#81: Your Cycle: Using the Fifth Vital Sign as Birth Control with Lisa Hendrickson-Jack

October 09, 2024 • Season 6 • Episode 81

In this episode, Dr. Leah interviews Lisa Hendrickson-Jack, author of The Fifth Vital Sign and co-author of Real Food for Fertility. They talk all about our monthly cycles, how they are considered our fifth vital sign, and how we can use them as a form of birth control, before and even after pregnancy. We also discuss how cycle tracking and the fertility awareness method is a great choice to prevent pregnancy and help you conceive when you are ready, without the side effects or transition time of hormonal contraceptives.
