Your fertility chart is more than a family planning tool—it’s a monthly health report card. In this episode, Emma unpacks how cycle tracking can uncover hidden health concerns long before they show up in lab work or symptoms.

We’ll explore:

• Why the menstrual cycle is considered a “fifth vital sign”
• Common patterns in charts and what they can indicate
• The science behind how hormones, thyroid health, stress, and inflammation show up in your cycle
• How to present your chart to a healthcare provider for better care
• Myths about charting that keep people from using it for health
• Practical steps to start spotting patterns in your own cycle

Whether you’re avoiding pregnancy, trying to conceive, or simply curious about your body, you’ll leave this episode with the tools and confidence to use your chart as one of the most powerful health resources you already have.
