We have all heard of hormones have a huge impact on our bodies during pregnancy, from enabling a conception, maintaining a healthy pregnancy and triggering labour they are a fairly major part of any woman’s pregnancy journey. But delving into exactly what impact our hormones have in pregnancy is both fascinating and incredibly empowering so that is exactly what we are going to do today.

On this week’s episode I am going to be picking the brains of Lisa Falco. Lisa is a ground-breaking FemTech engineer, she was the Head of Data at one of the biggest FemTech companies in the world - Ava Women - and has spent her career developing algorithms to decipher the menstrual cycle and help women get pregnant faster.

Lisa’s career was inspired by her own personal and devastating experience of miscarriage and a desire to understand and empower women. Lisa is also an author and her book - Go Figure! The astonishing science of the female body" – which puts real data and scientific weight behind the mysteries of the reproductive cycle and the incredible science of the female body.
