TempDrop 10 years later: A conversation with inventor Michael Vardi

The Natural Womanhood Podcast

"What started as an ambitious crowdfunding campaign back in 2014 has since grown into the world’s first wearable [basal body temperature] sensor, advancing women’s reproductive health throughout every stage." So reads TempDrop's "About Us" page. As it happens, Natural Womanhood's website also began 10 years ago, in 2014, and so it only feels right that we'd have the distinction of being the first podcast to ever interview TempDrop's inventor and founder, Michael Vardi.
In this episode of The Natural Womanhood Podcast, NW's Editor-in-Chief, Grace Emily Stark, and TempDrop's founder, Michael Vardi, trace the beginnings of TempDrop, fertility apps, and women's growing interest in body literacy. They also discuss the trends, discoveries, and challenges of the last 10 years of fertility awareness and Femtech, and what the future holds for both.
The Natural Womanhood Podcast brings together experts in the field of fertility awareness for candid, informative, and friendly conversations about authentic women’s health. The podcast is hosted by Natural Womanhood’s Editor-in-Chief and Public Relations manager, Grace Emily Stark. Grace is an award-winning journalist, a certified instructor of the Sympto-Thermal Method of fertility awareness, and she holds a M.A. in Bioethics and Health Policy.
Natural Womanhood exists because all women can learn to claim their natural fertility as beautiful, powerful, and healthy. Learn more about Natural Womanhood, here.
