When stress disrupts your cycle Your Body, Your Story

Stress can live in our bodies and interrupt our menstrual cycle. That’s what happened to a Flo user named Alexandria. When her mother was diagnosed with dementia, Alexandria stepped in as a full-time caregiver. Grief, stress, and depression affected her mind and body, until she took control of her well-being. Dr. Margaret Howard, PhD, explains why our bodies respond to stress and how we can be resilient in the face of mental health challenges.
