Mothers Imprint Their Nutritional Health on Their Children

A baby’s genetics are gifted from both mom and dad. It’s absolutely beautiful and extraordinary.
🔸
Nutrient-wise, mama’s impact on her baby’s health is even bigger. This is why preconception PREP is such a huge focus for my clients!
🔸
“None of this growth and development can take place without nutrients. Fats and carbohydrates fuel the growth. Fats and cholesterol form cell membranes. Amino acids form structural proteins and enzymes. Vitamins and minerals act as cofactors for those enzymes or as regulators for the entire process of growth. These nutrients are uniquely supplied by the mother’s diet.” — Dr. Thomas S. Cowan & Sally Fallon
🔸
Preconception prep isn’t just important for your baby’s health, but for the health of your baby’s babies health.
🔸
“Nutrient status during pregnancy doesn’t just affect the current generation, but future ones. It’s been observed in history that “the effects of a pregnant woman’s diet can ripple, at the least, into the next two generations.” — Dr. Catherine Shanahan
🔸
Everyone’s prep-time is different depending on their current state of health, their past and current diet, supplement routine, lifestyle habits and more. Regardless of the situation, prepping is wise because:
🔸
“Over the course of a 265-day pregnancy, the baby takes about four pounds of minerals from the mother or about 10% of her total mineral supply.” — Dr. Robert Thompson, Obstetrician and Gynecologist
🔸
It takes time to build vitamin and mineral stores. Making sure there’s enough nutrients to go around can not only benefit your baby’s health, but your own — especially in recovery.
🔸
Running a Hair-Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and Full Monty Panel is a no-brainer with any client that wants to conceive. In addition to a nutrient-dense diet, these can be helpful tools that allow us to see her nutrient status AND function so we can replenish her the right way.
🔸
 I am also coming out with a course very soon that will teach you everything you need to know to prep correctly. Sign up to hear more via the link in my bio.
