Welcome to “The Emergent Human” where we explore Optimizing Health, Embodied Spirituality and Post Conventional Living.

Ostrolenk speaks with Abby Hand, a Preconception Health Consultant based in beautiful Austin, Texas. Abby describes her early-career journey through the conventional medical world, an overall chalenging experience that led her to approach her own pregnancy from a different, holistic, avenue. She found her pregnancy experience to be overwhelmingly positive and healing and she contrasts this with experiences she had while working in the conventional system. Determined to help support a healthier health care system, Abby founded Hand Wellness, which specializes in helping women and couples prepare for pregnancy through positive lifestyle change and health optimization. Abby guides clients using biometric tracking and epigenetic data, and incorporates current research, traditional medicine, and natural philosophies into her coaching. In her conversation with Ostrolenk, Abby details how she works with clients, including her approach to diets, sperm health, physical activity, stress reduction, and more.
