Topics covered often include diet (allergy elimination, increasing nutrient density, education of safe herbs/foods/supplements for each trimester), sleep, exercise, pelvic floor health, stress, Group B Strep testing, glucose tolerance testing, fetal positioning, the microbiome and importance of good bacteria.
