Welcome to another episode of the Food, Freedom, and Fertility podcast. Caitlin and Sophia chat about the purpose of this podcast and why they stray away from controversial fertility and political topics.

When the podcast first launched it was at the beginning stages of the COVID pandemic. With shutdowns in place, vaccine pressure, isolation and mandatory work from home orders it was a difficult time for many.

The podcast has been releasing valuable information on PCOS, endometriosis, hypothalamic amenhorhea and more. Both Caitlin and Sophia chat about how important it is for them to be on your side and help you get those positive two lines despite the current political climate.

The two of them go over controversial topics they have discussed and ones that they feel does not matter in terms of trying to conceive, finding out what labs to order, advocating for your overall fertility health and eventually getting that big fat positive!

They hope this episode gives insight on why they started the podcast, what they want others to take away from the podcast and how they can help you with your fertility goals!

Welcome to another episode of the Food, Freedom, and Fertility podcast. Caitlin and Sophia chat in depth about Hypothalamic amenorrhea or called HA.

HA is a condition when menstruation stops due to a dysfunction in the hypothalamus. This can be from undereating and working out too much.

Caitlin said within her practice she sees a lot of PCOS clients who were diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome actually have HA. She also sees women who have PCOS go on a very restrictive diet and work out too much and develop HA.

It's important to add that women of all body sizes can develop HA and if you aren't going over what you are eating with an experienced practitioner this diagnosis may be missed!
