119. THE SCIENCE: How Hypothalamic Amenorrhea Destroys Your Body

In this episode I address the question I get most often: "how do I stay motivated to recover my period?". It's easy to breeze through the negative impacts of HA without ever discussing the science of what TRULY is happening within and to your body: from weakening bones, to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, to infertility, to an aging brain, to less calcium absorption, to digestive distress, to early menopause, to depression and anxiety, to lower dopamine and so much more. This is the SCIENCE you need to stay motivated. If you enjoyed this episode, please share with a woman who needs it.
