The Beauty Revealed Cycle Awareness Charting System
Beauty Revealed is written for young women whose menstrual cycles are approaching or have reached the reproductive stage of maturity, generally ages 16 to 22. Beauty Revealed teaches young women how to chart the cycle biomarkers of cervical mucus, vaginal sensation, basal body temperature, and urinary metabolites to enable them to identify ovulation, accurately pinpoint when the menstrual period is due, and monitor their reproductive health. After 1 to 2 cycles of charting experience, each young woman then chooses to use either an ovulation method approach, a sympto-thermal method approach, or a sympto-hormonal method approach to charting, depending upon which signs work best for her. The program also introduces young women to the theology of Natural Family Planning and includes a "cycle seasons" nutrition coaching system that focuses on eating and living in synch with the phases of the cycle. Beauty Revealed upholds the virtues of chastity and purity and does not teach young women how to use their signs to avoid pregnancy. The beta-version of Beauty Revealed is currently ready for seminar use or private instruction and consists of three 2-hour PowerPoint Sessions. Mother and daughter attend a 10-minute private follow-up together after each session.
