This YouTube clip (by Robert Whitfield MD) discusses how the body prioritizes survival over fertility: chronic stress raises cortisol, which suppresses progesterone leading to early menstrual/menopausal changes and infertility in younger women. The speaker notes clinical observations of low progesterone and high cortisol in patients presenting with early reproductive nursing (ERN)/early menopause-like symptoms.
