Your pregnant! Amazing!
Now what? What's safe during pregnancy? What should you eat more of or less of? Is Kombucha okay? Sushi? Sandwich meat? Ice cream? How much protein, carbs, and fiber should you consume? How do you balance eating enough to gain the right amount of weight without overdoing it? What about artificial sweeteners? And how can you optimize digestion through diet?
Pregnancy brings up a flood of questions. This workshop aims to take out the guesswork and teach simple, effective principles that can be applied throughout your pregnancy, your life, and for your entire family.

Is ozone therapy safe in pregnancy?
In pregnancy it is difficult to say whether something is safe or not as it is unethical to test on pregnant moms. When referring to ozone the same can be applied; however, ozone is a molecule that is found naturally in the body, which does provide some reassurance. It has also being used to prevent miscarriage, strengthen the placenta, treat infections related to pregnancy, anemia, toxicity in pregnancy, and any inflammation present. Below are a few resources to help you decide if ozone is right for you.

Efficacy of ozone and other treatment modalities for retained placenta in dairy cows: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22594457
Ozone hemo- and antioxidant therapy and endogenous intoxication in gestosis (toxicity): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10672715/
Morphofunctional changes in the placenta after ozone therapy: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11140595/
Keep in mind many scientific journals look at issues of a pregnant mom's breathing in ozone, which is dangerous (especially if it comes with polluted air). However, when it is administered through insulflation or via the blood it is much safer.

Is IV therapy safe in pregnancy?
During pregnancy it can be difficult to get proper nutrition whether this is due to constant vomiting, lack of nutrient intake, or high stress levels. Dehydration is another big issue and if prolonged it can have detrimental effects on the baby. IV therapy can be very beneficial not only for the mother, but also for the baby and its development.
