Prenatal Boosters
15 Things for
Better Labor & Delivery
1. Eat 3 Meals a Day
Food builds blood, and blood keeps you strong.
Meal Timing:
- Breakfast before 10 AM
- Lunch before 2 PM
- Dinner before 8 PM
Key things to Remember:
- Eat a variety of foods—your brain loves it! Red meat at least once a day.
- No skipping meals or keto! Skipping slows mitochondria, leads to self-cannibalization (bone loss), and triggers fight-or-flight, causing inflammation, mood swings, fatigue, low libido, and poor sleep. Your brain hates restrictions- it will turn into a 3 year old brat and get moody if it doesn’t get rewarded. It needs blood (food) every 4 hours to absorb nutrients and remove toxins. It needs to look forward to the next meal!
- Chew Your food. Don’t let smoothies be a meal replacement. Sit down, enjoy food and enjoy yourself! Chewing is the only thing that cleans out your brain waste, since there are no muscles for the brain to clean and clear – it banks on you to chew.
2. 1+ Gallon of Water a Day
Believe it or not our skin takes on more oxygen then breathing through our oral airway.
Ozonate your water. The third oxygen molecule attacks toxins inside your body that could be causing inflammation. You can purchase one here:
Ozone being an antimicrobial agent inactivates and kills bacteria, protozoa, yeast, fungi and virus.
P.S. People who get “water toxicity” are not eating 3 meals a day.
3. 2 TBLS of Molasses a Day
Black strap Molasses is the best prenatal supplement out there.
Low in iron or have digestinal diabetes? Your liver, gallbladder and the bile exchange is off. It needs a little help!
Put it in your coffee, pancakes, exchange any sweatner for molasses, or make those gingerbread cookies with a little extra molasses. Recipe page.
- Rich in Nutrients: Molasses is packed with essential vitamins and minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
- Boosts Iron Levels: It’s a good source of iron, helping prevent or treat iron deficiency anemia.
- Supports Bone Health: High calcium content promotes strong bones and teeth.
- Aids Digestion: Molasses contains small amounts of fiber, helping to relieve constipation and improve gut health.
- Natural Sweetener: It’s a healthier alternative to refined sugar with a lower glycemic index, making it better for blood sugar levels.

6. No Kale, Yeast, Odd Milks or Estrogen Filled Foods
No Kale:
Kale kills thyroid gland. Swap with spinach. No Estrogen producing foods such as: Soy, Tofu, Edamame,
Eat red meat every day, veggies and fruit.
No Yeast:
Yeast bloats our guts because it has mold in it.
Mold is dangerous if inhaled, or touched in a close proximity. Mold is everywhere, you can not prevent it. However, why create food like sourdough bread or bear that involves a wild mold collecting process to sit in your mucosoul lining. Speaking from experience, being in and out of IV therapy for a month and a half from Class II mold exposure, I recommend not digesting man made yeast bread on purpose. It might not mess with your stomach today, but after days or months of a continual yeast provoking diet, I recommend putting away the yeast factory jar and switching to other ways of making amazing bread that you can share with family and friends.
Make bread using almond flower (or a favorite nut flour) with water and arrowroot (anti-inflammatory).
All through the Bible, God helps us live healthy by guiding us away from eating yeast. He didn’t create us to stay sick and unhealthy and want to feel like dying. He created us to have a relationship with us. It is hard to serve Him if we are constantly worried about our body or not feeling great. He gives us a way of escape from feeling crummy by recommending some lifestyle choices such as staying away from leaven. He even uses the symbol of leaven to describe a toxicity in the church that needs to be expelled.
Galatians 5; 1 Corinthians 5; Exodus 12; Leviticus 23; Matthew 13; Luke 13
Odd Milks
Most Almond milk has 5 nuts per a carton and water with fake sugar in it.
Most regular milks are processed with JUNK.
Estrogen Filled Foods:
Edemame, soy, tofu, lavender,

