Uplift For Her

Episode 54: Prepping the Body for Pregnancy with Jennifer Falkner


Listen Later

Episode 54 - Jennifer Falkner, Uplift for Her Nurse Practitioner, joins us to talk about the often-overlooked but critical window of preconception care—what women (and their partners!) can do before pregnancy to improve outcomes during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

We dive deep into the Uplift for Her approach to preconception health, offering a refreshingly proactive model that focuses on working upstream—long before pregnancy complications arise. Whether you’re thinking about getting pregnant in the next year, supporting a daughter or friend through the journey, or navigating recovery between pregnancies, this episode is full of practical insights and empowering advice.

What we cover: 

  • Why conventional preconception care often falls short
  • How optimizing health before pregnancy can prevent complications like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and postpartum depletion
  • What the research says (and doesn’t say) about preconception health—and why we shouldn’t wait for perfect data to act.
  • Resources mentioned:

    • Prenatal vitamin brands: Thorne, Pure Encapsulations, Needed
    • Uplift for Her’s Six Pillars of Health handout
    • Functional lab work options for Vitamin D, iron, B12, thyroid, and more
    • Thanks for listening!
