Unfortunately, many women first encounter FAMs\u2014and an in-depth understanding of how the female body is designed\u2014only in their late twenties, early thirties, or beyond. Virtually all express a version of the same sentiment: <em>Why wasn\u2019t I taught this earlier<\/em>?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moms of teenage girls may further wonder, <em>what and how should I teach my daughter about her cycles, fertility, and sexuality? <\/em>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lumenpress.org\/product\/the-happy-girls-guide-to-being-whole\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Happy Girl\u2019s Guide to Being Whole: What You Never Knew about Your Natural Body<\/em><\/a>, a new book published by Lumen Press, seasoned Women\u2019s Health Nurse Practitioner Teresa Kenney is on a mission to teach young women everything they <em>should <\/em>be taught in sex-ed (but often, are not)\u2014most especially about their menstrual cycles and hormonal health [1].&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenney opens the book with a manifesto of sorts, advocating for an understanding of the female body, and feminine fertility in particular, that contrasts starkly with the predominant mainstream narrative of fertility as a burden and relevant only to women seeking to conceive. Kenney writes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cInstead of a narrative that tells women they must alter or suppress their natural feminine design in order to be happy and successful, we should create a culture that cultivates their feminine gifts, and a society that seeks to support them to thrive and remain whole\u2026 All women deserve to understand they were made good. To fully understand our bodies and hormonal gifts is <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/empowering-teenage-girls-to-know-their-bodies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">true empowerment<\/a>. It is time to <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/what-these-teenage-girls-didnt-know-about-their-cycles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">embrace our menstrual cycles<\/a> and procreative powers as the amazing gifts they are. These gifts should be respected, nurtured, and celebrated in our society in a way that helps women utilize them for the good of themselves, the good of their families, and the good of humanity.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<cite>(Kenney, 10)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-the-author-s-background-or-credibility-to-teach-on-this-topic\"><span id=\"whats-the-authors-background-or-credibility-to-teach-on-this-topic\">What\u2019s the author\u2019s background or credibility to teach on this topic?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/omahacatholicdoctors.org\/teresa-kenney-aprn-np\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Teresa Kenney<\/a> has over two decades of experience as a Women\u2019s Health Nurse Practitioner, and she spent many of those years working for the St. Paul VI Institute where <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/naprotechnology-answers-to-your-frequently-asked-napro-questions-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NaProTechnology<\/a> was developed.

The book is peppered with \u201cCase Files\u201d stories from <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/cycle-mindfulness-what-happens-when-you-teach-fertility-awareness-to-teen-girls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">teenage<\/a> and twenty-somethings (with pseudonyms) whom Kenney has cared for throughout the years. Sections on relationship health and self-care are geared specifically to the <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/3-myths-about-teaching-teens-about-fertility-awareness-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">teen<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/stop-your-period-naturally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">twenty<\/a>-something demographic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the content directly addresses young women, this book would also make great study material for moms to read through together with their daughters. Notably, references to sex are biologically accurate without veering into titillation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-main-content-areas-of-the-happy-girl-s-guide-nbsp\"><span id=\"what-are-the-main-content-areas-of-the-happy-girls-guide\">What are the main content areas of <em>The Happy Girl\u2019s Guide<\/em>?&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At just 137 pages of content (not including the resources and reference sections), <em>The Happy Girl\u2019s Guide<\/em> is a very readable, \u201cmini-textbook\u201d of sorts. Main content areas include the anatomy of the <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/how-to-teach-teen-boys-about-fertility-awareness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">male<\/a> and female reproductive systems, in-depth explanation of his and hers hormones (including a fascinating lesson on the hormones released in both genders during sex), <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/whats-a-normal-menstrual-cycle-for-my-teenager-daughter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">what\u2019s normal<\/a> and what\u2019s not when it comes to periods and menstrual cycles, an intro to FAMs, and the key risks of each type of <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/blood-clots-knee-surgery-birth-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">birth control<\/a>, all masterfully presented in accessible language.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strengths-of-the-happy-girl-s-guide\"><span id=\"strengths-of-the-happy-girls-guide\">Strengths of <em>The Happy Girl\u2019s Guide<\/em>?