Ep 21: Fertility Awareness Methods
SPECIAL EPISODE!! No practice bulletin or committee opinion this time. Instead, I interviewed Lisa Hendrickson-Jack, the author of "The Fifth Vital Sign" about fertility awareness methods. This is an important part of women's health practice that you probably didn't learn in residency, yet I see it as a critical part of OB/GYN practice. We'll cover: - cervical mucus, basal body temperature, and cervical position fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle - educating women on becoming aware of these things - utilizing fertility awareness for contraception and fertility - how abnormalities in the menstrual cycle reflect deeper-seated medical issues ...and much more! Lisa's website, book, podcast, Instagram, and Twitter. SHOW NOTES Theme music by my main amigo, Evan Handyside
