Do you need to "do a detox" before getting pregnant?

In this episode of the Resilient Fertility Podcast you'll learn:

  • Why taking steps to support detoxification BEFORE your 3 month preconception window is important for optimal health of your future baby

  • How environmental toxicants can impact your fertility (and male fertility), directly impacting egg quality and sperm quality

  • The impact your environment has on your hormone balance, influencing states of estrogen dominance and common conditions symptoms like PCOS, Endometriosis, PMS, heavy periods, irregular cycles and more

  • What you can do to reduce your chances of experiencing extreme nausea and vomiting in pregnancy and some natural strategies to improve Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG)

  • Whether or not you need to stop breastfeeding to do a detox before your next pregnancy

  • How I approach supporting detoxification in the preconception period

Did you know that a mother passes on her toxin load to her baby in pregnancy and during breastfeeding?

This is why I place such an emphasis on nourishing your detoxification BEFORE you conceive. A lot of times people ask me, “but aren’t we detoxifying all the time even if we’re not doing a specific detox protocol? Yes, you are totally detoxifying but if you were running a manufacturing plant and half the workers didn’t show up for the day, how do you think it would perform? That’s kind of how you can think of your liver. There is so much more where that came from!

Want to learn more about how to support your detoxification capacity to enhance your pregnancy experience and gift your future child with resilient health?

In my course, Resilient Motherhood: a self-paced guide to preparing for conception and beyond, I guide you through even more (than in this episode) about how you can reduce your toxic burden, but also how you can provide your body with the nutrients necessary to run liver detox effectively and how you can optimize your elimination routes to ensure you are eliminating what your liver is intending as waste.
