In this episode, Dr. Ashley Burton takes a deep dive into Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA), a condition that often develops from the combination of overtraining and underfueling. We’ll explore why energy balance is crucial for restoring your cycle, highlight the importance of minerals (especially magnesium) in hormone regulation, and discuss how resistance training can protect bone health and support HA recovery.
If you’ve ever struggled with missing periods, low energy availability, or wondered how to balance fitness with fertility, this conversation will help you understand the physiology at play and the actionable steps to rebuild your foundation.
