Fertility, Pregnancy, and Wellness

Fertility, Pregnancy, and Wellness is designed to bridge science and a more holistic approach to health and wellness, in particular, dealing with female-male fertility and the gestational process. Couples seeking to solve fertility issues for different reasons, whether failed assisted reproductive techniques or the emotional impact they entail, economic or moral reasons, are demanding more natural ways of improving fertility. This unique resource fills this gap. As healthcare-medicine develops, it is becoming clearer that health is not only a physical matter but also has to do with emotions and psychology of the individual.

This encompasses a wide, diverse audience that needs concise, evidence-based research. Professionals dealing with infertility issues, pregnancy, and overall health and wellness need critical information of what is known,? what is not known,? and how science and research are going moving forward.
