Fertility Friday | Fertility Awareness Mastery for Women's Health Professionals

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!

In today’s episode Teal shares her birth control journey from one type to another until she finally discovered fertility awareness cycle charting.

In today’s episode Melissa shares her experience in the FAMM program, and how it has impacted her physical therapy practice.

Dr. Melissa Thompson is a board-certified Doctor of Physical Therapy with a specialty certification in Manual Therapy, which is a tool for hands on treatment. She is also a pelvic health specialist with an advanced certification in Fertility Awareness (as a certified FAMM practitioner).

She helps women connect their menstrual cycle health to their pelvic health so they can heal pelvic pain, relieve bladder issues, and take charge of their fertility. She has established a holistic "birth center" style clinic from fertility all the way to postpartum. She starts with you as you are planning your family, and you become part of their family as you stay with the clinic through your whole journey into postpartum.

Melissa believes every person deserves a head-to-toe assessment for your pelvic and fertility concerns. Holistic health means that instead of looking at one body part, we look at the whole body to find all of the contributing factors to your problems. This creates lasting healing.

She earned her bachelor's degree at LSU, a master's degree in Pharmacology at LSU Health Sciences Center. From there, and her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. She currently practices in south Louisiana.
