Ep 147: Understanding Hypothalamic Amenorrhea with McKenzie Caldwell, MPH, RDN
Why is the menstrual cycle important, and How does nutrition tie into the topic of women's health?
Today, Mackenzie Caldwell is joining us to talk about hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), a condition that she often treats in her dietetic practice, This condition is associated with the cessation of a woman's menstrual cycle, often caused by lack of proper nutrition, overexercising, excessive stress, etc.
Even if you don't plan to get pregnant anytime soon, you don't want to miss today's episode because we're talking about how seeking treatment for HA and getting your period back can not only allow you to regain your fertility but also protect your health and well-being in so many different ways.
