 Nutrition may be the missing link for many of these couples. The latest evidence about the role of nutrition in reducing the risk of recurrent miscarriages is illuminating. And it's not just about avoiding alcohol, caffeine, and smoking. There may be other strategies that make an important difference for many of your clients.

This event is not designed to blame, but rather to provide answers and solutions.
