Are you ready to uplevel your women's health practice? Welcome to the Fertility Friday Podcast! A podcast designed to empower you to use fertility awareness both personally and professionally. If you are a woman's health professional — and you’re not fully utilizing the menstrual cycle as a vital sign — it's time to change that right away! Through evidence-based literature reviews, engaging discussions, expert interviews, and compelling client stories, Lisa Hendrickson-Jack, FAE, HRHP covers everything from complex menstrual cycle chart interpretation and balancing hormones to overcoming fertility challenges and more. With over 20 years of experience teaching fertility awareness, Lisa combines her real-world expertise with the latest research to ensure you're fully equipped to support your clients. Lisa's first book, "The Fifth Vital Sign," describes the menstrual cycle as an important vital sign we should pay attention to. Her most recent book, "Real Food for Fertility" (co-authored with Lily Nichols, RDN), explores how a healthy menstrual cycle sets the stage for a healthy pregnancy. With well over 4 million downloads, Fertility Friday is the #1 source for information about fertility awareness and menstrual cycle health. All women deserve to understand how their bodies work, and if we wait for our education systems to do it we may be waiting forever. It's up to us to be the change we wish to see in the field of women's health. In other words, It's YOUR TURN to bring this essential information to your clients sooner rather than later — they need it now!

I have a special compilation episode for you today where I share interviews with two incredible health professionals.

Dr. Pizzorno is one of the world’s leading authorities on science-based natural medicine. In 2000, Dr. Pizzorno was appointed by President Clinton to the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy and by President Bush to the Medicare Coverage Advisory Committee in 2002. Dr. Pizzorno is the author or co-author of 10 books, including the internationally acclaimed Textbook of Natural Medicine and the best-selling Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine. He has also recently released his newest Book The Toxin Solution.

In our interview, Dr. Pizzorno talks about toxicity and why we need to be actively reducing our toxic load prior to pregnancy. How to know if you are toxic, and what to do to reduce your toxic load before you start having children. He also shares the true cause of insulin resistance, and spoiler alert it’s not sugar.

Dr. Klassen is a Naturopathic Doctor who works out of Calgary (Alberta). He teaches anatomy & physiology, cellular biology, and pathology at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in Calgary

In our interview, Dr. Klassen talks about liver function and the role of the liver in clearing both our natural estrogens and also synthetic exogenous estrogens and progestins. We talk about hormonal contraceptives, how they impact our endocrine function, and why long-term use is problematic. We also talk about digestion and the critical role digestion plays in maintaining endocrine balance and overall health.

Registration is now open for the next round of my 10 Week Fertility Awareness Mastery Group Program! We're starting the first week off of September 2017. Make sure to head over to the group program page and apply today to reserve your spot.

 Topics discussed in today's episode:
 
  • Why it's incredibly important for women to decrease their toxic load for a minimum of a year prior to pregnancy
  • Why nature prioritized the mother and dumps toxins directly into the baby during pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • How can we tell if we are toxic?
  • The genetic factors that determine how efficiently you are able to detoxify naturally
  • How to find a practitioner to support you in detoxifying prior to pregnancy
  • The importance of switching to an organic lifestyle to reduce your toxic exposure
  • The link between toxins and other issues like diabetes
  • Why sugar isn't the cause of diabetes
  • The connection between toxic exposure and  insulin resistance
  • What are the 3 main estrogens in the body and how are they different
  • Why it's critical to have a balance of estrogen and progesterone for healthy fertility
  • Why taking one hormone can affect the levels of a number of other hormones in the body
  • Why antibiotics lower the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives
  • Why women who take hormonal contraceptives have very low levels of their natural estrogen and progesterone
  • The connection between progesterone and thyroid hormones
  • How to support the body to clear both natural and synthetic hormones from the body
