Alexa | The Root Cause Protocol Helped With My Pregnancy

I’m currently pregnant. My husband and I had been trying for just over a year with no success prior to me starting RCP. I switched to the RCP after a friend sent me some Instagram posts about food based-alternatives to prenatals. I muscle test my supplements and my body started consistently saying yes to things like beef liver and no to the standard prenatal.
I got pregnant and had an early loss after 2 months on RCP. It was a very stressful time for me and the loss was hard, but even that felt like progress over nothing.
Fast forward 7 months and I got pregnant again! I’m currently 21 weeks and still doing RCP. I had some nausea and sleep issues in first trimester, both of which resolved by eating more and more frequently. The RCP meets or exceeds all the RDAs my midwife gave me for vitamins and minerals and my first round of labs looked great, with the exception of Vitamin D so I’m working on getting more sun.
Update: My baby girl is four months old now and very engaged in the world. Super curious about everything, enthusiastic eater too!
