In my first book, The Fifth Vital Sign, I argue that the menstrual cycle is an important vital sign

that we should be paying attention to. I argue that your menstrual cycle is important regardless

of whether or not you're actively trying to have babies now. And I also argue that charting your

cycle using fertility awareness method tools is an essential step in truly understanding what's happening

in your menstrual cycle. If you haven't ground a copy of the fifth vital sign, you can read the first

chapter for free over at the fifth vital sign book.com. And did you know that you can listen to the fifth

vital sign for free when you sign up for a 30-day trial with Audible, head over to

This is the Fertility Friday podcast, episode number 545.

In today's episode, we take a deep dive into endometriosis with Katie Edmonds, endometriosis author, educator, and nutritional therapist. She wrote heal endo, an anti-inflammatory approach

to healing from endometriosis and the four-week endometriosis diet plan. She lives in the

north shore of Kauai next to the biggest mahogany forest in the United States, fun fact, with her

loving husband and two miracle kiddos. She is absolutely passionate about helping women with endometriosis.

You can't cure endometriosis, but she believes with the correct approach, the body can heal in incredible ways.

So without further ado, let's go ahead and jump into today's episode with Katie.

And I'm so excited to be here today with Katie Edmonds, author of Heal Endo.

Welcome to the podcast.

I was just telling you, I've been a fan of yours for such a long time.

Yeah, for sure.
