothalamic amenorrhea (aka: not having a period), is so much more common than many of us realize. While being lean and fit is a good thing, if women under eat and overexercise for too long, it can have a negative effect in the body in many ways-especially when it comes to our cycle. I have gone through HA twice; the first for 4 years and the second for 10 months. In this episode, I discuss what I did to get my period back each time. I want to caveat this by saying this is my story and I worked closely with my doctor. What worked for me won't necessarily work for you, but you may be able to gain some personal insight. My advice does not replace that of your doctor and this is not a medical podcast-this is my story.
If you are going through HA, please seek care from your physician.
