Healthy Mama, Happy Baba – our philosophy and introduction to the product

Let’s take a moment to consider everyday life – moving from A to B as quickly as possible, staring endlessly at multiple screens, meeting deadlines or demands, feeling stressed and tired, grabbing food on the hop.…sound familiar?  Sadly, this is the standard pattern of behaviour for many of us.  Yes, some of us may squeeze in an exercise commitment into that pattern, although the reality often is, this exercise takes place in the confines of 4 walls surrounded by more screens!  What’s misplaced in all this is the focus on nourishment, of the body and mind, something many of us are ignoring the importance of. The reality is that nourishment needs to be front and centre at all times. It should be a fairly simple task, but the picture of everyday life depicted leaves little time for this to be the case.  So, when significant life changes or events are on the horizon, we realise we need to change and re-calibrate. At which point, we look to the various areas of nutrition and lifestyle medicine to facilitate these changes. 

Contemplating parenthood and planning for pregnancy, is one such life event, becoming a period of ‘re-set’ for anyone embarking on that journey.  This may start with reducing our intake of processed foods, trying to buffer the effects of stress by joining a yoga class, and re-thinking alcohol behaviours, as well as social commitments. And while these are all positive moves, eating intelligently, viewing food as medicine, and treating your body right, requires more than just a change of mindset. This is where the philosophy of our product is founded.

We firmly believe that while food and lifestyle changes can be made, the quest for optimal health from pre-conception to postpartum requires an extra layer of support- think of it as an extra layer of clothing on a cold day! By their very definition, therapeutic supplements serve to bolster individuals during times of need, when natural resources may not be sufficient. It’s well known that micronutrient (vitamins and minerals) stores, vary according to age, life stage, lifestyle, and health status.  In this case, the monumental changes that take place before, during and after pregnancy.  The reality is food has become less nutritious from changes in agricultural practices leading to intensive farming, to the reduction of nutrient dense vegetables and fruits, to the rise in convenience and, often, overly processed, foods.  So, even if we move to make wiser dietary and lifestyle choices, we won’t always know the exact nutrient content of the foods we are consuming. 

Our product provides you with the opportunity to treat your body right and enhance the nourishing elements for smart nutritional support.  We have mixed superfoods and micronutrients in their most bioavailable form, and probiotics, to ensure a superior product that is 100% organic.  Just one scoop a day will support you optimally during every stage of pregnancy.
