Periods, Poos & Pimples

Let's Feast with Paige - Part 1: Debunking & Diagnosing Hypothalamic Amenorrhea

Listen Later

Having Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA) can be an extremely gruelling journey that can last quite a few years; trust us we’ve seen it in our clients and Paige has personally been through the journey herself.

There’s unfortunately a lot of misconception as to what is the “right” approach to getting your period back and the truth is, there isn’t a blanket approach for everyone.
In this episode, we debunk so many myths around HA and give you the facts based off the research, our own personal experiences and our experiences working with clients 1:1.
In Part 1, we answer a lot of common questions including:

  • What is the diagnostic criteria for HA?
  • How does the diagnostic criteria differ to PCOS? 
  • Can you trigger PCOS in the process of HA recovery? 
  • What is physiologically happening with your hormone secretion and brain during HA?
  • What does body fat percentage have to do with it? (We’ll debunk this?)
  • How much weight do you need to put on to recover your period?
  • How much calories do you need to eat to recover your period?
  • How long will it take to get your period back? 


    • This is just Part 1, in Part 2 we go through so much more in relation to exercise, long term dangers of low estrogen, the role of herbal medicine, HA & fertility, other factors to consider with recovery, medical interventions and so much more.
