#464: Today we’re going there (!) with Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner and Certified Fertility Awareness Educator, Carly Hartwig. Carly teaches women how to chart their menstrual cycles for pregnancy prevention, conception, or simply to understand their bodies better. She strongly advocates for informed consent regarding hormonal birth control.
We cover EVERYTHING when it comes to your menstrual cycle–from its connection to hormones and inflammation, to normalizing (and celebrating!) your period, to the truth about the birth control high-tech apps on the market. We discuss the power of body literacy, the impact of being disconnected from our bodies, nutrient depletion caused by birth control, the importance of informed consent when choosing a birth control method, and all the methods available. This episode will give you a new appreciation for your body (and a reason to celebrate once a month)!
