learn your body

Every woman is invited to understand the amazing and beautiful design of her body! The impact and effects of our naturally fluctuating hormones and important phases of a woman’s cycle are enlightening and fascinating.

Once women recognize the key signs of their fertility, they begin to grasp how their bodies communicate with them. With this knowledge, women can develop routines in sync with their cycles to be more vibrant, creative, productive, and confident.

In a statement endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommended that young girls and adolescents start following signs of their fertility by charting their menstrual cycle. The article notes, “By including this information with the other vital signs within the Review of Systems and History of Present Illness, clinicians emphasize the important role of menstrual patterns in reflecting overall health status.” The letter also sees charting as the necessary first step in treating menstrual abnormalities.
