10| The Fifth Vital Sign

Episode 10!! This week I spoke with Kelsey Knight and Emily Varnam, the co-founders of the Fifth Vital Sign. The Fifth Vital Sign refers to the fifth vital sign of health for women- the menstrual cycle. Kelsey and Emily created this project in response to the incredible lack of body literacy and education on female reproductive health. They created a course out of information they compiled and taught it all around the country. They now facilitate trainings for women to educate women using the original course as a framework. They are empowering women to empower themselves and each other. "Conversations in Community" is the name of this platform and I encourage anyone interested to participate. http://www.5thvitalsign.com/ Get in touch with these incredible women, they are so knowledgeable and conscientious. They are doing an incredible job at making this information accessible, approachable, and inclusive. **note that we lost Kelsey at the end, please excuse my technical issues**
