Today, Lindsey sits down with Dr. Chrisandra Shufelt , Chair of General Internal Medicine at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville and a leading researcher in Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA) . Dr. Shufelt has spent decades studying how hormones, stress, metabolism, and lifestyle interact to influence women’s health—especially heart health. Together, they break down: What FHA actually is (spoiler: it’s not just “no period”). Why high-functioning, health-conscious women often miss the diagnosis. How low estrogen + chronic stress impacts bone density, cardiovascular function, inflammation, and brain signaling —even when you feel “fine.” Why one in every three women with FHA may already be showing early cardiovascular changes , even in their 20s. How ongoing research is working to improve diagnosis, treatment, and awareness—including two major new studies that need participant voices. This is a supportive, science-backed, empowering conversation that every active woman needs to hear. About Our Guest Dr. Chrisandra Shufelt, MD, MS Chair, Division of General Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville International researcher in women’s hormonal health, cardiovascular risk, and menopause Principal investigator on multiple studies examining FHA and long-term health outcomes Resources & Research Participation Dr. Shufelt and her team are actively recruiting for two important research studies: 1.
