A book every girl and woman should read
Lisa managed to digest the last century of material on fertility and the “period” and it is the best knowledge a young or any woman can have. The fertility awareness and all other insights in the book, like how to identify health problems through your chart, should be mainstream- every parent, school and gp should know about it. She bravely challenges the misconception about the safety of the pill, the gaslighting of women by medical practitioners. The book is like a bible on fertility health. It is a must have for any women trying to avoid or achieve pregnancy, but also to be... healthy! I salute Lisa for her determination to change the field of women care and empower women to know and listen to their body. The Fertility Friday podcast brought to us this incredible book that should be translated in all languages.

Must read!
All women should read it and girls be taught about it early on. We need increased knowledge on this sphere and even more importantly - appreciation! This book is a great step forward.

Empowering, engaging, life-changing
Thank you Lisa Hendrickson-Jack, thank you, thank you, thank you. The dedication to research based knowledge conveys women have been denied vital education. This book provides women with accessible methods of redefining liberation both mentally and physically through fertility awareness.

Best Book I've Read
So glad I came across this book. It's very information-dense so it did take me a while to get through but was definitely worth it! I can honestly say that it's been life changing learning about my own cycle, fertility and how the female body functions. Will be recommending this book to everyone I know

Hit and miss
There is some good information in here, but after the first couple of chapters you have to wade through quite a big chunk of the author promoting steaming your vagina and other non-factual woo. She's also obsessed with eating organ meat and spends entire chapters telling you to do so. Good info mixed with pseudoscience, so think critically with what's in here.