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is much to love about <em>The Happy Girl\u2019s Guide<\/em>. Visually appealing graphic design significantly enhances readability throughout the book, most especially in the section on the four phases of the female menstrual cycle. My favorite graphic was a brilliant original depiction showing what simultaneously goes on in the cervix, the uterus,<em> and<\/em> with the four main female hormones during each cycle phase. My favorite content includes why <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/interview-with-lisa-hendrickson-jack-fifth-vital-sign-fertility-friday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ovulation is a fifth vital sign<\/a>, indicating both reproductive health and overall health in the body, <em>and<\/em> why ovulation (rather than menstruation) is the <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/fam-basics-what-is-ovulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cmain event\u201d<\/a> of the female cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Importantly, the book provides answers to the common questions girls and young women have around their cycles and fertility, like how much (and how many days of) bleeding is normal, how long a normal cycle is from beginning to end (and what a too long or too short cycle could mean), whether pregnancy is always possible for women (i.e. whether women are always fertile), whether birth control is the best or only option for common reproductive problems like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/naturalwomanhood-org-teen-periods-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">irregular cycles<\/a>, heavy bleeding, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s even an insightful interview between Kenney and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jyKm-8Vi658&amp;t=41s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Marguerite Duane, founder of FACTS<\/a>, that educates young women on how to approach their doctors about their desire to get off the Pill or utilize a FAM (which the book refers to as Natural Fertility Methods) for health monitoring, and even how to know when it\u2019s time to seek a different provider (hint: if your doctor insists that FAMs are really <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/fam-basics-what-is-the-rhythm-method-natural-birth-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">just the rhythm method<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/tips-for-when-your-doctor-wont-listen-help-for-pcos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">won\u2019t listen<\/a> when you express your desire to learn more about your body through a FAM, it\u2019s time).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-limitations-or-blindspots\"><span id=\"limitations-or-blindspots\">Limitations or blindspots<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I wish I\u2019d found an index at the back of the book, especially one formatted to connect readers to specific page numbers for the answers to the reproductive health questions girls and young women are most commonly Google searching. I also would have liked the Self-Care section\u2014which importantly addresses how young women can optimize their hormonal health through diet, supplements, exercise, sleep, cycle charting, and more\u2014to include information on <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/cycle-syncing-how-to-hack-the-natural-hormonal-shifts-of-your-cycle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cycle syncing<\/a>, which facilitates body literacy and self acceptance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-practical-are-the-authors-suggestions-for-the-average-woman\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How practical are the author\u2019s suggestions for the average woman?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenney\u2019s down-to-earth tone and straightforward explanations lend themselves easily to manageable action steps for her intended audience of teens and twenty-somethings, as well as adult women in general. The basics of cycle and hormonal health she shares in the <em>Guide<\/em> are a solid launching point for young women to start tracking their cycles and signs of fertility, especially for those who want to take their personal health data to a trained restorative reproductive medicine (RRM) provider to work up reproductive issues. Certainly, healthcare deserts for RRM providers exist in many parts of the country, but fortunately telehealth is making Creighton, Marquette, FEMM, and other FAM instructors and healthcare providers accessible like never before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for how well the book\u2019s content lives up to its promise of assisting girls and young women to become &#8220;happy&#8221; and &#8220;whole,&#8221; the <em>Guide<\/em> makes a strong case for why gaining body literacy through learning fertility awareness (and, when appropriate, using that knowledge to identify root causes for cycle issues) is a major component of overall female wellness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-verdict-to-buy-borrow-or-skip-the-happy-girl-s-guide-to-being-whole-altogether\"><span id=\"the-verdict-to-buy-borrow-or-skip-the-happy-girls-guide-to-being-whole-altogether\">The verdict: To buy, borrow, or skip <em>The Happy Girl\u2019s Guide to Being Whole<\/em> altogether?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I bought copies of this book for myself, my mom, my sister, and my sister-in-law. Since we are each geographically spaced out across the state and even country, my hope is that each woman makes <em>The Happy Girl\u2019s Guide to Being Whole<\/em> into a literary version of the jeans from <em>Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants<\/em>, spreading the good news amongst female friends and relatives.
