Lisa has recently authored and released a fantastic informative and very well referenced book called The Fifth Vital Sign - Master Your Cycles and Optimise Your Fertility. Having worked with Women and all thing Fertility Awareness for almost 20years, Lisa is a wealth of knowledge and truly passionate about educating Women and the wider community about the importance and Myths of the Fertility Awareness Method or FAM. In our discussion we have a super interesting conversation about FAM and explore a few aspects. FAM, like so many health modalities is such a huge topic and we only scratch the surface of some areas and delve a little deeper into others.
