Get Pregnant Naturally Why This Matters For Your Postpartum Health
But what I didn’t realize and what I now know for sure is that my body was desperately trying to tell me something.
Although I was able to conceive my kids with donor eggs my postpartum period was not good.
That’s why addressing our preconception health NOW helps us have a much more positive postpartum experience.
Because although we are single-mindedly focused on having our baby, the more we can optimize our health the better we are able to take care of our baby.
Today I'm welcoming Brandy Buskow back to the podcast.
She is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and Certified Transformational Health Coach and EFT Practitioner.
This episode is for you:
Feel like running out of time and in a panic to conceive
Tried everything and not sure why it’s not working so IVF seems like the next logical step
Don't know how to optimize postpartum health
In this episode you'll learn:
1) Why postpartum health is an important consideration before you are trying to conceive.
2) How epigenetics impact our pregnancy and baby. Is infertility being passed on to the next generation?
3) The impact of children’s health and the rising epidemic of childhood disease - why it's essential to take a step back to take one giant leap forward.
4) Increased risk of autoimmunity after pregnancy for the mother (i.e. Hashimoto's, Celiac, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Irritable Bowel Disease)
5) Themes we see with secondary infertility and why this matters if you are TTC.
6) Steps we can take right now to optimize preconception health
