101 - Your Period- the 5th Vital Sign - a podcast by Amy Medling

Like any other vital sign, your menstrual cycle is an indicator of your overall health. If your cycle is falling outside of normal parameters on a regular, consistent basis, then that is a sign of something very specific happening health wise. Tracking my cycles was actually how I found out that I had PCOS. Lisa Hendrickson-Jack, certified fertility educator and holistic reproductive health practitioner, explains how to monitor this critical vital sign and what your pattern might be telling you. Listen in (or read the transcript) as we discuss:

the menstrual cycle as a diagnostic tool
what a “normal cycle” looks like
how thyroid issues affect your cycle
What you should know if you’re on the pill
light exposure’s impact on your cycle
the lowdown on toxicity and menstrual products
