Hypothalamic Amenorrhoea

Hypothalamic Amenorrhoea

Hypothalamic amenorrhoea is a condition in which the body suppresses the production of the hormone oestrogen. This can lead to a wide range of problems, including absent periods, fertility problems, and an increased risk of brittle bones and heart disease.

FHA is usually related to a combination of factors, including psychological stress, excessive physical activity, and low body weight.

Women who are diagnosed with FHA are usually told to gain weight and stop exercising. A lot of women feel confused around how much to eat or what to eat to gain weight in a healthy way. Quitting exercise cold turkey can also be too stressful.

In addition to emotional challenges of bringing your period back, lots of women with FHA also have to contend with underlying digestive issues and food intolerances that may have contributed to the condition in the first place. For many women, these digestive problems can make the process of weight restoration much harder. This can lead to fatigue, food-related anxiety and further weight loss.

I will support you to overcome these obstacles by providing you with science-based information and individualised advice on diet and lifestyle. Together, we will identify the changes that are needed to improve your health and recover your periods. I also offer ongoing support and motivation, so you can stay on track even when things gets tough.

A Revolution in Client Consultations

I began offering digi-clinics back in 2016 alongside in-person appointments at a private hospital in Canary Wharf, London. The demand for digi-clinics grew for many reasons, including equality in accessibility, timing flexibility and being in the comfort of your own environment. I offer appointments using a selection of the most popular video-calling platforms including:

Zoom

Skype

Facetime

Programmes Tailored To You

Whether you are looking for a comprehensive programme or just a few sessions to get started, I am here to help you reach your goals. My programmes are designed for each individual client. Depending on a client’s needs, a programme may include a nutrition- only or a combined approach, for example some nutrition sessions alongside hypnotherapy, or psychology appointments. The duration of the programmes is usually between 8 and 24 weeks.

Consultation Structure

Initial
Whether you choose to book your appointments one by one or go for a package option, it all starts with a 1 - 1.5 hour comprehensive assessment to discuss your condition and how it is impacting on your life and determine your current nutrition status, dietary habits, challenges, and your personal health goals. From there, together we will create a road-map of your care, both personalised and practical to help you manage your symptoms, optimise your health and build healthy habits.

Follow Up
These appointments usually last up to 60 minutes and are there to review your progress with the goals that were set in the initial appointment and decide on the next course of action. They are also an opportunity to discuss any questions, challenges or concerns. You may have as few or as many follow up appointments as you feel necessary.
