Preconception Detox

Due to our current environment we carry around quite a toxic load in our bodies. These chemicals are in turn passed along to our babies in utero or through our breastmilk supply postpartum. It is as important, if not more important, to start thinking about the health of your baby before you become pregnant as it is in utero. If you are thinking about starting a family, it’s a great idea to start thinking about detoxing at least 3 months prior to conception. At Root & Branch, we offer safe and effective preconception detox plans which will leave you more fertile, glowing from the inside out and with peace of mind that your system is prepared to create a healthy and thriving baby.

3 easy steps you can take at home to help with preconception detox

1. Check what's in your skin care and makeup regiment. The skin is the largest organ in the body, it is important to know what we are putting on it.

2. Eat organic. Make sure to eat whole foods as much as possible and limit the amount of processed foods you are intaking, especially foods stored in plastics and cans. Go clean and eat green! Leafy greens and cruciferous veggies like broccoli are a great way to help your liver detox and to insure a healthy bowel movement at least once a day. Clearing up any constipation issues before conception is a must and fairly easy to accomplish, simply adding in magnesium citrate and extra fiber, especially insoluble fiber to your diet can help move things along. As always, be careful as to where you are getting your magnesium supplements because they can contain high amounts of lead and mercury if not sourced from a trusted supplier. Make sure to mix in grass fed, quality proteins and healthy fats as well. Remove any non coffee/tea caffeinated beverages as these can lead to our liver struggling to fully detox and clear estrogens all of the way out of the body.

3. With the growing concerns of health issues in young children it is a great idea to do a heavy metal detox 3 months prior to conception but an easy step to take at home is to use all green cleaning products. Come on in for my preconception detox program!
