Food First, then Supplements
I get it. It’s appealing to think that you can just take a prenatal or some other supplement and be good to go. Who wouldn’t want to be able to pop a few pills and then focus on basically anything/everything else knowing nutrition was completely taken care of? Yea, me too. And I get so many clients who seem to think that I’m holding out some miracle supplement or silver bullet that will just solve all their problems. Unfortunately, that’s just not the way it works. Believe me, so many days I wish it did! Good news is, Mother Nature is pretty stellar at offering us all we need, if we know how to look (and I can help you with that!). But, sometimes, supplements can help bridge the gaps or offer us a nice safety net, especially in critical times like trying to conceive and pregnancy!
Fueling Fertility
When it comes to conceiving, there are plenty of things you don’t have much control over, but your diet is one element that you not only have control over, but that plays a massive role in improving (or damaging) your chances of conceiving. Remember that old adage, “you are what you eat”? Well, you are what you don’t eat, too. In other words, if you eat processed foods, foods that encourage inflammation, or foods lacking in nutrients, your body is going to have quite a tough time supplying quality eggs and sperm to try to make a baby.
