My top recommendation to women!

I've been a childbirth educator and birth doula since 10 years and am beyond thrilled to find this resource for my clients. This book is a must-read for anyone who ovulates/menstruates!!! If that's you, please please read this book. Whether you're trying not to conceive, trying to conceive, or just wanting to increase body awareness and wisdom so you can become your own best health detective, this is the BEST book for any and all of that.

A must read for healthcare professionals!

A wealth of research and knowledge was poured into this book! As a Registered Nurse working in women’s health education, I firmly believe in advocacy… and The Fifth Vital Sign is packed with firm evidence- and clinical-based information. This book gives the power back to women and menstruators to advocate for their health! I recommend it to all of my clients interested in knowing their TRUE options in birth control and health optimization.

Every girl should be taught this before she becomes a woman!

The author did a wonderful job of making this subject matter relatable and easy to understand.

A must read for every biological female!

This is such an important book. I wish I had been given it on my 13th birthday. Every woman should be taught this information !

Thank you!!!

I chose this book for the vast and researched information following listening to Lisa’s Fertility Fridays podcast. It did not disappoint. It filled in the gaps I needed to understand my body and reduced the fear about being older trying to conceive. Between the podcast and the book it’s been 2.5 months eating healthy (even liver 😉) and today I got my first positive pregnancy test. I know it’s early but now I believe it’s possible for me to become pregnant where before I doubted it. This book is for people who are willing to listen to the research, track signs and symptoms, and change their eating habits. Again, thank you!
