[FAMM Practitioner Series] FFP 439 | The Pill & Gall Bladder Disease | Charting Through HA | Rose Constantine Smith

In today's episode Rose shares her personal experience with pill-induced gall bladder disease, as well as what lead her to use fertility awareness personally and in her women's health nutrition practice.

Rose Constantine Smith is a Registered AFN Nutritionist specializing in women's health.

Using nutrition, lifestyle and now menstrual cycle charting Rose supports women to meet their health goals whilst helping them to understand and appreciate their bodies beyond their physical appearance.

She works with women of all ages with issues including menstrual health, digestion, preparing for pregnancy, supporting energy, postnatal recovery and health post-menopause.

Now with her knowledge of fertility awareness which helped her through her own journey where she was left with very little support after the birth of her daughter, she is on a mission to provide women with the information and support they deserve to navigate their health and hormones smoothly throughout their life.
