WHAT IS A HEALTHY MENSTRUAL CYCLE?

Should we include the menstrual cycles as a vital sign? We say, Kale yeah!

The four main vital signs doctors routinely monitor include body temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, and blood pressure. They indicate the state of a patient’s essential body functions. Your menstrual cycle gives you unparalleled understanding of the incredible connection between your menstrual cycle and your overall health.

Tracking periods can be super helpful for birth control or conception. But it’s way beyond that. Keeping track of your period can tell a story about much more than your reproductive health.

Who better to speak with than our dear friend Lisa Hendrickson-Jack, author and brilliant Fertility Awareness Educator and Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner who teaches women to chart their menstrual cycles for natural birth control, conception, and monitoring overall health.

It’s time to talk about our periods openly without shame - without hesitation because it’s our birth right.
