Did you know that a woman can only get pregnant a few days each month — and that her body gives her clear signs of when those days are?In this episode of The Bioethics Babe Podcast, Dr. Marguerite Duane, board-certified family physician and co-founder of FACTS About Fertility, reveals the science behind fertility awareness and restorative reproductive medicine.Dr. Duane shares how a night hospital shift changed her entire understanding of women’s health, why fertility awareness is not the old ‘rhythm or calendar method,’ and how tracking a woman's natural biomarkers — like cervical fluid, basal body temperature, and hormone levels — can help women and couples understand their fertility, address root causes of reproductive health issues, and move beyond the era of unhealthy hormonal contraception. Dr. Duane has become a national leader in fertility awareness education.Whether a woman is trying to conceive, manage her health naturally, or simply wants to understand her body better, this conversation will change how you think about women’s health and couples’ fertility.We discuss:How Dr. Duane discovered fertility awareness during residencyThe truth about fertility awareness-based methods (FABMs) vs. the rhythm methodHow cervical fluid, hormones, and temperature reveal fertilityThe medical science behind FABMsWhat apps and tools actually work — and which ones to avoidThe mission of FACTS and how it’s transforming medical educationWhy fertility awareness is for every woman and for couplesFor more information, the latest episodes, and additional resources, visit www.bioethicsbabe.com.📚For Episode Resources, please visit the episode page: https://bioethicsbabe.com/the-science-of-fertility-rethinking-womens-reproductive-health-with-dr-marguerite-duane-ep-6/Thank you for tuning in!XOXO,Bioethics Babe👉 Subscribe for more deep-dive discussions at the intersection of science, ethics, and medicine.Follow BB on social media:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BioethicsBabeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576554667052Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bioethicsbabeX: https://x.com/bioethicsbabe
