Pre-Conception Care
Before actively trying to conceive, many women and/or couples decide to spend a few months improving their health. Modern research tells us that lifestyle issues such as diet, stress and body weight can influence our fertility and the health of future generations. Optimal pre-conception care involves maximising nutrient intake and avoiding toxins that impair fertility or increase the risk of birth defects. Other aspects of preconception care can include screening for infections, screening for heavy metals and achieving a healthy body weight. Many women find that after following preconception care guidelines they conceive within a short time.
