About this episode

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Elina Berglund, co-founder of Natural Cycles and a former particle physicist. Elina shares how her own search for hormone-free birth control led her to create the Natural Cycles algorithm. She explains how basal body temperature works and what sets an FDA-cleared app apart from a period tracker. They also get into using Natural Cycles to conceive, plus the newer modes for postpartum and perimenopause. Elina closes with how she stays well while running a company with her husband.
