Vitamins & Minerals For Fertility and a Complication Free Pregnancy ft. Margaret Barry

Welcome to the 2nd Episode of the Back to Human podcast.

On this episode we have owner of Faith Mountain Wellness, Margaret Barry. Margaret is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, ISSA Certified Personal Trainer, Master T-Tap Trainer and mother of 2! Margaret became interested in pre-natal nutrition following the pregnancy with her first child that did not go smoothly despite following conventional as well as alternative pre-natal advice. This led her to learning about the work of Dr. Thomas Brewer and inspired the creation of her online course "Minerals & Motherhood", a prenatal nutrition course that Jade & I have been following that we believe has been helping Jade tremendously throughout her pregnancy.

In this episode we discuss:
•The influence vitamins & minerals have on fertility.
•How vitamins & minerals can help to alleviate common pregnancy complications (mood swings, cravings, swelling, morning sickness) so you can have a more enjoyable pregnancy. •Nutrient dense foods that help you obtain these vitamins & minerals.
•Vitamin E, the anti-sterility vitamin.
•Recommendations for supplementation during pregnancy.
•Anemia, vitamin A (retinol), copper and why iron supplementation may not be the best recommendation.
•Preeclampsia & blood volume
