About this episode

Are You Menstrual? –
In this episode, I am joined by Loren de la Cruz or you may know her as @innatefunctionalnutrition on Instagram to share knowledge on how to prepare your body for conception. Loren is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Root Cause Protocol Consultant, and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner that specializes in preconception nutrition. Her mission is to empower women with the tools and the knowledge they need to regulate their cycles, balance their hormones, heal their metabolism, optimize their fertility, and have a thriving pregnancy.
Preparing for pregnancy is such an important time, but can also be confusing. Our goal today is to help you understand what is most important to focus on and dispel some common preconception myths.
