Happy Podcast-aversary to Fertility Friday! (Yay!) The Fertility Friday podcast has been going strong for 4 years. I can barely believe it because it certainly doesn’t feel like it’s been that long. The saying “time flies when you’re having fun” definitely applies here!

In today’s episode, I share my top takeaways from 2018. I often think of my years in themes, and several themes came up for me this year. I call out the healthcare system, do a bit of pill-bashing, and discuss where feminism fits into it all leaving you with a jam-packed and informative episode you won’t want to miss!

Today’s episode is also sponsored by my 10 Week Fertility Awareness Mastery Group Program! Gain confidence charting your cycles, and gain deep insights into the connection between your health, your fertility, and your cycles. We start on January 22nd, 2019. Will you be joining us?

Dr. Prior is a Professor of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the University of British Columbia working on women’s health. She studies menstrual cycles, the effects of ovulation and its disturbances on women’s later life osteoporotic fracture, heart attack, and breast cancer risks. She is the British Columbia Center Director of the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study (CaMos), a 20-year prospective 9-centre population-based bone and general health study and the Scientific Director and Founder of the Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research.

I first interviewed Dr. Prior back in episode 55, so make sure to take a listen if you haven’t heard it before. In today’s episode we’re talking about the important role of progesterone (and regular ovulation) for overall health, beyond your ability to procreate!
