Have you ever really considered how your monthly cycle affects your life? After following many proponents for seed cycling (which I don’t love) and exercise ladies, I realized they really onto something. We simply do not work the same every day of the month. We can’t expect our body to perform the same when so much is happening differently each week.

Our first week, we start off tired as we are in the middle of a uterine reset. The old is cast away as the new takes over. By the end of the week, we are normally energetic and ready to start out our month!

The second week we are in fire. We work out the best. We have the most energy, and we get the most done. This is the week to plan projects, lift heavy, and move more.

The third week, changes are happening. We peak in energy, and ovulation occurs. We can still workout, but it is good to slow it down, move intentionally, and eat nourishing foods for the luteal phase of our cycle.

The last week can be all over the place for women. Some just have a second third week, I personally have a falling apart week. I shut down, have little energy, and get very little done. For perimenopause, histamine and inflammation can increase this week as estrogen and progesterone drop off. Plan less this week, give yourself grace, and prepare for your coming reset.

This is worth discussing, especially for those facing infertility. While most doctors state it is safe to have up to two cups of coffee during pregnancy, for an unestablished pregnancy, risks do exist.

For too long, IVF doctors have only asserted the benefits of IVF with no reality of the risks. Are parents who have used IVF at fault? No way! There are so many mainstream options provided to parents that have never received informed consent. Now that we are starting to have a clearer picture, let us pause our desperate hearts to think. What are the risks? What has the greedy collection of millions of desperate parent’s money led these doctors to hide? Or to ignore?

According to a new book by biologist Dr. Francisco Güell (whose fertility research project was funded by the European Union) children conceived through face significantly increased medical risks.

Here are a few:

Imprinting Disorders
•Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome: +480%
•Russell–Silver syndrome: +1030%
•Angelman syndrome: +370%
•Prader–Willi syndrome: +120%

Neonatal / Perinatal Outcomes
•Very low birth weight (

How does this make you feel as a woman planning your birth? Does this make you feel like you are in charge of your body and your birth, or does this make you feel like the doctors do not value your input? When money, policies, and hospital procedure gets in the way of comfort, safety, and having a less medicated birth, then we have to rethink the way we have framed birth. A mother’s felt safety is not secondary to the birth, it is vital.

"We are not a birth plan accommodating practice." Thanks for letting us know you will ignore patient autonomy & wishes. When you could actually, you know, just discuss the birth plan with the patient...

Families need to be informed of the risks involved in limiting their fertility. While this is often considered an easy option to prevent conception, it can take a big toll on a man’s health.

I’m making bone broth today! This is the process of skimming the foam off the broth as it is coming to a boil. As soon as it begins to boil, I switch it to a simmer for the rest of the process.

So many doctors think of cesareans as an easier option and women begin to think of it as easier than experiencing labor. However, is it really easy? Our bodies are complex, and a c-section is major surgery. While we will always be thankful for cesareans as an emergency option when necessary, we should always be encouraging women against a c-section when it is not necessary. Labor is better for the baby, and a regular delivery is also better for mama’s body and her recovery. I’m also a mama who ended up with a cesarean, but I now equip mothers with the tools to avoid them if at all possible. Knowledge is power.

Have you ever considered that your body needs to be fully nourished to be able to pass on all those nutrients and building blocks to your growing baby in the womb? Not always, but sometimes infertility can be explained by the body lacking the nutrient reserves to support a healthy growing baby. This also relates to hormones. A woman’s body will not have the right hormones if she does not have the right nutrition. This can be a really important stepping stone to fertility.

“You can’t build a healthy baby on a depleted foundation.”
— Morley Robbins, Founder of The Root Cause Protocol

Women are taught to prepare for pregnancy with checklists.
Prenatals. Lab work. Maybe a diet tweak or two.

But what almost no one talks about is the mineral debt most women are already carrying — long before that positive test.

👉 Years of stress.
👉 Birth control.
👉 Poor soil.
👉 Ultra-processed food.
👉 Over-the-counter supplements that deplete rather than replenish.

By the time many women conceive, their mineral tanks — especially magnesium, copper, and retinol — are already running on empty.

And then comes pregnancy…
A time of miraculous creation — that pulls everything from the mother to grow that little life.

As Morley says:
“Pregnancy is a mineral-intensive event. And if those minerals aren’t present, the mother will give what she has — and pay the price with her own health.”

Fatigue. Hair loss. Depression. Anxiety. Thyroid issues.

These aren’t just “postpartum things” to be endured.

They’re signs of mineral depletion — and the body asking for help.

✨ This is why the Root Cause Protocol is so powerful.

It’s not a band-aid.
It’s a roadmap to restore the very minerals that support life — for both mother and baby.

The RCP gently nourishes and rebuilds with:
✔️ Magnesium — to calm the body and support over 3,700 enzymes
✔️ Retinol (true vitamin A) — to activate copper and regulate gene expression
✔️ Bioavailable copper — for energy, immune function, and iron regulation
✔️ Whole food vitamin C — to support collagen, adrenal health, and mineral movement

Before conception, during pregnancy, and in postpartum recovery — minerals matter more than we’ve been told.

💛 Your body isn’t failing you.

It’s simply asking for deeper nourishment.
Not synthetic quick fixes — but the building blocks of true vitality.
If you’re a woman preparing for pregnancy, growing life, or healing after birth — this message is for you.

You deserve support that honors the whole you.

Start with the Root Cause Protocol.
It’s not just about health — it’s about legacy.

I had not thought about the risks of a seatbelt on mama and baby during an accident. I saw an advertisement for a product that I think would be clearly helpful during an accident for a pregnant mama. I’ll post it below and I am not associated with this company.

Our Story

It Began The story of Boholistic Mom began about the time that I was pregnant with my son. I started to search for healthier options for my family. Before this point, I had no idea that there were healthy fats and artificial fats. I had never made a connection between food and my health.

After a while of finding organic foods to feed my son and learning what high fructose corn syrup was, my husband and I discovered the Weston A. Price Foundation through Joel Salatin’s website. When we moved to Italy, I used the Nourishing Traditions cookbook and began to make broth for the first time in my life. My life was forever changed as was my health.

The baby weight that I had been carrying from pregnancy faded away as I began to nourish my body with broth, coconut oils, and fresh Italian foods. I normalized to a healthy me and I loved being able to share about real foods and the traditional diets that I was learning about.

Essential Oils and Remedies At this point, I joined Young Living Essential Oils to have new options for my family’s health. Using these oils and other herbal remedies, I became capable of keeping my family well and stopping small issues from becoming large issues. We have not had the need of antibiotics in over four years. God has given us plants that promote wellness, why not use them?
