Approximately seventy-four percent of American women are lacking proper nutrients in their diet. The effects of this level of depletion may not be apparent in your current state of health, but at some moment in time down the genetic chain someone in your family will suffer from this level of loss. Our genome has been maltreated for too many years, which may be the cause of the massive reproduction issues we are now experiencing.
Each generation will suffer more if we don’t start to pay closer attention to our body’s needs. It is only natural that we will start to see more problems with health in years to come, as individuals will likely begin to physically age faster, suffer emotionally and develop diseases at higher rates. In order to protect your children, you not only need to eat right, but you also must consider spacing your children or fully replenishing your nutrient levels between each pregnancy.

In the Western culture, it is common for women to have babies later in life. As a result of this, if they choose to have multiple children, they are birthing them closer together. This does not allow for their bodies to build back proper nutrient reserves, which affects the child’s genome and the mother’s health. Catherine Shanahan explained in her book, Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Nutritional Food, that the fetus behaves similar to a parasite within the womb and is oblivious to the health of the host. The baby will take whatever it needs in order to survive. You will possibly have enough nutrients for your first baby, but will likely be depleted after having more children if you don’t renew your level of health. The women of some tribal cultures naturally understood this. They used to attempt to separate their children by three to four years in order to ensure that their bodies would have enough time to nutritionally build themselves back up. They did this naturally to protect the health of their future generations and their genome.
1. List all your traumas or dramas between the ages of zero and twelve (if your mother has told you stories about negative events that happened while you were in utero, list those too as they can be addressed in the same way).
2. Rescue your inner child and begin to mother her. This can be done at one age or multiple ages. You can find this child in any memories that still haunt you or in memories left unhealed.
3. Take some time to tell this child that you love her and she is not alone. Hold her and make sure she knows how cared for she is. You can even hold a pillow while doing this. Allow any tears to flow or screams to arise.
“Imagine that the world had created a new ‘dream product’ to feed and immunize everyone born on earth. Imagine also that it was available everywhere, required no storage or delivery, and helped mothers plan their families and reduce the risk of cancer. Then imagine that the world refused to use it.”

From my own experience and background in helping many women learn to breastfeed, I have created a “go to” list for new and experienced mothers with the best tips on breastfeeding. This list includes all the information I wish I had been given prior to the birth of my children and has been very valuable to the patients I have worked with and my friends. Despite my background in medicine, when I had my children, I had a lot of unanswered questions, because it takes time and effort.
Below you will find information on breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, pumping, growth spurts, and how to handle your baby’s fussy periods. Breastfeeding is a sacred time that allows you to bond with your baby. It also provides the very best nutrients for your baby’s growth and immune system. If you are on the fence about breastfeeding, attempt it for as long as you possibly can to see how it feels, and then make your decision after researching both the pros and cons.
As many as 1 in 10 women in the United States have a condition known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This health problem can affect a women’s menstrual cycle and fertility. It is one of the most common reasons for ovulatory infertility and affects between 5 and 10 percent of women.
PCOS is not a disease, it is a syndrome with many signs and symptoms that stem from underlying problems. Common symptoms include: irregular or non-existent menstrual periods, excess facial and body hair and enlarged ovaries with many small resting follicles (which your doctor will see on ultrasound). PCOS also creates a heightened risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
According to Bruce Lipton, author of The Biology of Belief, a cell’s life is controlled by its physical and energetic environment with only a small portion managed by its genes. He discovered this while working with cells in petri dishes. When he created a healthy environment for cells they thrived. When he did not they struggled. By readjusting the conditions for the cells in his petri dishes he could make sick cells well again. This ultimately means that cells are responsive, and change according to their environmental signals.
Understanding this is critical before you become pregnant because it means that the cells within your growing fetus, which are quadrupling and massive rate every second, can be programmed. This is something that the ancient yogis have always known, but now science is catching up. Environmental signals that affect cells are thoughts, beliefs, emotions and nutrition because all of these things are a form of energy. Bruce Lipton’s discovery was a game changer because it was the beginning of the merge between the fields of science and Spirit.
