In this episode, Cynthia welcomes guest Greta Jarvis to discuss the challenges and misconceptions they've experienced surrounding Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA) in both athletes and active women. They are dedicated to education and advocacy for athletes, coaches, and parents to give as much healthy support as possible to girls and women of all ages. Cynthia and Greta explore the broader cultural issues related to body image including doctor visits, athlete and coach dynamics, and the vital importance of regular periods. They also talk about the need for systemic change in how we view health and athleticism.
