Hypothalamic Amenorrhea is a combination of three things
Any combination of these can lead to HA. Which is why someone that's anorexic can experience HA without exercising, or an athlete with a healthy relationship with food can also have HA. Every person is different as well, so some people can workout 7 days a week, twice a day, maintain a low body fat, and still not get HA. Others get it "more easily" (Not sure if that's the best wording?)
​
Have you recovered from HA from last year? By that, I mean, have you had three consecutive periods and are you still getting them on a regular basis? If not, then I'd suggest eating more, and keep exercise reduced. If you have recovered, the suggestion is to usually introduce exercise slowly. Start with 2 days a week. See how your period reacts (does your cycle length remain the same? etc), then slowly bump it up to 3-5 days a week, or whatever your plan is. Just make sure your period remains steady (if you really wanted to, you could also use OPK (ovulation predictor kits) to make sure your luteal phase (the length of time after you ovulate until your period) remains consistent. A lot of people see a shortening of their luteal phase if they introduce exercise too much/too quickly and that can signal that HA is close to coming back, which would be a sign to back off on the exercise)
And most importantly, EAT lots of food!

If you're really curious, I found the book "No Period. Now What?" By Dr. Nicola Rinaldi to be a super helpful resource!
I know this post is kind of old, but you should read “No Period, Now What?”. It discusses in depth the reasons you’re most likely missing your period, differences between PCOS and HA, and how to fix it. HA is super common in the female fitness world and often misdiagnosed as PCOS.
