Ep 176: The Pre-Pregnancy Prep That Could Prevent Childhood Struggles

Childhood development has become increasingly complex, and today I’m breaking down why. We’re finally able to have open conversations about acetaminophen, vaccines, and environmental toxins affecting our kids’ health.

The statistics are alarming! Autism is up 300% (1 in 36 children), 4 in 10 kids depressed, and 1 in 6 have developmental delays.

Something is clearly wrong.

To help avoid some of these developmental delays we need to consider… What was mom’s health before pregnancy?

My advice? Young couples should spend at least a year preparing their bodies before conceiving. And if your child is showing delays, don’t wait! Patterns become more chronic over time.

The good news? The human body has an incredible capacity to heal. At Connect My Brain, we restore neurological health and development at any age.
