Life is no “brief candle” to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
—GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
It is up to us to live up to the legacy that was left for us, and to leave a legacy that is worthy of our children and of future generations.
—CHRISTINE GREGOIRE
We could not be more proud of you or happier that you found us. We truly care about you, your family, and the direction of your life.
If you have read How to Conceive Naturally: And Have a Healthy Pregnancy after 30, then it was meant exactly for you. We can’t wait to hear more about your story and your journey.
Think of where you were with your physical, mental, and emotional health when you first picked up this book. Now you’ve finished it and you are fully armed not only with an action plan of diagnostics, supplements, and meal plans, but a brand-new knowledge base, perspective, and new approach to creating new life and to cherishing the one you’ve been given.
What we want for you, and all our readers, is to understand the basic tenets of natural health; to trust that when given what it needs, the body can come into balance; and to take action every single day on improving your diet and your health. Do it not only for your baby, but for you, your partner, your friends, all of your loved ones—and for everyone you come into contact with on a daily basis. The world needs more happy, healthy, and passionate individuals.
It takes perseverance, personal accountability, and personal responsibility to improve your health and life. But no one else can do it for you, only you. But once you “catch” the health bug, you will be living life at a much different level. Nothing tastes as good as healthy and vibrant feels.
We hope that you leave this book empowered not only in your fertility, but in all aspects of your life. You and your precious human life are worthy of exceptional care all the time. You’ve given the greatest gift to your baby by being intentional about everything you put into, and onto, your body. Not only does that make a tremendous positive impact on your health and your baby’s health, but it also ensures the health of future generations and our entire planet.
With a superior diet, lifestyle, and the right environmental conditions, we all have the opportunity to create vibrant health for our families and for ourselves. And as more people return to the natural, supportive, time-tested methods of eating, living, conceiving, and raising healthy families, the better off we all are as a collective, global society.
In other words, we hope this book has helped you transcend the limits of what you believed was possible. We hope that, by taking our advice, you’ve forever changed the relationship that you have with food and your body. You are part of a movement now, and we hope you won’t keep it to yourself. Share your story with us. Share your story with other women. And by doing so, help other women and families find the success, inspiration, and joy that you have, which will eventually span multiple generations.
Believe that anything is possible and go create the life of your dreams.
You are well on your way. Congratulations!
Here’s to a lifetime of thriving!
With love and gratitude,
Christa and Willow
