Preconception Care

Preconception health is your health BEFORE pregnancy. Gaining heath prior to conception isn’t about getting pregnant, its about giving your unborn child the best chance at a healthy, thriving life.

You will be guided through 3 months of a dedicated overall health and wellness journey. Each month with focus on certain foundations of preconception health.

Foundations of Preconception Care

Chiropractic

The brain controls all of the body's systems and functions! If there is an interference between the brain and body, the systems will not function correctly. Chiropractors can remove the interference (subluxations) that block the connection between the brain and the body.

Nutrition

Nutrition is important for promoting fertility and reproductive health in both males and females. It’s never too early to start thinking about preconception nutrition! A preconception diet and maintaining a healthy weight.

Water

Dehydration is never an ideal condition for your body, and it can be especially harmful during preconception and pregnancy. For women, dehydration can affect cervical mucus, which plays an important role in transporting and protecting the sperm to the fallopian tubes for egg fertilization. For men, semen production and semen volume can be negatively impacted by dehydration too.

Supplements

Though it does not replace healthy eating, good quality nutritional supplements are essential. The sperm and egg are equally important in the creation of a healthy baby so both parents should be sure they are getting their necessary nutrients.

Relaxation

When we relax, we decrease our stress levels. Reducing stress has been shown to increase the rates of pregnancy in infertile women. When you consider that stress hurts the body, causing distress and functional changes, it is easier to understand that relaxation can help the body regain more natural and normal function.

Exercise

Starting a workout routine and being active is a big move in the right direction when you're trying to conceive. Exercise reduces stress and helps you to sleep better. Working out regularly can help you to maintain a healthy weight, which is important since pregnancy is not the time to try and lose the pounds.

Inspiration

Inspiration is a motivational state that drives you to bring ideas to life. You can inspire yourself by focusing on positive outcomes and removing hurdles.

What about Dad?

It is not only important for Mom’s preconception health, but Dads as well! Dads pass on more than genetics in their sperm. Evidence has shown that sperm can take note of their father’s lifestyle decisions and transfer this information to offspring. It takes two healthy parents to create a healthy baby!
