Imagine feeling so sick during pregnancy that even water won’t stay down, that’s Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), a severe form of morning sickness that can leave women bedridden and depleted. But what if HG isn’t just bad luck or genetics? In today’s episode, I sit down with Jes Reynolds, who challenges the common myths surrounding HG and reveals how it often signals deeper physiological imbalances, from nutrient deficiencies to hidden toxicities. Together, we explore how holistic preconception prep can transform the way women experience pregnancy, showing that fertility, morning sickness and HG are reflections of overall health, not isolated conditions.
Episode Highlights:
- What is HG? Hyperemesis Gravidarum and how is it different than regular morning sickness?
- Think HG is purely genetic? Jes challenges that belief, diving into the surprising role of epigenetics and why your genes aren’t the full story
- Discover why HG might be more common and more misunderstood than you think
- Jes reveals the subtle health clues that may signal increased HG risk and shares how fertility and pregnancy symptoms mirror our overall health
- What if morning sickness wasn’t random, but a message from your body? Learn how deeper imbalances and deficiencies could be at play
- Jes explains how proactive preconception work can create a healthier pregnancy and even influence future generations
