The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) describes the interaction between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal glands. It's essential for your menstrual cycle and if there is miscommunication between any area of this axis, you can lose your period! Stress can significantly disrupt your HPA axis because it causes an increase in cortisol in your body. In this episode, I cover everything that you need to know about the HPA axis and stress

If this communication is disrupted, it can cause you to lose your period!
