A paradigm-shifting book from an experienced doctor, a witness to the impact of environmental exposures on health.
The answer lies in detoxifying before conception.
What we once took for granted – an easy conception and a child coming into this world with robust health – are no longer guarantees for many women.
The information in this book will help empower a new generation of moms to identify and remove obstacles to conceiving and to lowering your and your baby’s toxic burden.
If you are contemplating conception, if you are in the planning stages of pregnancy, or if you are in between pregnancies, this essential guide will help you understand all that is necessary for a successful pregnancy outcome. It will help reduce the lifelong impact of chemical exposures and help create the foundation of a healthier neurologic terrain beginning in utero.
After a problem arises, resources for help are usually available. This book offers an opportunity to prevent problems before they arise. Here you will find fundamental principles for living a life of detoxification that will help give your future children a strong foundation, reduce their risk of being born with conditions related to toxic exposure, and build the basics for a healthy life.
