How can we use food and nutrients to improve our fertility and get our body ready for conception? Food is what sets the foundation for a healthy and successful pregnancy and it’s important we all know the right steps to take to set ourselves – and our baby – up for success. If you’ve been following the podcast for a while then you’ll recognize today’s guest: Meah Robertson. Meah has been a friend of mine since the early days of my career as a menstrual educator and I knew she was the perfect person to join me in talking all about nutrition for preconception and pregnancy. Meah is the owner of LifeStart Naturopathics and the creator of Fem21, an herbal superfood blend that helps women balance their hormones naturally. Throughout our conversation, Meah talks about the role nutrition plays in preconception, why it’s never too late to change our habits, the first steps she recommends women take, why there is a lack of preconception education for men, how to talk about preconception with your partner, and so much more.
