This is the first episode of Connecting the Dots: Truth Bombs! Today I break down why your health before pregnancy matters more than you might think. I explain why just "feeling great" isn't enough to know what's actually happening in your body and how your health directly impacts your baby's brain development.

I reveal why traditional lab tests might show "normal" results even when something's wrong, and why I recommend preparing 1-2 years before conception by understanding your body chemistry through functional labs.

Whether you're planning for pregnancy or already have children with developmental concerns, it's never too late to make positive changes to your health or your child's.
