9 - The HA Series Pt. 1: What Even Is Hypothalamic Amenorrhea?

If your period has gone missing, or has never been quite right, this episode is the starting point. Hypothalamic Amenorrhea is one of the most common and most misunderstood causes of missing periods in women, and most of us have never even heard of it.

In Part 1 of the HA Series I'm breaking down what HA actually is, what's happening in your body when it occurs, and what recovery looks like, from the inside out. No medical jargon, just real information that I wish someone had given me a long time ago.

We cover:

  • What hypothalamic amenorrhea actually is and how it works
  • The three main drivers and why they rarely exist in isolation
  • What's happening hormonally when your period disappears
  • Who gets HA (and why it's not always who you'd expect)
  • How to reverse it and what recovery looks like internally and externally
  • What else you need to know, including common misdiagnoses and why the pill isn't a fix
