In a brief interview, Dr. Wendie Trubow outlines three immediate actions for individuals looking to ready their bodies for a healthy pregnancy. First, she stresses adopting a clean, nutrient‑dense diet as the foundational step. Second, she recommends building fertility‑supportive nutrient stores through targeted supplementation and detox protocols, including liposomal glutathione, binders, and liver support, tailored to the person’s budget. Third, she advises minimizing environmental toxin exposure by filtering drinking water, using a HEPA air filter, and scrutinizing personal care products with tools like the Environmental Working Group (EWG) database. The conversation also notes that stress management is an important, though separate, area to address for overall reproductive health.

Do you have a top 3 list for people who wanna prepare their body for healthy pregnancy and they're like, I don't know where to start. Do you have sort of top 3 things for things they can take away and go, okay, do these top 3 things right away?
Yeah. Top 3 things. Number 1 is the clean diet. Lay that foundation. Number 2 is depending on what your budget is, start supplementing. Really build up your nutrient stores with really good fertility fuel. So it's got a lot of the things in it that help with fertility and the nutrient stores, but do the detox, do the liposomal glutathione, the binders, the liver support. And number 3, clean up your environment as much as possible. And that would include filtering your water, having an air filter, good HEPA air filter at night, and then start working on the things in your environment and that you put on your body through looking at Environmental Working Group or one of the apps that really help you to know, 'cause that's another surprising place that people are getting toxins that they don't realize is what they're using on a daily basis on their skin and their, and their hair.
And then I think most of us really need something to work on stress.
