PART 3 of 3:
As we conclude our series on shifting the idea that fertility and pregnancy complications as ONLY being impacted by mom’s health, we want to continue the important role dad’s health plays as well!
There are practical things we can do to see the opportunity to improve health that influences pregnancy health and outcomes.
Here are some basic items to begin incorporating;
👀Focus on S***m Health - it can take 90 days for s***m to mature, change your habits, limit hot tubs, saunas, laptop use on your lap
🥦Eat Like it Matters (because it does!) - prioritize whole foods, nutrient dense, high in antioxidants and low inflammatory (sugars, processed foods, poor quality oils)
🧪Reduce toxins - these can be major endocrine disruptors found in fragrances, soaps and lotions, BPAs/plastics, clothing materials, pesticides, water and foods. Support your detox pathways, focus on hydration and open windows regularly
😴Support Sleep and Reduce Stress - aim for 7-9 hours of sleep a night, cut back on screens before bed, incorporate body movement, use breathwork and create down time
🚫 Avoid - Smoking, va**ng, excess alcohol, frequent exposure to pesticides, heavy metals
