Preparing for a baby may start much earlier than you think and it involves both of you.

In Episode 295 of the Now + Then Podcast, Dr. Bart Precourt and Callie Michaelis explore how early decisions may influence a child's development, metabolism, nervous system, fertility, food preferences, and long-term health.

They discuss the potential role of chiropractic care for babies and children, why both men and women should prepare before trying to conceive, how the first 1,000 days may shape metabolic health, and why childhood sugar exposure can create habits that follow us into adulthood.

They also examine whether protein chips and other "functional foods" are genuinely healthy and whether black coffee may offer metabolic and liver-supporting benefits when consumed properly.

●Couples who want to prepare their bodies before trying to conceive

●Parents concerned about sugar, processed foods, and childhood nutrition
