“Every woman’s cycle is different, and it can change from one cycle to the next.” - Sabrina Nowicki

For many women, tracking their cycle is synonymous with app predictions. An app tells you when you’re ovulating, when your period is coming, and what to expect next. But that model assumes that our bodies all follow the same pattern month after month, which is rarely the case in reality. Our cycles are influenced by stress, travel, illness, sleep, underlying health conditions, and many other factors in our daily lives. When we learn how to listen, we make room to hear what our bodies are telling us in real time.

While digital tools can make tracking more convenient, they don’t replace the need to understand your own physiology. Learning to recognize patterns in cervical fluid, basal body temperature, and cycle variability isn’t just about fertility. It’s about developing a deeper relationship with your body and empowering yourself in a way that can support you and even make earlier identification of health issues more likely.

Today, I’m joined by Sabrina Nowicki, co-founder and CEO of Cyclisity, an app inspired by the work of Toni Weschler and her book, Taking Charge of Your Fertility. Sabrina shares the story behind building the app and how it was designed as a companion to the fertility awareness method rather than a predictive tool. In this conversation, we talk about the limitations of algorithm-based cycle tracking, why awareness is more accurate than prediction, how charting can support both fertility and diagnosis, how clinicians can integrate this approach into their practices, and more.

Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!
