Welcome to the Fertility Friday podcast, your source for information about the fertility

awareness method and all things fertility. I'm your host, Lisa Hendrickson Jack. I'm the author of the fifth vital

sign and the fertility awareness mastery charting journal. I'm a certified fertility awareness educator

and holistic reproductive health practitioner with nearly 20 years of experience teaching women

to connect to their fifth vital sign through menstrual cycle charting, balancing hormonal

health, and optimizing the menstrual

cycle without hormones. I'm outspoken about hormonal birth control and its impact on fertility

and overall health because you have the right to know how your body works and how artificial

and health because it's important to have healthy menstrual cycles regardless of whether or not

you want to have babies. I'm also a wife and mother of two beautiful boys. I know, I know,

I'm a busy girl, but I managed to fit it all in. This podcast is designed to empower you to
