Just a little fact about the importance of preconception care-
Subfertility is defined when a couple cannot conceive after 1 year of frequent, unprotected in*******se which can be difficult for couples to cope with. This results in couples resorting to other techniques such as IVF however; this does not treat the root cause and may come with risk.
A major and fundamental cause of subfertility is the environmental and lifestyle factors which can be prevented unlike genetic causes. Nutrition is the most significant but most neglected, as essential compounds derived from nutrition make up DNA for the development of s***matozoa (s***m) and oocytes (egg).
Consideration of nutrient status four months prior is significant to correct all defects of the prospective outcome.
Preconception management adheres to the naturopathic philosophy that the final stages of gamete production (offspring) may be influenced by the parent’s health and wellbeing. In other words, each partner donates one cell each to the potential baby and the health of that baby depends on the health of the DNA in those cells.
Final stages of s***matogenesis (s***m) is approximately 72 days and the final stages of oocyte (egg) development is 100 days, and therefore the environment to which they are exposed to throughout this time of development can influence numerous abnormalities.
I have created mini preconception and natal consultations so I can prescribe the most appropriate practitioner grade natal supplements specifically for you.
