310: Have a Missing Period? HA vs PCOS

There are a variety of reasons secondary amenorrhea (a missing period for 3+ months) can occur, but the two most common reasons are PCOS and hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA).

 

In today’s podcast, we will walk through the lab work and symptoms of both HA and PCOS, to help you understand the similarities and differences between these two common hormone conditions.

 

If you have a missing or irregular cycle, I would HIGHLY recommend that you do investigative work, order more lab work with your doctor and talk to them about your symptoms, even consider a DUTCH test, so that you have a plan tailored to you and your needs. These conditions are very different yet have a lot of overlap!

 

Need help getting your period back? We have a few spots left to work with us for anti-diet, gentle nutrition support for HA and PCOS at our virtual practice. Our online program specifically for HA recovery, Get Your Period Back Playbook, will reopen for enrollment in March 2022.

 

Today’s episode is brought to you by our signature program, Food and Body Peace Playbook (FBPP). FBPP is an 8 week online course & group coaching program that will help you build lasting food freedom, better body image & sustainable health habits that stick.

 

We will be offering a Black Friday discount and special bonus offer for our January enrollment. That means you can start off 2022 making the decision to say NO to diets that don’t work and YES to intuitive eating and a lifetime of treating your body well.
