ABOUT THIS BOOK
There is nothing more precious than a new life. The excitement of conception turns into wonder as the tiny speck inside a woman’s womb grows into a baby. Our wonder does not diminish as we watch that baby grow into a toddler, learning how to walk and navigate its way through life. Giving the gift of life is an honour, and it is our responsibility to ensure the child we create has every possible opportunity to lead a long and healthy life.
Making a baby sounds relatively simple—egg plus sperm and, about forty weeks later, a baby is born. For many couples this dream seems unachievable and can lead to feelings of inadequacy and bitter disappointment. In Australia between 15 and 18 per cent of couples are infertile, with about one in six couples experiencing fertility issues and up to 25 per cent of all pregnancies ending in miscarriage. Whether you are seeking to conceive naturally, with the help of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) or in vitro fertilisation (IVF), or with the help of a surrogate or donor, the information in this book will greatly assist in you achieving that dream. If you have been experiencing any fertility issues, this book will provide answers and tools to help you achieve your dream of having a baby.
But How to have a Healthy Baby deals with more than fertility—it’s about having a healthy baby. It’s about helping you understand the impacts of our modern way of life, including environmental toxins, stress, lifestyle, and low-nutrient diets, on fertility and conception. This book will give you power through understanding the role you play in, not only conceiving but also nourishing your baby while in utero, birthing a healthy child, and ensuring that child grows into a healthy adult. The book is divided into three sections—preparation, conception and pregnancy, and birth. Each section explains easy steps you can take to support your health, optimise fertility, and have a healthy baby.
Conversations with My Daughter: How to have a Healthy Baby is an illuminating journey into the workings of the human body and how we all have the power to give ourselves and our children the best chance at health and vitality.
FOREWORD
Raising healthy children is the most important job in the world. No other act has a more permanent, lasting impact on the world around us than does the raising of children. In the natural sciences, we judge the health of animal populations by the productivity and success of the parents in raising healthy offspring. It is easy to understand, and simple to observe, that a species that struggles to successfully breed and produce offspring is a species under threat. This is something grade school children the world over learn about our natural world. And yet it’s an idea we take for granted and one that too often goes unexamined. For some reason, we tend to think that producing healthy offspring in animals is somehow different than the conceiving, birthing, and raising of children. But is it really that different?
As humans, we sit atop creation with an unmatched set of problem-solving tools, language, art, and cognitive ability. Yet, on the biological and cellular level, we are still very much an animal. So, when we look at the challenges facing our species—the human family—in the same way we look at a species of frog or bird of prey, we can see some very concerning warning signs. We are experiencing rapid increases in the rates of infertility in women, while the levels of testosterone and sperm, markers of biological male fitness, are in a state of rapid decline. Children are struggling with chronic diseases and challenging diagnoses that were unheard of just a generation prior. Kids are experiencing stroke, cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, sensory processing disorders, and allergies at levels beyond anything we have ever seen before.
The answer to this epidemic of sick children and frustrated and broken-hearted parents is to get healthy before you get pregnant. The way to do that in today’s stressful, toxic world is to optimise the terrain inside your own body. You don’t have to get a PhD in nutrition, genetics, or biochemistry, but you do have to relearn some things and unlearn some others. The methylation pathway, and the MTHFR gene, is probably the most important pathway for moms-to-be (and dads-to-be) to optimise before they start a family. Luckily, you will learn about this and many other related ideas in the pages to come.
This book is an important guide for moms and dads to make the important, long-lasting changes necessary to promote an optimum pregnancy. We all want to have healthy children, but that healthy child first starts with a healthy pregnancy. This epidemic of infertility and childhood illness share a common cause of stress, toxicity, and malnutrition. And if this common cause is addressed by responsible parents-to-be before starting a family, massive positive changes can be made to alleviate the risks of these frustrating health problems.
Lastly, if it was easy, everyone would do it! How many people do you know who began to detoxify their bodies and improve their nutrition, reduce their stress, optimise their sleep and exercise, and do a dozen other healthy habits every day … six months before they even started trying to have a family? Probably not very many. We need parents to put the work in early, before conception, throughout the pregnancy and into the early years. If you follow the information in this book, we can create a world full of healthy children, moms, and dads. And that is a world worth working towards.

INTRODUCTION
This book has been many years in the making. When my eldest daughter moved back home in her late twenties, we were able to spend more time together. All too often while chatting over breakfast, she asked why I didn’t write a book to share my knowledge. I had never considered myself an author, so I dismissed this suggestion. However, as the years passed and I witnessed with great sadness the ever-growing incidence of poor health—particularly in children—the seed began to sprout.
It is heart-wrenching to witness a baby, toddler, or child suffering due to ill health. During the past twenty years in clinic, I have witnessed far too many young children suffering with pain or inability to do things their friends can do.
So, here I go with the book suggested by my beaut
