This week we are diving deep into fertility awareness and menstrual cycles with the author of The Fifth Vital Sign, Lisa Hendrickson-Jack. Lisa and I both love helping women uncover the connection between menstrual cycle health, fertility, and overall health, and on today’s episode, we bust the myth that ovulation is only important when you are ready to conceive. Tune in to learn how cycle tracking and fertility awareness can empower you to take control not just of your fertility but of your overall health so you can keep living life on your terms. 
 
Aviva and Lisa discuss: 
 

The common myth that pregnancy can occur every day of the cycle 

Ovulation and the fertile window length, and signs and symptoms to help you track and understand your cycle 

Popular fertility awareness methods, their efficacy, and how to begin using tracking methods safely and effectively 

Emergency contraception methods, how they work, and information to help you choose the right option for you 

 

Lisa Hendrickson-Jack is a certified Fertility Awareness Educator and Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner who teaches women to chart their menstrual cycles for natural birth control, conception, and monitoring overall health. Lisa is the author of The Fifth Vital Sign and host of the Fertility Friday Podcast.
