#54 What is the Fifth Vital Sign and Why it’s Essential for Fertility | Fertility Podcast Host and Author Lisa Hendrickson Jack
Lisa Hendrickson-Jack talks about vaginas a lot!
Lisa Hendrickson-Jack talks about vaginas a lot! She’s a certified Fertility Awareness Educator and Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner who teaches women to chart their menstrual cycles for natural birth control, conception, and monitoring overall health. In her new book The Fifth Vital Sign, Lisa debunks the myth that regular ovulation is only important when you want children, by recognizing the menstrual cycle as a vital sign.
Drawing heavily from the current scientific literature, Lisa presents an evidence-based approach to fertility awareness and menstrual cycle optimization. She hosts the Fertility Friday Podcast, a weekly radio show devoted to helping women connect to their fifth vital sign by uncovering the connection between menstrual cycle health, fertility, and overall health. With well over a million downloads, Fertility Friday is the #1 source for information about fertility awareness, and menstrual cycle health, connecting women around the world with their cycles and their fertility — something our education systems have consistently failed to do. When she’s not researching, writing, and interviewing health professionals, you’ll find her spending time with her husband and her two sons. To learn more, visit fertilityfriday.com.

#44 How the Fertility Journey can Become your Teacher w/ Fertility Health Coach Monica Cox
Monica is somewhat of a hippy & is a bit obsessed with real food.
Monica is somewhat of a hippy & is a bit obsessed with real food. Her clean eating lifestyle evolved slowly during her NINE year infertility journey. She spent six years searching for an answer to her unexplained infertility, which included never seeing a BFP and two failed IVFs.
She decided to make some dramatic diet and lifestyle changes to improve her fertility health and requested immune tests, even though the doctors told her she wasn’t a candidate for such testing. The results came back and she discovered she had High Natural Killers Cells. The answer to her unexplained infertility. With five embryos on ice she did three FETs with immune suppressing drugs, which resulted in two miscarriages and one beautiful baby boy.
Two months after all medical treatment was done and dusted, she found out the dramatic diet and lifestyle changes had paid off and she was pregnant naturally for the first time ever. Baby boy number two entered their family in March 2018. Monica is a stay at home mom, wife, Fertility Health Coach, author of Baby&Me, Podcast host The Infertile Diagnosis and creator of #gratedvegbrekkie She’s all about inspiring others to improve their physical and mental health on www.mymindfulme.com
