Healthy Mom, Strong Healthy Baby

    "Healthy Mom, Strong Healthy Baby" is a program organized to assist in providing the resources and support for a healthy mom and strong healthy baby!

    Every mother's goal is to have a strong healthy baby. There are proven factors both environmental and genetic that can interfere with both a healthy pregnancy and strong healthy baby. Identifying those factors prenatally will enable us to optimize maternal, fetal, and infant health.

    Helping to create a strong healthy baby begins in our reproductive years and actually even in the generations before us. Currently we are exposed to toxicants and chemicals that no prior generations have been.

    Our individual make up and genetics determines how our body will respond to these environmental influences. Knowing that our health is determined 75% by environmental influences and 25% by genetic influences means we can have an active role in tipping the scales in our favor for good, optimal health.

    Each one of us is unique. We should especially approach this special time in our lives uniquely to improve our chances of having the healthiest pregnancy, childbirth, and strong healthy baby we can!

    It begins with:

    • Maintaining a healthy lifestyle

    • Individualized Optimal Nutrition (ION)

    • Genetic evaluation and testing for inborn errors of metabolism, lets call them our genetic 'quirks'

    • Healthy detoxification on a regular basis prior to pregnancy (once pregnant we want to keep toxins where they are!)

    • Healthy teeth and gums

    • Optimized prenatal supplements

    • Incorporating a Mind, Body, and Spirit approach

    • Breast feeding and optimal nutritional support during breastfeeding

    • Healthy and safe vaccination schedule

    • Infant dietary and nutritional balance