7. Walk 20 Minutes A Day
The fastest way to prepare your body for delivering a baby is to walk 20 minutes a day. The set up muscles in the pelvic floor and diaphragm need the pressure from the ground – heal toe heal toe. Treadmills do not have the same effect.
8. Avoid COVID Shedding/Vaccine
Due to gain of function with the COVID vaccine, we have all been in danger of shedding regardless if we got the vaccine. Watch this video to be more informed with what is going on in our world today:
I’ve had pregnant women wobble in with a cane after sitting next to a vaccinated person at church. Their leg was numb and the doctors couldn’t figure out why, so I was the last resort.
I can eliminate the vaccine, but it is best to avoid. Assume everyone is vaccinated unless they tell you.
I can’t hide in a hole all my life, what can I do when I hang out with vaccinated people?

9. Husband Role
The husband is very important during pregnancy and delivery. His touch, logical words and presence stabalize stress hormones and increase the correct release of estrogen, testosterone and progesterone.
Women, do not turn away from anything He provides because our body’s crave the things that God provides (Ezekial 27-28; 1 Timothy 4). One thing God has provided is your husband.
Feel alone? Please note that man does not speak woman. Woman does not speak man. God created man and woman different. If there is dissonance between you both, call out to God and He will form the bridge for you and your husband to be on the same page. Not my idea – see 1 Corinthians 1-2.

10. Prenatal Bodywork
2 Reasons to get weekly or biweekly bodywork during pregnancy:
1. You and the baby are growing fast!
Your body is stretching laterally, pulling all the organs out. Women are created to have babies so the muscles know what they are doing.
2. Help your brain accept you are pregnant.
If you are feeling unmotivated, you need a jumpstart of passive stretch where the therapist stretches for you.
There is nothing worse than having someone tell you to “Get going, pregos.” or “C’mon! you’re having a baby – get with it! Go be active.” BUT you “feel like you can’t” or “Not sure if you’re ready for a baby.”
This is a result of your brain not realizing yet that you are indeed growing a baby! No matter the circumstances, growing a baby is an amazing act of God, the brain just needs to get on board. Do to the “I can’t” message the brain thinks, the body increases too much estrogen or too much testerone based on the woman’s stress level. For example, if a woman does intense exercise she will have too much testerone and if the woman has too much estrogen, she will be easily sensitive or stand offish or “not all there” some might say detattched with a “lazy heart.”
Come in and we can help balance those hormones. After your body understands it just needed a little help with range of motion…it knew it “Always Could!”
3. Stop the Toxic Thinking Physically
Psalm 139
The moment we joke or dislike something about our bodies, we go into “Fight or Flight” and grieve the Holy Spirit, our Creator.
Once this becomes a daily habit, we scar on a micro level in the brain and create small “scar tissue” legs or tendrils through our brains, restricting blood and oxygen which promotes more toxic thinking.
If you have an issue with toxic thinking book an appointment and we can clear out toxicity from rain and body through muscle manipulation and other tools we have.

14. Pleasure
The best labor and delivery stories I’ve heard is full of sexual pleasure with husband, lots of food, lots of naps, walking, and lots and lots of water.
This is true for any task under the sun. If we are not Not enjoying ourselves with any activity under the sun, we people will shut down or go into flight or fight and the more we do this the more depressing our thought life becomes.
Just remember joy of the Lord is our strength is actually true. God rigged it this way, it doesn’t even matter if you believe in Him or not.
Key take aways: Husband, food, naps, joy, walks, laughs, and water.
15. Naps, Sleep and Recovery
Recovery Position: The recovery position is when you lay down and your feet are 45 degrees. Do this often when you come home from being on your feet. Make this a habit.
Naps: Please nap. Make it a nice habit in the afternoon if you can. Do two 20 minute naps a day during the end of the 3rd trimester. Rest, rest, and rest.
Sleep: 9:00pm-7:00am is what is required. How you doing?
