Dr. Sarah Denny Lorio

Dr. Sarah Denny Lorio holds a PhD in Bioethics from the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum in Rome. A speaker, podcast host, and writer, she works part-time as an ethicist with the National Catholic Bioethics Center. In her doctoral research, which focused on the differing philosophies that affect the practice of women’s health in the United States of America, she consistently argued for a “third way” of sex education that teaches young people fertility awareness-based methods both as preventive medicine and as proximate vocation preparation. Throughout the last 14 years, Dr. Lorio has taught at both the university and high school levels: working as an ethics professor at Loyola University in New Orleans, teaching and coaching young women at Archbishop Chapelle High School, and speaking and leading international trips for college students as a campus minister at Louisiana State University. Having trained in two methods of fertility awareness—Creighton Model FertilityCare System (2013) and FEMM (2024)—her passion is to empower women through a deeper knowledge of the great gift and beauty of their bodies and sexuality. In her work within the field of bioethics and women’s health, she consistently seeks to integrate the demands of medicine with the dignity of womanhood. Her work highlights the essential role of human freedom in the education of young women and men, and she is in the process of developing a high school curriculum focusing on these issues as well as creating similar resources for parents seeking to have these ever-important conversations with their children. She currently lives in New Orleans, LA, with her husband, Alex.
