Pregnancy Wellness & Prevention
Pregnancy Wellness & Autism Prevention: A Functional Medicine Approach
Whether you’re planning for your first child or hoping to prevent challenges in future pregnancies, taking steps toward a healthier pregnancy begins before conception. At my clinic, we focus on optimizing your body, reducing environmental risks, and supporting your unique genetics—because prevention starts long before birth.
Why Preconception Care Matters
Rising rates of autism, ADHD, asthma, and developmental delays are a growing concern for parents. Many women—especially those with a child already diagnosed—are seeking ways to support the healthiest pregnancy possible for future children. Preconception care is about optimizing the environment both inside and outside the body before conception ever happens.
Genetics & Methylation Support
Genetic variations, especially in methylation pathways (like MTHFR), can influence how your body processes nutrients critical for brain development. Research shows that mothers of children with autism were significantly more likely to have poor methylation and not take prenatal vitamins around conception.
Environmental & Nutritional Detox
Toxins and deficiencies can affect fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and fetal development. That’s why I test for:
Heavy metals and environmental toxins
Nutritional deficiencies
Gut infections (like Candida or bacterial imbalances)
Hormonal imbalances
When needed, I create a personalized detox and replenishment plan to prepare your body for a healthy pregnancy.
Take a Preventative Approach to Pregnancy
Whether you’re trying to conceive or already expecting, we can help you support your body and your baby naturally.
Wellness During Pregnancy
Many women also come to me during pregnancy to maintain optimal health. I help monitor nutrient levels through blood and urine testing and guide women in selecting the safest, most effective supplements.
For severe pregnancy nausea, I offer IV therapy with vitamins and hydration—often providing quick, noticeable relief.
