Having no period is becoming more and more common as people strive to achieve today’s ideals of “health.” The problem is that taking habits that can be healthy in moderation to an extreme can lead to no periods and a host of physical and mental complications that come along with the missing hormones.

About Nicola
Nicola explains the five factors in
hypothalamic amenorrhea.
Dr. Sykes has a PhD in computational biology from MIT. After graduating she worked for a biotechnology company while pursuing her dreams of a family, which were thwarted by a diagnosis of hypothalamic amenorrhea (no periods). She spent the next 18 months trying to conceive and immersed herself in research to learn how to recover from hypothalamic amenorrhea. Concurrently, she tried the medical route to pregnancy, with multiple doctor visits, injections, and ultrasounds resulting only in failure. Ultimately, she was able to achieve a natural pregnancy. Since that time, Dr. Sykes has shared her knowledge of the path to recovery, helping hundreds of others achieve their dreams of womanhood and pregnancy.
