We\'re digging into fertility charting and what your period is telling you about your overall health.

Did you know that your menstrual cycle can give you a lot of information about your overall health?

When my period became very irregular in my early 20\\u2019s and then was really heavy, crampy, and later very light \\u2013 the first recommendation I received from my doctor was to go on the hormonal birth control pill.

I went on the pill for years and when I came off I was diagnosed with POF (not the case for everyone but huge healing opportunities were completely missed for me).

And when I ask the women who come to me who are struggling with infertility why did you go on the pill a high percentage tell me because their period was heavy, irregular, light or they didn\\u2019t have a period.

Your period is your fifth vital sign. What healing opportunities are you missing?

Today I\'m welcoming Brandy Buskow and Justine Altman back to the podcast.

Brandy and Justine are part of my team here at Fab Fertile. They are an integral part of our Couples Coaching program - which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception. If you are struggling with infertility...your body is desperately trying to tell you something...focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or if you do need to go to the fertility clinic it will improve your chances of success.

Brandy is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and Certified Transformational Health Coach and EFT Practitioner.

Justine is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. She was diagnosed with POCS and struggled with infertility but after taking a functional approach was able to have both her children naturally.

This episode is for you:

If you are not sure if you are ovulating, how to find your cervix or what cervical mucus really means.

You\\u2019ve used so many Ovulation Predictor Kits \\u2013 OPK\\u2019s that they now cause you so much stress - and you don\\u2019t even know if you\\u2019re using them correctly.
