Preconception Care Masterclass

The window encompassing preconception care (PCC) is a unique opportunity to positively influence both fertility and pregnancy outcomes and the long-term health of parents & children.

This is a fundamental area of functional medicine practice. With many patients planning conception in the near or distant future, all practitioners working in general or specialised practice benefit from an advanced understanding of the mechanics required to successfully support individuals and couples trying to conceive (TTC).

 

⏰ Three x 1.5-hour recorded sessions, available for you to watch on demand.
