What will you learn today on The Hormone Genius with Guest Dr. Stephanie Kafie?
What devices and technology are available for women to track their fertility? What are the advantages and disadvantages of these devices?
What are natural signs of fertility that women can track and what are the advantages/disadvantages of these?
How can femtech be incorporated into natural family planning for avoiding or achieving pregnancy?
Dr. Kafie was kind enough to give additional information about femtech (see below), what devices are available, what the research is behind these methods and how they can be incorporated into NFP methods formally (such as Sympto-thermal or Marquette Method) or informally.
All you need to do is go to this link and you have access to all of the studies in this area of FemTech and NFP: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D4yzjDzainYgglgHbsNN82KpegDlBskA_kfeK0U2OV8/edit?tab=t.0
While on maternity leave in 2020, Dr. Kafie became the Founder and CEO of a virtual medical clinic called, “Totally Yours Family Medicine.” This clinic is focused on women’s health concerns, and on teaching couples Natural Family Planning. The clinic offers a natural, effective, and research-based option for couples looking to avoid or achieve pregnancy by tracking their cycles. Totally Yours Family Medicine is the only clinic in Ontario offering instruction in the Marquette Method of Natural Family Planning and is accessible by all residents of Ontario.
Dr. Kafie spends most of her time with her husband and three trilingual children in the Niagara, Ontario region. She is often running, biking, or dancing her way through the beautiful chaos of life with small children. She brings the perspective of a “Doctor Mom” to her work – with the medical training to guide families and the life experience to provide compassionate care.
