Description

Shannon Leach was a collegiate soccer player, Boston marathon runner, and overall active woman who lost her period as a junior in college. Most doctors said "you're an athlete, that's just what happens." After 20 years of hypothalamic amenorrhea (aka no periods), infertility, and tanked hormones, she finally found healing. She had her first period just a few months ago, and she's here today to share her story!
