| 11/5/25 | Ep 95: Stress, Missing Periods & Your Long-Term Health: Understanding HA with Dr. Chrisandra Shufelt of Mayo Clinic | If you’ve ever been told to “just go back on the pill” when you lost your period, or you’ve been dismissed with a misdiagnosis like “PCOS type D,” this episode is a must-listen.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 GuestDr. Chrisandra Shufelt, MD, MSChair, Division of General Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic JacksonvilleInternational researcher in women’s hormonal health, cardiovascular risk, and menopausePrincipal investigator on multiple studies examining FHA and long-term health outcomesResources & Research ParticipationDr. Shufelt and her team are actively recruiting for two important research studies:1.

I’m joined again by our functional fertility dietitian, Annabelle, to break down everything you need to know.In this episode: What the GI-MAP test is and what it measures (microbiome balance, pathogens, inflammation, digestion, immune markers, and more).Why gut health and hormones are inseparable—from estrogen detox to nutrient absorption.How digestive symptoms like bloating, constipation, and reflux can be early red flags of hormone imbalance.Client stories where uncovering gut issues (like H. pylori) helped restore fertility and support natural pregnancy.The surprising way gut imbalances may contribute to acne, skin flares, and unexplained infertility.Why only 10% of our clients need advanced gut testing to fix their digestive issuesLinks & Resources:What’s blocking your fertility?

| 8/24/25 | Ep 91: The Top Functional Tests for your Fertility Part 1: HTMA | This is part one of a three-part series on functional lab testing with our Functional Fertility Dietitian, Anabelle. Over the next few episodes, we’ll dive into the three main labs we use to help clients get to the root of:Hormone imbalancesFatigue and burnoutMissing or irregular cyclesFertility struggles and unexplained infertilityIn today’s episode, we’re starting with one of our favorite tests: the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA).What You’ll Learn in This Episode:Why HTMA is often the first test we run for clients who feel stuck in their fertility journey.How mineral patterns reveal your body’s ability to handle stress, produce energy, and support hormone balance.The three stages of stress (alarm, acute, and burnout) and how HTMA shows where your body is on that spectrum.Why even women who “eat really clean” may still be mineral deficient due to soil depletion, stress, or under-fueling.Real-life client stories where HTMA uncovered hidden burnout and helped guide targeted support—leading to restored fertility and pregnancy.How this simple, low-lift test offers insight into thyroid health, adrenal function, hydration, and overall resiliency.Why This Matters: Many women are told their labs look normal—yet they still feel exhausted, anxious, or struggle to get pregnant. HTMA helps uncover what’s going on beneath the surface by showing us the mineral imbalances that drive hormone and energy dysfunction. This can be both validating and empowering, giving you the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.Next Steps:We run HTMAs inside our Food Freedom Fertility Society as an add-on, and they’re included in our new Functional Fertility Package with Annabelle, which offers private coaching and personalized lab interpretation.👉 Curious if minerals are the missing link in your fertility journey?
