003: Natural Preconception Planning

It is so important to get your mind and body ready long before you want to get pregnant.

First and foremost, make sure you are ready to have this baby! You will want to have many essential components of your life in place before you actually conceive. Of course, you can't always plan things perfectly but as long as you do what you can, it can make a world of difference to support your body in conceiving naturally. This includes everything from removing the toxins in your home, to the supplements you are taking, the foods you are eating (and not eating), including regular exercise and managing your levels of stress. I get into all of this and so much more in this episode!
