December 18, 2025When Periods Pause: Understanding Hypothalamic Amenorrhea with The Period Nutritionist Cynthia Donovan (Ep. 52)
In this episode of The Med Edit Podcast, Dr. Jessica Gray and Dr. Cari Sorrell shine a light on a condition that affects countless women — but is often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or dismissed entirely: Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA).
HA occurs when the brain senses that the body isn’t in a safe or nourished enough state to sustain a menstrual cycle. It accounts for nearly 30% of secondary amenorrhea in reproductive-age women, yet many don’t realize their missing period is a medical red flag, not an inconvenience.
To break it all down, we’re joined by Cynthia Donovan, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Health Coach, founder of Recipe for a Period, and host of The Period Recovery Podcast. Known online as The Period Nutritionist, Cynthia specializes in helping women restore their periods through nutrition, mindset, and sustainable lifestyle changes.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
1️⃣ What Hypothalamic Amenorrhea Is
How the hypothalamus controls reproduction
Why periods stop when the brain perceives stress or energy deficiency
Common misconceptions (no — this isn’t an “ovary problem”)
2️⃣ What Causes HA
Low energy availability (undereating, overtraining, or both)
Psychological stress, burnout, chronic pressure
Perfectionism and “wellness culture” influences
Why body size alone does not determine who gets HA
3️⃣ HA vs. PCOS — What’s the Difference?
Why missing periods should never be ignored
How to distinguish between two commonly confused conditions
Why identifying the root cause is essential for long-term health
4️⃣ Health Consequences of HA
Missing your period affects far more than fertility. Cynthia highlights risks like:
Bone loss and osteoporosis
Low hormone levels
Metabolic changes
Thyroid disruption
Mood and energy impacts
5️⃣ The Path to Recovery
Increasing energy intake
Reducing high-intensity exercise
Rest and nervous system regulation
Breaking perfectionistic or restrictive habits
How to “redefine health” outside of diet culture
6️⃣ What Period Recovery Looks Like
Cynthia shares:
Nutrition strategies for restoring a healthy cycle
Day-to-day adjustments clients make
What realistic timelines look like
How her programs support women through the process
7️⃣ Fact or Mis(information)
Rapid-fire myth-busting on:
“Losing your period is normal if you’re fit.”
“Only underweight women get HA.”
“Your period returns immediately once you eat more.”
“HA only impacts reproductive health.”

November 20, 2025Tiny Beginnings: How Medicine Saves the Tiniest Lives (Ep.50)
Premature birth is one of the toughest starts a newborn can face — and one of the greatest success stories in modern medicine. In honor of Prematurity Awareness Month, Dr. Jessica Gray and Dr. Cari Sorrell explore the science, survival, and humanity behind preterm birth with expert neonatologist Dr. Jennifer Palarczyk, faculty member at UT Health San Antonio.
With 1 in 10 babies worldwide born too early, this episode sheds light on the causes, risks, groundbreaking advancements, and the incredible resilience of these tiny fighters.
What Prematurity Really Means
The medical definition of preterm birth (before 37 weeks)
Categories: late preterm, very preterm, and extremely preterm
Why every week in the womb matters for lung, brain, and temperature regulation development
Rising prematurity rates and what’s driving the increase
Why Babies Come Early
Known medical causes: infections, high blood pressure, preeclampsia, multiples
Nearly 50% of cases have no clear cause (“spontaneous preterm labor”)
Maternal health factors, prenatal care access, chronic stress, and systemic inequities
Why Black women face disproportionately higher preterm birth rates
Inside the NICU
A behind-the-scenes look into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit — where micro-preemies weighing barely a pound fight for survival.
Dr. Palarczyk breaks down:
Surfactant therapy and why it changed neonatal survival forever
How incubators mimic the womb
Kangaroo care and the emotional side of NICU parenting
The stunning statistic: Babies born at 26 weeks now survive at 86% in the U.S.
Breakthroughs in Neonatal Medicine
Synthetic surfactant therapy and lung development
Incubator evolution (including their bizarre beginnings at Coney Island sideshows!)
The promise of artificial wombs
The crucial role of human donor milk
After the NICU: What Life Looks Like
Short-term risks discussed:
RDS, apnea, hypoglycemia, NEC, IVH, infection risk, jaundice
Long-term considerations:
Motor and language delays
Cerebral palsy
Chronic lung disease
Sensory impairments
Higher adulthood risk of hypertension, diabetes, & heart disease
Yet — the majority of premature infants go on to live healthy, normal lives.
Why This Episode Matters
Premature birth is emotional. Complex. Full of fear and hope. This episode honors families, NICU staff, and the incredible resilience of premature babies — while highlighting the science that saves lives every day.

