Hey, everybody. Welcome to this week's episode of Red Pill Your Healthcast. My name is Dr. Charlie Faganholz

and here with Lauren Johnson, FNP. And we're going to be talking about pregnancy this week. And this is a podcast

that we can really take so many different ways. And so we thought that we would just kind of outline

some of the most common questions people have and just have a general, a genuine general conversation on the topic of pregnancy. So let's jump right in.

Lauren, where do you want to start? I have some notes. Is there anything that you're called to start with or should I just start going down the list?

Well, I think let's talk about the basics

first. I think that people will jump to what should I be taking or what should I be doing,

what should I be buying. But also, you know, the most important thing that you can think about is the state of your nervous

system and like the foods that you're putting in your body and just really thinking about

nourishment, not like nourishing your body, nourishing your adrenals and really just being

mindful of your daily rhythms. That, it's a, a I mean it's a mostly free thing obviously food

is not free definitely not today um but it is it is something that it is we take it for granted

all these little things that what we say to do but they're super important um if you are waking up and immediately, and I'm guilty

of this too, and immediately grabbing your phone and that just gets you into the state of alert,

that can really affect the way the rest of the day goes. And so maybe say, okay, I'm going to

be super mindful of this and just start preparing my body to be able to rest more and to nourish it well.

Yeah, I think that that's a good starting place for this because some of the stuff we're going to talk about later in this podcast actually are prevented by what you do prior to getting pregnant.

And so, as Lauren said, the basics need to be in place, right?

You want good sunshine.

You want good water.

You want good mental space.

You want to be able to disconnect.
