Tracking Your Cycle: What is The Fertility Awareness Method? with author Toni Weschler and Sabrina Nowicki

I'm joined by extraordinary women who are changing the way women understand our fertility cycles: Toni Weschler, internationally respected women's health educator and author of the landmark book Taking Charge of Your Fertility (translated into 12 languages), and Sabrina Nowicki, engineer, product designer, fertility awareness method practitioner, and CEO of Cyclisity - the new app built as the perfect companion to Toni's book. What makes this collaboration even more special? Toni is Sabrina's aunt, and their bond has been at the heart of this project from the very beginning.

We are talking about why so many women have never been taught the basics of their own cycles, and how the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) offers a science-backed, no-algorithm, no-black-box approach to understanding your body. Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating a fertility treatment cycle, or simply want to take charge of your reproductive health, this conversation will change the way you think about your cycle: from drama to data.

In this episode, we cover:

• What the Fertility Awareness Method actually is, and how it's completely different from the outdated rhythm method
• The two primary fertility signs (basal body temperature and cervical fluid) and why the symptothermal method is more reliable than tracking one sign alone
• How Cyclisity was built to mirror the exact terminology and rules in Taking Charge of Your Fertility making it a true companion to the book
• Why Cyclisity uses no predictive algorithms and gives you full transparency into how each day of your cycle is classified
• How FAM charting can help fertility patients bring richer, more actionable data to their doctor, potentially expediting diagnosis and treatment
• The common mistakes beginners make when starting to chart, and how the app is designed to support learning and reduce errors
• Cyclisity's commitment to user privacy: self-funded, no data selling, no ads, with the option to store your data only on your phone or personal iCloud