November 13, 2025Filtering the Facts: Understanding Chronic Kidney Disease and Polycystic Kidney Disease (Ep.49)
This week on The Med Edit Podcast, Dr. Jessica Gray and Dr. Cari Sorrell tackle one of medicine’s most overlooked yet widespread health issues: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Affecting roughly 1 in 7 adults in the U.S., CKD is a silent epidemic — often undetected until it reaches advanced stages.
To help separate myth from medicine, they’re joined by Dr. Ashley Garcia-Everett, a board-certified nephrologist, Associate Professor at UT Health San Antonio, and Medical Director at one of University Hospital’s dialysis centers. Together, they break down what kidney disease actually is, how it develops, and what you can do to protect your kidneys long before symptoms start.
Later in the episode, the doctors dive into Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) — one of the most common inherited kidney disorders — exploring how genetics, screening, and new therapies like tolvaptan are changing outcomes for families affected by the disease.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:

How kidneys act as your body’s filters — and what happens when they start to fail
Why diabetes and high blood pressure account for 2/3 of CKD cases
The 5 stages of kidney disease and how eGFR testing works
Prevention and Early Detection
What symptoms to look for (and why most people miss them)
The simple blood and urine tests that can catch CKD early
How lifestyle changes — like managing blood sugar and blood pressure — can slow progression
Nutrition & Lifestyle
What a “kidney-friendly diet” looks like
Common habits that harm kidney function — including overusing NSAIDs
Why staying hydrated in moderation matters
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)
The difference between autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive PKD
How cysts form and why family history is key to early screening
The latest treatments, including tolvaptan, and when dialysis or transplant may become necessary
Myth-Busting Segment Highlights
“Just drink more water and your kidneys will be fine.”
“Only older people get kidney disease.”
“You’ll always know if something’s wrong.” .
“Kidney teas can prevent or reverse CKD.”
Resources Mentioned

October 30, 2025Cryptic Conditions: Some Diagnoses Are Stranger Than Fiction (Ep. 48)
This Halloween, The Med Edit Podcast brings you a spine-tingling medical special!
Join Dr. Jessica Gray and Dr. Cari Sorrell as they uncover the eerie side of evidence-based medicine — real-life conditions that inspired some of the world’s most famous myths.
From “vampires” and “werewolves” to “corpses that rise again,” these cases prove that truth can be far stranger (and scarier) than fiction.
In This Episode, We Cover:
Case 1: The Woman Who Couldn’t Step Into the Light
A modern-day “vampire”? Discover the truth behind porphyria, a rare metabolic disorder that once inspired centuries of blood-drinking folklore.
Case 2: The Corpse That Moved
A 91-year-old woman declared dead suddenly woke up in a morgue — all thanks to accidental hypothermia and the body’s shocking ability to survive extreme cold.
Case 3: When the Body Turns Against You
Meet a teenager “allergic” to water. Aquagenic urticaria is so rare that fewer than 50 cases exist worldwide — and every drop feels like fire.
Case 4: The Man of the Woods
The “werewolf” of Renaissance Europe wasn’t a monster — he had hypertrichosis, a rare genetic condition that causes excessive hair growth across the entire body.
AND MORE!
Why You’ll Love This Episode:
It’s spooky and smart — medical mysteries that sound like horror stories but are grounded in science.
Perfect for Halloween or anyone fascinated by the strange, rare, and unbelievable in medicine.
Real lessons in diagnosis, physiology, and how folklore and fear once filled the gaps before modern medicine.
Resources Mentioned:
Mayo Clinic: Porphyria Overview
Johns Hopkins: Therapeutic Hypothermia After Cardiac Arrest
Allergy & Asthma Network: Aquagenic Urticaria
USA Today: The Real “Werewolf Syndrome” Outbreak
Key Takeaways:
Sometimes, medical conditions create legends.
The line between myth and medicine is thinner than you think.
Always rewarm before you pronounce — and never underestimate the human body’s resilience.
