Most people only start thinking about ovulation when they’re thinking about conception, but a growing body of research suggests it’s one of the most overlooked markers of long-term health.

In this episode, I break down the research connecting ovulation to bone density + cardiovascular risk, including landmark studies on spinal bone loss, the elevated heart disease risk seen in individuals with PMOS/PCOS and chronic anovulation, and what happens when ovulation stops decades early.

I also get into why a “regular” period doesn’t always mean regular ovulation - and what that distinction actually means for your health over time.

Fertility apps predict your cycle using algorithms and past data. Fertility awareness teaches you to read your body in real time.

This episode unpacks the difference between apps that predict your cycle from past data and fertility awareness, which teaches you to observe your body in real time. If you've ever wondered whether your app has "got this handled," start here.

Is fertility awareness actually effective for birth control - or just a rebrand of the old “rhythm method”?

In this episode, we distinguish between the historical calendar-based rhythm method and the symptothermal method (what I teach at Earth Body) and get into some of the studies that support this method.
