Today's episode is the third in my hormone series and is with Lisa Hendrickson-Jack!
Lisa is a certified Fertility Awareness Educator and Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner who teachers women to chart their menstrual cycles for natural birth control, conception and monitoring overall health.
In this episode, you will learn about:
Lisa's journey in having period pain, history with hormonal contraceptives, and wanting to find a more natural solution to birth control
How Lisa started using the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) to track her menstrual cycle and learned she had a thyroid issue
More on how our menstrual cycle is more than just our period and why it's important to look at the whole cycle
The four different phases of your menstrual cycle - 1) follicular (or preovulatory), 2) ovulation, 3) luteal (or postovulatory) and 4) your period
Using FAM as a means of 1) natural birth control, 2) conceive and get pregnant and 3) learn about your health and body
How FAM can also help you develop body literacy through tracking your cervical mucus, basal body temperature, and cervical position
Why the Pill may not be the best solution for birth control or to regulate your period
The importance of tracking menstrual cycle even if your premenopause
The work Lisa does with her clients through her Fertility Awareness programs
