Exciting news to share today! My new book The Fifth Vital Sign: Master Your Cycles & Optimize Your Fertility was released today! After 2 years of researching, writing, editing, and more editing, The Fifth Vital Sign is finally here!
In today’s episode, I talk about the main message of the book: Why we must look at the menstrual cycle as a vital sign that is constantly relaying important information about our health and fertility. We can tap into this incredible knowledge by paying attention to our cycles, and monitor our progress by paying attention to how our cycles change over time. Fertility awareness is a central part of this process as it gives us the tools to both modify and understand what’s happening in our cycles.
Today’s episode is sponsored by The Fifth Vital Sign: Master Your Cycles & Optimize Your Fertility. The Fifth Vital Sign is available for purchase on Amazon — click here to buy now.

This book is what I’ve been waiting for for 3 years of loving your podcast. I literally cried when I read on page 216 “I want you to know that it’s possible to reduce, and in some cases, eliminate your pain without drugs.” You are a blessing Lisa!
Thank you so much Hallie! Having experienced horrific period pain, I know how easy it is to think it’s just “normal”. So glad you’re enjoying the book! Do leave a review if it has resonated with you 🙂 xo
Lisa, I love you!
Thank you so much for writing this book – it will make life a whole lot easier for Fertility Awareness Educators everywhere to finally have a proper modern resource book to refer to ❤️
🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌
Thanks Siri!! 🙂
I really want to buy your book but I don’t buy things from amazon or it’s child companies like Abe Books. Is the book available elsewhere?
Hi Julia! You can purchase directly from me if you want: [email protected] although it still ships from Amazon. I know many people don’t wish to support Amazon, but when you purchase my book either from me or from them, you are still supporting me as an author. Sometime soon I’ll have other options to purchase outside of Amazon.
