Gen Z tracks everything — sleep, steps, macros, mood. But when it comes to their reproductive health, 59% of Gen Z women feel uninformed, and 69% are worried about their future fertility. This is not a personal failure. It is a systemic one. And the consequences are showing up in Dr. Minjeur's practice every single day — women arriving in their mid-30s with fertility challenges that had early, identifiable signs years earlier.
In this episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur makes the case for cycle literacy as essential health education — not a niche topic, and not a conversation to delay. Through the story of Jenna, a 26-year-old who spent a year without a period after stopping birth control she had been on since age 16, you will see what happens when young women are never taught what a healthy cycle actually looks like.
You will learn:
Why ovulation — not menstruation — is the true vital sign of reproductive health, and why this distinction matters enormously
How hormonal contraceptives can mask underlying cycle conditions for years, only for them to resurface when a woman is ready to conceive
What cycle literacy looks like in practice — and why starting to chart in your teens and twenties changes everything
If you are a young woman wondering about your cycles, or a mother wanting better for the next generation, this episode is a must-listen. Learn more or schedule a free discovery call at radiantclinic.com
