Research & Evidence
My work is informed by ongoing review of peer-reviewed research in reproductive endocrinology, fertility awareness-based methods, and women’s health. Below are selected papers and clinical frameworks that shape my approach:
Clinical Gynecologic Endocrinology and Infertility
Describes how estrogen/progestin combinations suppress FSH and LH, preventing follicular development and ovulation.
The Mechanism of Hormonal Contraceptives
Confirms that hormonal contraceptives function by suppressing ovulation via the HPO axis, rather than supporting a natural ovulatory cycle.
Ovulation, a sign of health
Establishes ovulation as a vital sign of overall health, reinforcing Fertile Health’s philosophy that cycle awareness and biomarker tracking are essential tools for early insight, prevention, and informed care across a woman’s lifespan.
The Case for FEMM
Outlines a standardized, evidence-based framework for fertility awareness education, supporting Fertile Health’s emphasis on hormone literacy, biomarker tracking, and informed decision-making across the reproductive lifespan.
