Growing a baby is one of the most physiologically demanding things your body will ever do.
Whether you are thinking about trying to conceive, already pregnant, or navigating the tender months after birth, your body deserves thoughtful, personalized support.
Before You Conceive: Preparing the Terrain
Conception does not begin the day you see a positive test.
It begins months before.
Egg quality, sperm quality, microbiome balance, nutrient stores, detox capacity, blood sugar regulation, thyroid function — all of these influence fertility, pregnancy resilience, and your baby’s long-term health.
A functional nutrition approach to preconception focuses on:
• Replenishing nutrient stores (iron, B12, folate, choline, iodine, zinc, DHA)
• Balancing blood sugar and supporting metabolic flexibility
• Optimizing thyroid and hormone signaling
• Reducing inflammation and addressing gut imbalances
• Supporting liver detox pathways gently and appropriately
• Improving microbiome diversity and resilience
• Identifying environmental stressors that may affect fertility
This is not a “fertility protocol.”
It’s foundational physiology.
When the body feels safe and nourished, it is more likely to ovulate consistently, support implantation, and sustain pregnancy.
Preparing the Microbiome for Baby
Your baby’s first immune system is shaped by you.
During vaginal birth, your baby is seeded with your vaginal and gut bacteria. During pregnancy, microbial metabolites cross the placenta. After birth, your breastmilk continues to shape immune development.
Your microbiome influences:
• Immune programming
• Risk of eczema and allergies
• Metabolic health
• Gut barrier development
• Even long-term neurological resilience
Preparing your microbiome before conception can significantly reduce susceptibility to future health challenges.
This may include:
• Addressing dysbiosis or overgrowth
• Increasing beneficial strains like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus
• Supporting gut barrier integrity
• Reducing chronic low-grade inflammation
• Improving digestive function and nutrient absorption
This is long-term thinking.
This is generational health.
During Pregnancy: Supporting the Physiological Load
Pregnancy is not an illness. But it is metabolically intense.
Blood volume expands.
Nutrient demands increase.
Insulin sensitivity shifts.
Thyroid needs change.
The immune system recalibrates.
A functional approach during pregnancy may support:
• Stable blood sugar to reduce gestational diabetes risk
• Adequate protein and micronutrient intake
• Iron status and ferritin optimization
• Thyroid monitoring
• Gut health and reflux support
• Constipation, nausea, and food aversions
• Nervous system regulation and stress resilience
This is about strengthening the system while it is working overtime.
No restrictive diets.
No overwhelm.
No fear-based messaging.
Just strategic, stage-appropriate support.
Postpartum A.K.A The Fourth Trimester: The Forgotten Phase
In many ways, postpartum is the most vulnerable period.
Nutrient depletion.
Sleep disruption.
Hormone shifts.
Blood loss.
Immune recalibration.
Postpartum care is not just about mood. It is about rebuilding.
Support may include:
• Replenishing iron and mineral stores
• Supporting thyroid function
• Blood sugar stabilization
• Addressing hair loss and fatigue
• Gut repair after antibiotics or C-section
• Nervous system support
• Gradual reintroduction of exercise and metabolic rebuilding
This phase is not six weeks long.
It is often a full year of recalibration.
This is for women and birthing persons who are:
🌡️ Planning to conceive in the next 3–12 months
• Experiencing irregular cycles or suboptimal labs
• Recovering from miscarriage and wanting to strengthen your foundation
🤰🏽Pregnant and wanting individualized support
• Navigating postpartum depletion, anxiety, fatigue, or digestive changes
• Wanting to reduce your child’s long-term susceptibility to chronic illness
Working together
This is iterative work, designed for the realities of leadership.
When physiology has adapted to years of pressure, meaningful change happens through careful, phased adjustments over time. The focus is on restoring stability in a way that fits ongoing responsibility, not stepping away from it.
This work typically begins with a three-month engagement, designed to establish stability and a clear physiological foundation. Support can extend from there as needed.
If this feels aligned, let’s explore next steps together.
The experience behind my work
I’ve been there.
Before my work shifted toward health and physiology, I founded and ran companies, including leading a tech company for over six years as a solo founder in another country. I carried the responsibility of leadership, decision-making, and investor expectations firsthand.
From the outside, I appeared capable and composed. Internally, the pressure was accumulating quietly in my body. I carried the weight of investor capital, questioned my confidence as a leader, and lived in a near-constant state of physiological stress.
I experienced the realities of the tech founder lifestyle: limited sleep, irregular meals, high-stakes conversations, public speaking, and sustained cognitive pressure. Over time, this created layers of dysfunction that built gradually and largely unnoticed. It wasn’t until pregnancy and postpartum that my health began to unravel in ways I could no longer ignore.
I understand the loneliness of leadership — and how difficult it can be to find health support that respects both your intelligence and the realities of high-responsibility roles. Many leadership-related health patterns fall between the cracks of conventional care.
This work exists because I lived that intersection and couldn’t find the support I needed. I had to learn how to stabilize my own health at the biological level. Now, I bring that knowledge to support women who build and lead, so their health, resilience, and longevity are part of the foundation — not the cost.
