As we roll into the new year, I will strongly focus on specific conditions. You have all asked for more information on specific conditions, such as⁠
⁠
- Recurrent Pregnancy Loss⁠
- Placental Conditions (Abruption, Insufficiency)⁠
- Preterm Labor⁠
- ICP⁠
- Preeclampsia⁠
- GDM⁠
⁠
etc...⁠
⁠
If you want to see something specific this year in posts, please add it to the comments below. ⁠
⁠
In the meantime, I'm going to jump into Recurrent Pregnancy Loss. ⁠
⁠
Conventional medicine doesn't consider miscarriages an issue until they become recurrent (3 in a row). Of course, my heart has a hard time with this, and even though they can happen due to a variety of reasons, and it is our body's natural way of releasing unhealthy embryos, I think that one is one too many. ⁠
⁠
If you have experienced a miscarriage or know someone who has, you know that it is no small thing. No matter the timing, it is a loss...and it hurts. ⁠
⁠
The case study I added yesterday (see reels) was a perfect example of how simple prevention can be if you know what you are looking at. ⁠
⁠
Today's post is a follow-up to that.⁠
⁠
Vitamin B6 has been known to elicit progesterone-like effects since the 1970's. ⁠
⁠
More recent studies have found that vitamin B6 lowers excess estrogen and increases progesterone levels, reduces prolactin, improves fasting glucose levels (higher levels can be a marker of B6 deficiency), improves CRP and oxidative stress markers (hello glutathione), and has been shown to affect platelet aggregation. These are all things that can affect implantation and early embryo/placental development. ⁠
⁠
Other studies have found that higher serum vitamin B6 levels reduce the chance of miscarriage by 50% and improve fertility by 120%. (Link in bio)
