"We believe every child bearing couple should have the information and opportunity to take all the necessary and conscious steps to ensure a beautiful, bright and healthy baby."

Enlightened Health stresses the importance of optimal health and well being of both parents prior to conception due to the increased concerned about the causal relationship between modern lifestyle and environment factors on declining fertility, birth complications and infant and baby health.

We have become a society obsessed with “Getting pregnant” that we have overlooked the complications that may arise during and/or after pregnancy due to poor health conditions of the parents prior to conceiving. It is not enough anymore to leave it to Nature to “get it right” because the truth is that in today’s world nature is finding it increasingly difficult to “get it right.”

In the same way that athletes go into training for peak sporting performance, it is essential that couples planning a pregnancy optimize their health and wellbeing for the best possible fertility outcome. The practice of preconception health care has been used for thousands of years, and is experiencing a revival in the face of modern fertility issues.

Preconception health care is a way for both prospective parents to improve their fertility through:

1. Healthy lifestyle
2. Good nutrition
3. Natural treatments
4. Diagnostic care
5. Counseling and relaxation techniques
6. Charting and timing techniques

Preconception health care lays the foundations for the best conception chances and grooms the body, mind and spirit for a healthy, vital pregnancy and birth. The chances of having a healthy conception, pregnancy, birth and baby are highest if both prospective parents take part in the program, lifestyle and dietary protocols are followed and general and reproductive health issues for both parents are resolved to a sufficient degree during this time. It is simple, non-invasive, low technology approach, and basic preventive medicine, which is the best medicine of all.
