What if the most important part of pregnancy care actually happens before you're even pregnant? 

Most people start thinking about their health after that positive test, but the time leading up to conception, the preconception period, is just as important, and honestly, often overlooked. It’s a powerful window to support long-term health, not just for the parent and baby, but for future generations too.

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Amy Luu, a board-certified family medicine physician and obesity medicine specialist. I’m lucky enough to work with her at Green Mountain Partners for Health in Colorado, where she cares for patients of all ages. She’s especially passionate about helping women navigate the changes that come before, during, and after pregnancy.

We talk about preparing for pregnancy through health habits, the role of weight and medications, and why things like sleep, nutrition, and even vaccines matter more than people realize.

Topics we cover:
• Preconception Health Basics
• Weight and Fertility
• Medications to Consider
• Preparing as a Couple
• Sleep, Nutrition, and Recovery

Whether you’re actively planning a pregnancy or just curious about how to take better care of your body, this episode is packed with insight and encouragement.

Let’s get into it.
