Most women are taught that their cycle is something to dread, manage, or suppress—but what if it’s actually one of the most powerful indicators of your overall health?
In this eye-opening conversation, we sit down with Leah Moritz, PA and FEMM educator, to talk about the incredible design of the female body, why ovulation is about more than fertility, and how learning to read your cycle can bring peace, clarity, and healing—no matter what season you’re in.
🔍 Why Birth Control Isn’t a Root Cause Solution
Birth control may seem like a simple fix for painful periods, irregular cycles, or hormonal acne—but in reality, it often just masks symptoms rather than addressing the deeper issue. Leah explains how hormonal contraceptives work by shutting down ovulation and suppressing communication between your brain and ovaries—something that has long-term consequences for your overall health. We also discuss what most doctors don’t tell women about how birth control impacts everything from hormone balance to cancer protection.
📈 Ovulation as a Vital Sign
Ovulation isn’t just about getting pregnant—it’s a sign of whether your body feels safe, nourished, and regulated. A healthy cycle includes a rise and fall of estrogen and progesterone that supports energy, mood, metabolism, and even bone and heart health. If you’re not ovulating, or if your luteal phase is too short, your body is likely under stress. Leah helps us understand what’s normal, what’s not, and why ovulation should be viewed as one of your body’s most important monthly check-ins.

📱 The FEMM Method: Tracking That Actually Makes Sense
Forget confusing apps or vague cycle symptoms. The FEMM method combines cervical mucus tracking and LH testing to give women a clearer picture of their hormone health in real-time. Leah walks us through what healthy cervical mucus looks like, how to recognize ovulation signs, and why learning this skill is empowering for women of all ages—from teens to perimenopausal women. You’ll walk away with practical next steps, whether you’re new to cycle tracking or ready to take it deeper.
🔄 What to Do When Your Cycle Feels “Off”
If your periods are heavy, irregular, or full of PMS symptoms, your body is waving a red flag. We discuss how root causes like insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, and chronic stress can throw off your hormone signaling—and what to do about it. Leah also shares how FEMM physicians use targeted lab work to identify imbalances and guide healing. The good news? With the right support and awareness, your body can return to balance.
It’s time to tune into your cycle—not silence it—and get curious about what your body might be trying to say.
