Dr. Afrouz Demeri is a naturopathic doctor focused on women’s health. The more women she saw, she started to realize that the root cause of most women’s health struggles was in their childhood, whether it was how physical they were, how they ate, their medical treatment, emotional status, or any other number of issues. She started to focus on pediatrics, but there were still issues, so she started to look at pregnancy and the parents to help prevent many of the issues she was seeing. During her own pregnancy, she became aware of all the personal health issues she had that nobody was testing for, and she became passionate about helping couples have healthy children — starting before they try getting pregnant.You will learn about...How we can impact the future health of children before birthGiving children the best chance for successWhat you can and can’t control—and being okay with thatHow who you are impacts what you should eatGetting a full hormone assessment to see where you standIncreasing sperm qualityMaking one change at a timeSimplifying and minimizing your lifeResources:trimesterzerocourse.comAimforwomen.comInstagram: @drdemeripristinehydro.comConnect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:BWBK Protein Powder | Get $10 off your order with PODCAST10 at bewellbykelly.com.
