The Pregnancy-Ready Nutrient Formula
A Ground-Breaking Nutrition Course For Women Planning to Conceive Soon
Discover how 6 pre-pregnancy nutrient tests +
filling up your nutrient stores to Pregnancy-Ready Nutrient Levels™ (PRLs)
before you get pregnant can help put you on track for
the healthy pregnancy + child you are hoping for
Start your pregnancy with a full gas tank.
Studies show that when women start pregnancy with their nutrient stores filled to Pregnancy-Ready Nutrient Levels™ (PRLs):
they lower their risk of running into the most common pregnancy complications
they improve their chances of a faster + smoother recovery after pregnancy
they are more likely to have a smart, strong + healthy child!
Yet,
50%+ of women in Canada start their pregnancy
below at least one Pregnancy-Ready Nutrient Level™ (PRL)
despite taking a prenatal multivitamin +
eating foods every day that are fortified with these nutrients...
Will you start your pregnancy with full nutrient stores?
The 8 week Pregnancy-Ready Nutrient Formula can help you get there.
Get Tested
Find out where your nutrient stores are at with 6 easy lab tests that are available at your family doctor (MD) & local naturopathic doctor (ND), or can even be ordered as a home-based kit. We tell you exactly how to get these tests + what to ask for.
When test results
come back "fine"
Even if your test results fall in the "normal" range for the general population, you may not be at the levels that improve your chances of having a healthy pregnancy + child. We tell you the Pregnancy-Ready Levels™ (PRLs) for 6 crucial nutrients.
Nutrient targets
made for women
With PRLs, your general test results become totally specific to your body & your future pregnancy! PRLs tell you exactly which nutrients you need to focus on to reduce your & your child's risk of common problems.
Good things are worth waiting for...
You won't get to PRLs in one day of popping a prenatal, or any supplement! It takes specific doses and timelines to get there. On average, women in Canada take 1-3 months to reach get their nutrient stores to the most optimal place for a healthy pregnancy.

The Science Behind the Course
These quotes are from major scientific journals & are a just a small snap shot of the nearly 200 studies that we have used to develop this course.
Starting to take nutritional supplements once a woman is already pregnant is not enough to fundamentally improve the child's health.
-Lancet 2018; 391:10132, p1830-1841
"Pre-pregnancy nutrition affects fertility + early pregnancy, and therefore the entire pregnancy."
- Hum Reprod Update 2010;16(1):80-95
20-30% of women are deficient in one or more nutrients.
-Europ Jour Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. 2012;164(2):127-132.
Studies show strong links between health before pregnancy + health outcomes later. But awareness of these links is not widespread.
- Preconception Health, Lancet 2018. 391:10132,p1830-1841.
"Suboptimal nutrition in early pregnancy can have health consequences to the child several decades later."
-Biochimie 2012. 94(11):2242-2263.
A woman's diet and supplement intake before + in early pregnancy may play a role in her child's risk of autism.
-Am J Clin Nutr. 2012;96(1):80-89 and Front Cell Dev Biol. 2018;6:107
Women who started pregnancy with low Iron stores tended to have smaller babies, even if they took Iron during pregnancy.
-Hum Reprod. 2012;27(5):1260-1266.
The best part is, you don't need to be science-savy to take this course!
We have translated it all into an actionable and easy-to-read format.
