What are the real benefits to Naturopathic care – 100 days before conception
Ensuring that your body is in optimal health and ready to conceive is vital for every body.
The fertility journey is different for every person but there are some key things that remain important for everyone.
Ensuring that your body is in optimal health and ready to conceive is vital for every body. In an an initial preconception appointment we will discuss the significance of diet and nutrition as well as how supplements can be helpful during this time.
Herbal medicine may also be recommended in order to prepare the body for conception as well as to support menstural irregularities and conditions that may get in the way of a conception.
Follow up consultations will discuss the initial treatment and see how things have been going. This is also a great opportunity to discuss cycle tracking and look at other questions that may arise around when you may be ovulating, mucous changes, and other symptoms related to hormonal changes.
Preconception support along with pregnancy care are great first step in ensuring that you are supported and aim to achieve the best outcomes for a healthy pregnancy.
