144- 3 Health Changes to Make Before Trying to Conceive
“People take control of their health by understanding the process that’s going on in their body and how to repair it and get back to a state of metabolic homeostasis where things are aligned with the way nature intended.” – Dr. Felice Gersh
Dr. Felice Gersh is a double board certified, ground-breaking thought leader in the field of PCOS. She returns to the PCOS Diva podcast to discuss taking control of your lifestyle before trying to get pregnant for the sake of the mother’s pre and postnatal health, ease of conception, and future health of the child. As Dr. Gersh explains, “If an unhealthy woman somehow achieves pregnancy through luck or through different techniques and gets through that pregnancy, that child is more likely to have a whole slew of issues; whether it’s ADHD or even increased risk of autism, or things like metabolic syndromes, diabetes and weight gain at younger ages, cardiometabolic issues, and mood problems.” Listen in (or read the transcript) as we discuss:- The food you should include in your diet every day
