The old way of thinking was that when a fertilised egg (which has DNA which is 50% not your own) implants, it is a result of ‘suppression’ of the immune system. Without this, the body would see ‘foreign cells’ and reject it. Sort of like what happens when you…
We know that despite the growing evidence that Vitamin D is crucial for many critical functions in the body, globally many people remain deficient. We are also fast realising that having enough is key for conception, hormonal health, immunity and even brain/central nervous system development. Important stuff!…

This article looks at the supplement DHA and why it is crucial to take during pregnancy. We look at it’s power against chronic inflammation, why that is such a crucial thing to fight particularly during pregnancy and how it can be a powerful tool for your baby’s brain…
