Non-Typical HA - Undernourishment and High Stress in Women of Normal Body Size

Welcome to another episode of the Food, Freedom, and Fertility podcast. Caitlin and Sophia chat in depth about Hypothalamic amenorrhea or called HA. HA is a condition when menstruation stops due to a dysfunction in the hypothalamus. This can be from undereating and working out too much. Caitlin said within her practice she sees a lot of PCOS clients who were diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome actually have HA. She also sees women who have PCOS go on a very restrictive diet and work out too much and develop HA. It's important to add that women of all body sizes can develop HA and if you aren't going over what you are eating with an experienced practitioner this diagnosis may be missed! This episode is one to watch on Youtube if you can. That way you can follow along with Caitlin and Sophia as they chat about how to avoid HA, what warning signs to look for if you believe you might have HA and how to reverse it.
