Is Your Gut Healthy For Pregnancy? + Maria's Story

As we have come to understand disease in the 21st century, our old ways of defining illness based on symptoms and locations in the body are not very useful. Instead, by understanding the origins of disease and the way in which the body operates as one whole, integrated ecosystem, we now know that symptoms appearing in one area of the body may be caused by imbalances in an entirely different system. Everything is connected and the centre of that connection is in the gut.

In today’s episode, I share the importance of optimal gut health for fertility, a gut infection known as Candida and then you’ll hear from my client Maria who is currently making her way through a 12-week anti-candida protocol after her miscarriage. 

Episode Highlights:

• The fertility gut health connection
• How gut infection can contribute to higher rates of pregnancy loss
