Obviously, things were off, but after a few months of making minor changes and trying some supplements, I knew what I had to do. I had to go all in, but I was terrified. I also was about to leave NYC and do some solo travel for an indefinite period of time. Upon reflection, this was one of the absolute best things I could have done for my recovery, even though I wanted to leave for other reasons.

So, we know that in hypothalamic amenorrhea, the gonadotropin-releasing hormone... in a normal cycle, the gonadotropin-releasing hormone is released in pulses. Andrew: Right. I'm also very interested in what you said about prioritising, which is really interesting when you think about humans as an animal. We see for instance, and I'm going to talk in the Australian instance, kangaroos will expel even a foetus if famine occurs. Kangaroos can go for years without going into oestrus if the situation is dire in the environment, which will basically waste energy on progeny.
