Dr. Naylor is a board-certified family physician, focused on preventive medicine and nutrition. As an osteopathic physician, she treats patients with a whole-person approach and has training in treating the body with hands-on techniques, called osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM). She became especially interested in fertility during the end of her residency training when she herself stopped hormonal contraception in an effort to get pregnant and didn't get a period. Almost 2 years later, she continues her journey to naturally regain a healthy menstrual cycle and reflects on how western medicine addresses (or doesn't address) this common issue.
I’m excited to talk with Dr. Naylor about how physicians are trained regarding hormonal contraceptives, and what her experience was like with fertility challenges since coming off the pill herself.

With the launch of my Fertility Boost Group Program in full swing, I decided to release a special bonus episode to share my experience of learning fertility awareness in a group environment and share the top 3 benefits of learning fertility awareness surrounded by women who are doing the same thing.
I was recently interviewed by a woman who is writing a book about female reproductive health, and one of the questions she asked me really stood out to me. She asked if fertility awareness is so straightforward and simple to learn, why would anyone need the help of an educator, and how could it possibly take 2 years of intensive training to learn to teach it? I thought about it and recognized that there are so many misconceptions about fertility awareness starting with the idea that since fertility awareness helps women to connect with their cycles and femininity in a natural way, that it should somehow be intuitive or "natural" to learn. I address this idea and many others in today's episode!
