Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Awareness Month is September. This affects about 5% of women yet many don’t know they have it, and those who do know often are misguided about what it means. I’m here to debunk some of the myths and help get the truth out there.
Single, but want kids one day? Coupled, but not ready to take the plunge?
Here’s what you can do to make sure by the time you’re psychologically ready for kids, that you’re also physically ready for kids.
This Valentine’s Day I want you to take a moment to think about how you can show yourself more love in your daily life.
A huge part of my work is empowering people to truly understand how their bodies work, and I see this, and what often follows from it, as the best gift you can give yourself in life.
Since it’s the beginning of a new year, and I know a lot of you are making New Year’s resolutions, and I also know that a lot of resolutions are never kept, I want to help you figure out the best way to improve your health.
This is my last post of the year!

One of the amazing things about practicing the fertility awareness method is it can help identify and even fix some common causes of infertility.
The fact is that, sadly, many people who think they are infertile actually aren’t, and think they are in an unchangeable situation when they can actually do a lot to improve their chances of pregnancy. Here are some common situations where this can happen.
Do you know a heavy period is a sign of hormonal imbalance and it can be addressed naturally through nutrition and lifestyle?
Unfortunately many people don’t realize they have a period that is too heavy because the number of pads or tampons used each cycle isn’t something that’s usually discussed. Or, they think this is just they way their body works and they suffer through it. Read on to learn how heavy is too heavy and what you can do about it.
When I stop to think about it, really examine how our society is living, I am astounded by how dependent so many of us are on caffeine.
I know lots of people who don’t feel right in the morning without their cup of joe or can’t wake up without that boost. Did you know there are a ton of benefits to your body if you take a break from caffeine, including improved hormonal health?
A question I get asked a lot is, “Why should I work with a fertility awareness educator when I can learn by reading a book?”
I want to tell you that working with a fertility awareness educator is invaluable. And I don’t say this because I’m an educator, rather, I’m an educator because I truly believe it’s important for people to have that support. Working with an educator has a ton of benefits that you just can’t get when learning on your own.
Many people take the pill (or other hormonal birth control) for many years and only stop when they want to get pregnant. Unfortunately this has the potential to lead to a lot of stress and potentially unnecessary and expensive fertility treatments.
The fact is that for many people it can take several months, and upwards of a year (or more), to get regular cycles and fertility back after stopping hormonal birth control. So, what should you expect when coming off the pill?
