Podcasts about natural birth control

We tend to think of women's health as it relates to getting pregnant, not physical health or even health later on in life, but Caitlin and Laura sit down to discuss how estrogen impacts everything from bone health to cognitive function, and why it's vital for both reproductive and overall well-being. We talk about natural ways to improve estrogen levels (like weight-bearing exercises) and how maintaining healthy estrogen levels can protect us well into our later years. Whether you're in your 20s or approaching menopause, this episode offers valuable information on how to support your health through every stage of life.  NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences. Our guest, Laura Ducote, is a Family Nurse Practitioner with training in NaProTechnology and is currently a FertilityCare Practitioner at Woven Natural Fertility Care. Ways to connect and work with Laura:Work with Laura as a Fertility Care PractitionerWork with Laura as a Nurse PractitionerOther episodes you might enjoy:Ep. 164: Insulin Resistance impacts more than your fertility and it's affecting younger women--what can you do? Ep. 156: Using DHEA to naturally increase hormones and fertility, with Laura Ducote Ep. 31: The Napro Difference, with Laura Ducote, F-NP, FCPEp. 3: BASICS--Reproductive HormonesEp. 135: Can I trust Natural Birth Control?Send us a textSupport the showOther great ways to connect with Woven Natural Fertility Care: Learn the Creighton Model System with us!

Switching to Natural Birth Control of some type -- like fertility awareness methods or natural family planning -- can feel really scary. How effective is natural family planning anyway? What if it doesn't work? These are fair and valid questions that every woman/couple should ask as they figure out the best option for them. But the great news is that certain forms of natural birth control, like the Creighton Model System, are incredibly effective -- 99.5% for avoiding pregnancy! -- which is higher than hormonal birth control. Still, it can feel scary to trust anything to plan your family in the timeline you'd like. Today's episode talks about this directly, as Caitlin explores how one couple's experience speaks to the reality many couples face: when it comes to family planning, who/what should we really trust? We'll explore the role our faith plays in these important questions and how to know when you can trust in your family planning. NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.

Did you know hormonal birth control is NOT your only option when it comes to avoiding pregnancy. Our incredible female body gives us clear daily signs to show when we are fertile and when we are not. By understanding these signs, we can either avoid getting pregnant or improve our chances of becoming pregnant. We can do this through applying the Fertility Awareness Method (also know as FAM). In this solo episode with Bella, she discuss the basics of the Fertility Awareness Method: the process, benefits, drawbacks, and the beginning steps to learning and practicing this method.

Have you ever thought about your first period?  Do you ever consider how it shaped you as a person, womb holder or woman?

welcome this week's episode of the grounded frequencies podcast ~ all about honouring your period and embracing your sacred cycles… my name is daisy!

In today's podcast, I wanted to get vulnerable about a huge change I made in my life last year: I stopped taking the birth control pill AND I don't want kids right now. I'm sharing my journey of how I stepped away from hormonal birth control after being on it for ten years and dived into a personal liberation adventure as I reconnected with the innate wisdom of my body's natural cycles and opened myself up to the horrifying thought of “who am I off the pill?”. Join me today as I answer the most asked questions that I wish someone could have told me before starting this journey. We'll be exploring the empowering world of fertility awareness, the wonders of our bodies and how they are communicating with us ALL the time, and we'll be unraveling the misconceptions and fear-based education that we learned about our bodies and sex. I'm here for empowered choices and I respect your choice no matter what you do with your body and fertility! There is no right way of birth control and there is certainly no “better” way. It is all individual and must be a personal choice. I honor each of you and hope that this podcast is educational but not influential in any way. I hope to give you my story and education, and I hope you will then be able to make an informed decision for what is best for you. I love you all. xoxo Luna (My favorite nutritionist who I mentioned): @westnutrition.co As I was editing this I saw that some US lawmakers are looking to ban oral contraceptives (the pill). This is why I believe even if FAM is not for you, it is so empowering to learn about it and have these tools at your disposal if the government decides to take even more reproductive rights away from women.

In this episode I share about Fertility Awareness Method Tracking and charting and specifically charting in the postpartum phase and how it's different from typical charting in other phases of life. I cover basic FAM charting including basal body temperature, cervical mucus & cervical position. I will also go over FAM charting in the postpartum phase, which is broken down into: Phase 1 - from the birth of the baby until the first *true* period Phase 2 - from the first period onward FAM charting in the postpartum phase can be used to assess your health and nutrient status after pregnancy and birth. You can also use FAM as a form of natural birth control to assist with spacing children and ensuring that you do not get pregnant if you don't want to. If you are planning to have more children, FAM can also help you to optimize your cycles and health prior to conception! Please enjoy, and as always reach out with questions!

