She is a passionate advocate for improving prenatal, birth + postpartum care for all. She would like to see access to pelvic physical therapy become normalized throughout the lifecycle for all people, and especially in the postpartum time.

Improving egg quality in pre-conception:

The pathway to conception begins long before we conceive. This is because it takes roughly

three months for an egg to mature within the ovary leading up to ovulation. For those planning

to conceive, there is an opportunity to influence egg quality in the 3 months prior to ovulation.

Some ways to support egg quality include making simple but supportive diet and lifestyle

changes. In the pre-conception time, consuming animal-based protein (including eggs, muscle

and organ meats, organic raw or A2 dairy), reducing processed foods and sugars and other

known inflammatory sources like polyunsaturated fats (like canola oil), and alcohol. Pre-

conception lifestyle changes include include reducing stress, supporting your nervous system

health, and prioritizing quality sleep. Trading in high intensity exercise like HIIT workouts for a

more moderate alternative should also be considered since vigorous exercise is a stressor to

the body. Additional supplements may also be considered and are best used on a individual

basis. I always suggest working with a care provider who specializes in supporting pre-

conception and conception like an acupuncturist or naturopath.

Other supplements I love and use daily to support my female physiology include: *** if you would like the links to any of the below please email us at [email protected]

DISCLAIMER:

Trigger warning: loss, stillbirth and poor birth outcomes are discussed in this podcast

We have many friends in the birthing community, nurses, midwives, doulas, and we see a lot of incredible care.

Please don't be discouraged by this episode. But have a fire lit inside of you that NOW is the time to lean into your intuition and learn about your options for birth.

Our biggest advice to anyone who is newly pregnant, is to do your homework. Don’t wait until your second birth to take control. Learn about the hospital funnels, and what’s on the menu for the choices you are making.

In our experience there can be so much good in the birth world as well, but the power remains in your hands. Better care is available the more empowered you are in your autonomy and choice. Billie sees a clientele of people who have experienced birth trauma and/or who want to birth outside of OHIP covered birth.

Birth trauma is experienced by 1 out of 4 people experiencing birth and this is not ok, we are working to change this. Billie is such an interesting, passionate human and we loved hearing from her experience what is happening in the obstetric system.

Hi!

We are moms, coffee and kombucha lovers, health nuts, doulas, friends, and on this journey to not just survive but to THRIVE.
