We're proud to launch the Integrative Preconception Care Program, meeting a critical and often overlooked need in women’s health. With fertility challenges on the rise, there is immense emotional and physical stress on families. But the solution is about more than just helping someone get pregnant. The Integrative Preconception Care Program is about creating a stronger foundation for healthy pregnancies, improved maternal health outcomes, and thriving children for future generations to come. Karen Lindsay, PhD, RDN, and Lilian Au, ND, MPH, launched the program to provide whole-person care to individuals and couples looking to lay the healthiest possible foundation before pregnancy. It follows the success of their pilot cohorts in 2024 and 2025, in which they observed decreased stress, improved food skills and mindfulness, increased diet quality scores, and corrected nutrient deficiencies in patients. These observations indicate that a whole-person, pre-pregnancy intervention has the potential to provide significant health benefits for people wanting to start a family. This is an an exciting example of how integrative health can help fill important gaps in care. The Integrative Preconception Care Program is currently accepting patients.

As we wrap up Mental Health Awareness Month, it's a reminder that your mental and physical health are deeply interconnected. Chronic stress can lead to sleep problems, pain, digestive issues, and more. On the other hand, facing a physical health challenge can lead to depression or anxiety. Mindfulness can help, says Jessica Drew de Paz, PsyD, a clinical psychologist and our director of mindfulness programs. Studies have shown that practicing mindfulness can significantly reduce chronic pain, lower blood pressure, boost the immune system and enhance sleep. In addition, research supports a decrease in stress, anxiety and depression. If you're looking for help cultivating moment-to-moment awareness through mindfulness practice, consider joining one of our Mindfulness community classes to learn from expert instructors and connect with others on a similar journey.
