Thinking About Pregnancy?

Have you thought about preconception care to help with hormone balance and fertility? Brenda M. Guan, ND, owner of the fertility and women’s health practice, Balanced Natural Heal, shares a case study of a couple who sought out preconception care before trying to conceive.

Did you know? Infertility affects 1 in 8 couples trying to conceive.

One of the things I love about naturopathic preconception care is that a couple can find pertinent information and support before trying to conceive in order to optimize health in preparation for conception. Preconception care is one of the best ways to support the likelihood of pregnancy, while also offering children and families the best possible chance for a healthy future.

Infertility now impacts 1 in 8 couples trying to conceive. Infertility is diagnosed when a couple has not achieved a pregnancy after one year of attempting to conceive or at six months if the couple is 35 or older. Waiting a whole year before receiving a diagnosis and care can lead to unnecessary stress, and concern. Naturopathic preconception care can reduce the lengthy waiting and naturopathic medicine helps couples who have already been struggling to have a baby for some time.

Easiest Ever Old-Fashioned Graham Cracker Cookies

Image
These Graham Cracker Cookies are a simple, yummy, and quick dessert: Just spread rich chocolate buttercream between store-bought graham crackers. I figured these graham cracker cookies were the brainchild of my mom, whenever she happened to have leftovers from frosting a cake. Then she told me her mom made them too–and when she packed them in my mom’s lunch, she was embarrassed because the other girls had store-bought cookies, (still, she secretly loved them). Then I posted a photo of these cookies on social media and found out that a whole bunch of you ate these as a kid too. Growing up, we didn’t really have a name for this graham cracker dessert. Now that I make them for my kids, we call them Icebox Cookies because they’re kept in the refrigerator. You might also like: The BEST No-Bake Cookies This is not a complicated cookie.
