Did you know that fetal nutrition is the number one determining factor of
longevity and quality of health? Fetal nutrition starts with the mother, and
when it comes to the success of nutrition during pregnancy, Deborah Wieder
is a believer.
As a 41 year old first time mother, Deborah Wieder did not want to go through
the lagging energy, morning sickness, and general discomfort she saw her friends
experience when they became pregnant.
More important, she wanted to give birth to a healthy, vibrant baby.
Deborah was always interested in nutrition and alternative therapies, so
when her mother suggested a consultation with Body Ecology's Donna Gates,
she took the advice to heart.
After a few phone sessions with Donna, Deborah felt ready to incorporate
Body
Ecology principles into her pre-natal routine.
Body Ecology for Moms and Babies
Deborah laughs about how she ate vegetables for most of her pregnancy, "Salads
for breakfast, salads for lunch, and salads for dinner!"
She also avoided processed foods and wheat, dairy and sugar.
Besides salads and fresh vegetables, Deborah began to drink about a half
cup of Young Coconut Kefir
every day. Deborah's mother pitched in to this healthy Body Ecology routine
by making a batch of Young Coconut Kefir each week, mixing in a little unsweetened
cranberry juice and Body
Ecology Stevia for a delicious, sweet drink. Deborah believes that the
Young Coconut Kefir was key to her healthy pregnancy.
"Donna Gates believed that my immune system was a bit compromised,
but the Young Coconut Kefir is amazing! It kept me on track."
In fact, during pregnancy, a woman's immune system is typically compromised,
making her susceptible to illness, especially candida
and adrenal
fatigue. To learn more about why this happens, read: What

Deborah added other Body Ecology components to her life too: raw
cultured butter for because this fat is critical for her baby's brain
development and Ocean
Plant Extract to nourish her thyroid (always a critical organ but even
more so during pregnancy) and to help in cleansing of heavy metals and detoxification.
An Easy Pregnancy
As a result of Donna's advice, Deborah enjoyed a calm and easy pregnancy.
"My body felt incredible! I felt better when I was pregnant than ever
before!"
Deborah stayed healthy, had more energy and less discomfort than her other
pregnant friends. In fact, she firmly believes the Body Ecology program was
a cure for morning sickness. The only symptom she experienced during her healthy
pregnancy was slight swelling in her feet towards the very end of the nine
months.
Deborah definitely attributes her energy to what she learned from her consultations
with Donna Gates. Donna made specific recommendations for Deborah's Body Ecology
program and she also suggested weekly acupuncture. Deborah believes that the
combination of "taking care of my diet and going to acupuncture was a
very powerful combination."
Healthy Body, Healthy Baby
Maayan has hit her developmental milestones early. Her mom and dad
attribute her health and cognitive abilities to Body Ecology nutrition
during pregnancy. Here she is "helping her dad" read the paper!

After a relaxed pregnancy, Deborah gave birth to her daughter on October
19 of last year. She and her husband named their bundle of joy Maayan, which
means oasis in Hebrew.
Thanks to Body Ecology, both mom and daughter enjoyed boundless energy
and radiant health.
Deborah says of Maayan, "Everyone comments on how alert and aware she
is of everything. She has tons of energy and uses her whole body to express
herself."
Deborah continues to follow Body Ecology principles as Maayan develops.
As a new mom, she loves the convenience of Cocobiotic, Body Ecology's probiotic liquid that replaces the need to find and crack young
green coconuts.
"I give Maayan Cocobiotic every day."
Deborah is also thankful for Maayan's continued health. They chose not to
vaccinate her and do not let her have wheat, dairy or sugar,
even at day care.
Deborah feels blessed to have such a healthy child. "Maayan tested
one or two months ahead with cognitive abilities, receptive language and fine
motor skills. I have two siblings with developmental disabilities and was
always concerned about having my own children. And I was almost 42 when I
got pregnant."
Maayan has not even had a cold or flu since birth!
"I'm a total believer that Body Ecology is the way to go for a healthy
pregnancy and a healthy, happy baby!"
