Hypothalamic Amenorrhea: Optimizing Nutrition to Restore the Menstrual Cycle
$75.00
Webinar Details
Hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) is a condition that disrupts hormonal balance, affecting not only the menstrual cycle but also overall health. While a missing period (amenorrhea) defines this condition, this is actually the last step in a cascade of hormonal disruptions. What exactly is HA, and how does it differ from other types of amenorrhea? Why does it occur, who is at risk, and what are the warning signs? While the causes and recovery steps for HA may seem clear-cut, the reality is much more complex than simply replenishing calories, especially in clients who are planning to conceive in the future. This webinar explores these questions and more — and presents a comprehensive approach to both preventing and managing HA effectively.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- What is hypothalamic amenorrhea and how does it differ from other types of amenorrhea?
- Physiological function of the hypothalamic pituitary ovarian (HPO) axis
- The 3 major causes of hypothalamic amenorrhea (and how they can be interrelated)
- Why hypothalamic amenorrhea should be considered on a spectrum and how to spot early warning signs of HPO axis dysfunction
- How HA can impact overall health (beyond just reproductive function and bone health)
- Lab tests & nutritional assessment
- Clinical management of HA, with a special emphasis on nutritional and lifestyle interventions to restore the menstrual cycle (and why the conventional nutrition approach does not always provide long term resolution)
- Tips for troubleshooting persistent cases
Length: 90 minutes
Cost: $75
