Summary
This study looked at how diet and exercise changes affect hormones and menstrual cycles in healthy women aged 18-28. Participants followed special diets and exercise programs while researchers measured hormone levels. The goal was to better understand a condition called functional hypothalamic amenorrhea, where periods stop temporarily due to the brain not directing the reproductive system properly.
