    This conversation explores the importance of optimizing the first 1000 days of life, from preconception through to postpartum. The speakers discuss the impact of preconception care on health outcomes and the significance of placental health. They also highlight the importance of men's health in fertility and stress management during pregnancy. The conversation emphasizes the role of diet and nutrition during pregnancy and the long-term impact of postpartum health. The speakers conclude by urging women to reject the norm of feeling unwell postpartum and prioritize their lifelong health.

    Takeaways:
    • Preconception care is crucial for optimizing health outcomes for both mother and baby.
    • Placental health plays a significant role in nourishing the baby throughout pregnancy.
    • Men's health has a substantial impact on fertility and the genetic health of offspring.
    • Stress management during pregnancy can promote resilience in both mother and baby.
    • Diet and nutrition during pregnancy can influence the baby's brain development and food preferences.
    • Postpartum care should extend beyond the first six weeks to address tissue healing, breastfeeding, and mental health.
    • Postpartum health has a lifelong impact and should not be accepted as feeling unwell as the norm.
