Having read (and devoured) Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler a few months ago, I appreciated this more concise book that would probably feel more approachable to the people I recommend it to. Both books hold a wealth of information that every woman and girl everywhere should be aware of… it’s still astonishing to me that this knowledge isn’t even close to mainstream. The nutritional and lifestyle advice given in this book was a lot more detailed and in line with what I have found from my own research and experience. Diet and lifestyle are an essential foundation for a healthy cycle, and TCOYF didn’t spend quite enough time covering that, in my opinion. However, TCOYF was much more thorough in the ins and outs of actual charting which would likely be the better option for people seeking to use FA as birth control.

I sincerely hope this will be the last generation of girls that were never taught how their bodies, cycles and fertility were designed (beyond just the bleed, which is only a tiny part of the bigger picture), and how to naturally support this beautiful process and rhythm instead of suppressing it or fighting against it.
