preconception care

बच्चा पैदा करने के लिए ज्यादातर सलाहे मां के हिस्से ही आती हैं। ये खाओ वो नहीं ऐसा करो वैसा नहीं… लेकिन पुरुष को क्या करना चाहिए इस बारे में बात कम होती है। बच्चे के लिए मां-पिता दोनों सा सेहतमंद होना जरूरी है, ऐसे में दोनों को अपनी सेहत का ख्याल रखना चाहिए। उम्र के साथ पुरुषों के स्पर्म्स की सेहत (Sperm health) में बदलाव आता है, संख्या कम होती है और गुणवत्ता भी… ऐसे में जरूरी है कुछ बातों का ख्याल रखा जाए

Dr Lisa Matriste is a retired, Australian dentist who graduated with Honours from the University of Queensland Dental School in 1986 and is the founder of Laser + Holistic Dental in Melbourne.

Dr Lisa’s interest as a dental practitioner has been, for the last 30 years, embracing advanced technological developments and incorporating these into holistic dentistry, creating “ a unique, science based approach to dentistry.”

Dr Lisa promotes healthy and sustainable practices and has practised mercury-free dentistry for over 30 years. Dr Lisa is also the founder of Say No to Mercury. This organisation is a member of the United Nations Global Mercury Partnership.

Dr Lisa uses her knowledge to lobby Australian and international governments and the World Health Organization to adopt progressive health policies that include accelerating the phase-out of mercury dental amalgam fillings.

Dr Lisa has developed clinical protocols offering health solutions that significantly benefit patients’ general health and well‐being beyond the conventional ‘drill, fill and bill’ approach. Dentistry has been the foundation by which she has helped people to transform their lives. Dr Matriste desires to transfer her knowledge to the next generation and beyond in this new stage of her career.

In this Episode, Dr Lisa and I discuss the difference between conventional and traditional dentistry versus biological and holistic dentistry, we chat about the toxic effects of mercury to human health and our environment, also the importance of safely removing mercury amalgams, we dive into how root canals could be impacting our overall health, Dr Lisa talks about the importance of preconception care from a dental perspective and we also talk about how frequencies and sound therapy could enhance ones dental experience. It was an absolute honour and privilege to have this conversation with Dr Lisa and bring awareness to many unknown dental problems and hidden dental infections that could be contributing to chronic conditions and illness – there is truly so much to take away from this episode, you’ll want to get a pen and paper and take notes for this one!

The Root Cause Medicine Podcast is a weekly one-on-one conversation with renowned medical experts, specialists, and pioneers who are influencing the way we look at our health and wellbeing. This week we’re joined by Dr. Kalea Wattles, Associate Director of Curriculum at The Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM). In this episode, Dr. Kalea Wattles explains all about reproductive longevity, including the fertility span, testing for fertility, and how to slow down ovarian aging. Dr. Kalea Wattles is an accomplished naturopathic doctor, certified functional medicine practitioner, and a renowned fertility expert. Her approach to helping women conceive and maintain pregnancies is based on the functional medicine philosophy. Key Takeaways: Focusing on reproductive longevity It's a human-specific phenomenon to experience a decline in fertility potential around middle age. This could be attributed to the "grandmother hypothesis," where women lose their fertility at a young age to allocate time and energy to taking care of their offspring. Nevertheless, losing reproductive potential has broader implications for various bodily systems, such as reduced bone mineral density and cognitive function, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, it's essential to prioritize reproductive longevity to not only ensure successful pregnancies now, but also promote long-term health and vitality. Understanding lifespan, healthspan, and fertility span Lifespan is the total duration of a person's life, from birth to death. Healthspan, on the other hand, refers to the period of life during which an individual is in good health and free from chronic diseases or disabilities. It's a measure of function rather than a measure of time. The fertility span is the period during which an individual is capable of reproducing, and it refers to the health of the ovaries, regular ovulation, hormone production that protects your bones and brain, and the nervous system. Normal versus pathological ovarian aging Women's ovaries naturally age, leading to a decline in function that culminates in the menopausal transition, usually occurring in the early fifties. This process is a normal part of aging and occurs regardless of a woman's overall health. However, some women experience an acceleration in ovarian aging, resulting in a decrease in ovarian reserve, which can lead to infertility. This can occur even if the woman is still having menstrual cycles and normal hormone levels. Premature ovarian insufficiency is another condition in which the ovaries exhibit perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms, such as irregular periods, even in younger women. Oxidative stress and inflammation Oxidative stress and inflammation are the two biggest contributors to ovarian aging. Oxidative stress is when the body experiences a buildup of compounds that can damage DNA. It can be from having a high sugar diet, environmental toxin exposures, chronic inflammation, or a low intake of dietary antioxidants. Inflammation can come from lots of different sources. Periodontal disease is a significant contributor to inflammation in the reproductive system. But it can also come from food sensitivities, intestinal hyperpermeability, or leaky gut. It's crucial to acknowledge the interconnectivity of all the systems in our body, as each one can impact the others. Therefore, when a woman intends to get pregnant, she must ensure that all her bodily systems are in proper working order and balance. Slowing ovarian aging Be mindful of your diet and reduce sources of advanced glycation. This means cutting back on fried and baked foods and focusing on consuming more antioxidant-rich foods. In addition to dietary changes, it's also important to consider lifestyle factors such as exercise, stress management, and adequate sleep. Also, regularly test.