According to the World Health Organization over 100 million women around the world use oral contraceptives as their birth control plan. Since the pill became available in 1960 it has been one of the most commonly used forms of birth control for females between the ages of 15-49. . Although highly effective “the pill” is known to have adverse side effects including nausea, breast tenderness, headaches, missed periods, weight gain, mood changes and decreased sex drive. With so many short term side effects and the possibility of even longer term side effects many women are looking to more natural birth control plans but aren't sure where to start. . In Episode 81 Emily talks about her experience transitioning from hormonal birth control to natural birth control using the fertility awareness method including the benefits and drawbacks of each along with how to get started and what you can expect when making the transition. . . .

On this episode of She Turned Entrepreneur we're meeting a holistic health and wellness coach whose passion for all things integrative is unmistakable. Emily Ruth relishes the opportunity she has to share with her clients the many practices she has discovered that work together to create optimal health. And it all starts with simply slowing down, taking a pause – however brief!Emily was 15 years into her career as an imaging technician when her personal health struggles opened a window onto an approach to medical ailments that departed completely from the standard western model. She has since studied deeply – and applied within her own life – the tenets of holistic healing, which is focused on cultivating wellness, not medicating illness.You'll learn about some of the early pitfalls into which Emily stumbled while getting her business up and running as well as an interesting tip to keep in mind if you're thinking about quitting your day job in favor of making an entrepreneurial leap. For Emily, who found the transition daunting out of the gate, having a coach to serve as her trusted adviser made a huge difference throughout the process. Don't be afraid, says our guest, to reach out for help!Click here to listen to, rate and review this or previous She Turned Entrepreneur episodes. Here are key takeaways from the conversation:· Even if you've invested in a lot of training and feel obligated to continue on a particular career path, it's important to stay alert. Your true passion may come into view.· Do your homework. Women's fertility and sexual health needn't be a mystery. · Try slowing down. Clock what's really going on physically and emotionally.· When life gets intense, it's our small daily practices that help us steady our course.· Feeling like your business is untethered? Guidance from a steady, grounded, authentic coach can be a gamechanger.· Slow and steady wins the race. Don't be distracted (or derailed) by social media and other internet noise.· It's important to set goals, but also to be fluid with the timeline for reaching them. Here's a quick look into the episode:· Having made a considerable investment in her education, Emily spent 15 years working in medical imaging despite the fact that she wasn't loving it. · When she was introduced to pregnancy charting, Emily was immediately drawn into the world of holistic healing and, ultimately, her work as a women's wellness coach.· How Emily reaches out to clients:o Through in-person and virtual networking.o Giving online workshops as well as live at community centers, health food stores and gyms.o Podcast guest appearances.· What Emily's coaching program typically looks like:o One-on-one meetups almost every week for a full year.o The lengthy timeline allows clients to dig into ingrained patterns and learn about important holistic tools, like pregnancy charting.o Most clients reach their goals within six months, but the second half of the program serves to solidify new habits and future goals· Who doesn't need coaching? People who wake up daily feeling … wonderful and like they're meeting all their personal health and wellness goals.· Emily's coaching focuses on helping clients discern the needs their bodies are communicating and how to track measurable results to the solutions they adopt.· Actionable tips for entrepreneurs looking for more holistic balance:o Take a step, even a very small one, to notice how you feel.o Get curious about whatever does or doesn't come up.o Give yourself time to explore!· Emily's definition of self-care is all about pressing the pause button. The act of nurturing yourself is an act of love:o Are you nourishing yourself? Drinking enough water?o Putting yourself to bed on time?o Integrating moments of calm into the daily drumbeat?o Getting enough sunlight?· Emily shares early challenges she encountered while launching her business:o Internet pitches that overpromised client base growth. Costly and ineffective.o Pandemic precipitated a hard stop on Emily's imaging career and a wholesale shift of identity that wasn't the smoothest. Finding a coach was her secret sauce!· Advice for those contemplating a step away from their 9-to-5 job:o Think twice. Maybe it makes sense to hang onto a salary while simultaneously planning and executing your launch.o Give yourself patience, and grace. o Have goals, but don't be super-attached to the timeline for reaching them.· Recommended Reading:§ "Taking Charge of Your Fertility: The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control, Pregnancy Achievement, and Reproductive Health," by Toni Weschler.

HOWEVER, she was terrified of unplanned pregnancy, dreading using condoms all the time, and trusting a method that wasn't the hormonal methods that are so commonly used. I am so excited to have Alicia here today because she so beautifully overcame these initial fears that I see SO many women struggling with and has been using the sympto-thermal method of natural birth control successfully for a year now!
