Lisa Hendrickson-Jack

is a Certified Fertility Awareness Educator and Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner who teaches women to chart their menstrual cycles for natural birth control, conception, and monitoring overall health. She is the founder of the Fertility Awareness Mastery Mentorship™️ program and the author of three bestselling books: The Fifth Vital Sign, the Fertility Awareness Mastery Charting Workbook, and Real Food For Fertility (co-authored with Lily Nichols).

Lisa works tirelessly to debunk the myth that regular ovulation is only important when you want children by recognizing the menstrual cycle as a vital sign. Drawing heavily from the current scientific literature, Lisa presents an evidence-based approach to help women connect to their fifth vital sign by uncovering the connection between the menstrual cycle, fertility, and overall health.

With well over 4 million downloads, her podcast, Fertility Friday, is the #1 source for information about fertility awareness and menstrual cycle health. You can find Lisa’s work at fertilityfriday.com
