Ep. 50/Leading the Way with HA Diagnosis & Research with Dr. Christiana Shufelt

Written By Cynthia Donovan
 

Show Notes:

Welcome to a very special episode of the Period Recovery Podcast!

Dr. Shufelt is leading the way when it comes to hypothalamic amenorrhea research! Dr. Shufelt is the Chair of the Division of General Internal Medicine at Mayo Clinic in Florida. If you want to know the most updated information when it comes to HA, this is a must listen episode! 

We talk about it all today, including:

  • HA is underreported, understudied, and undertreated, but it is much more common than we believe

  • PCOS & HA 

  • AMH levels & how they relate to missing periods 

  • You should ask your doctors many important questions to get the answers you need (if they aren’t asking you the right questions) 

  • Since stress is such a big factor when it comes to HA, how we internalize and take on stress is important to recognize how it could prevent your period from returning
