The book is the story about a body in continuous transformation and unravels the mystery surrounding women’s biology and explains what is happening underneath the surface. We all know that the female body changes cyclically every month during the reproductive years, and that it completely transforms during puberty, pregnancy and menopause. However, most of us ignore the fascinating details. What triggers those changes and what are the sometimes unexpected consequences? The facts are as mind-blowing as entertaining. Based on the latest research, all information is presented in an easy to read manner with plenty of anecdotes; from historical prejudices to personal experiences, with some evolutionary ideas in between. But this book is about more than facts, it will teach you how to think whenever you get confronted with new information and how to judge whether new information you come across is valid or not.

 I’ve read about periods and ovulation before, and been left thoroughly confused by all the acronyms and words I’d never read before, and although this book is scientific and still has those, they’re explained in terms that are easy to understand. Falco has thoroughly nailed the art of explaining things that would otherwise go over my head, in a way that’s simple and often times rather amusing or relatable, without feeling like she’s dumbing things down.

ABOUT ME

I have been working in the interface between medicine and technology for almost 20 years, on how data can be used to better understand the human body. Doing so I have worked within varying fields of women’s health, such as bone research, diabetes and fertility. I was previously Director of Data Science at Ava, a Swiss FemTech startup, where I led a team developing algorithms and artificial intelligence in order to help women get pregnant faster by using their physiological data based on their menstrual cycle. The work I did there, and the women I encountered in the process, inspired me to write this book.

Nowadays I work as Zühlke as a consultant for Data & AI within healthcare and especially FemTech. I also drive initiatives on Responsible AI. To keep up on my current work follow me on LinkedIn

THE BOOK

The information in this book is based on the latest research, explained in an easy to read manner and with plenty of personal, fact-based and funny anecdotes.  The facts are put in perspective and emphasize that just because something is true on average, it does not necessarily make it true for you as a person.


This book explains the continuous transformation of the female body. We all know that it changes cyclically every month during the reproductive years, and that it completely transforms during the major transition phases: puberty, pregnancy and menopause. However, most of us ignore the fascinating details. What triggers those changes and what are the sometimes unexpected consequences?
