Benehealth Beginnings
Creating health and vitality
…throughout the childbearing process.
PRECONCEPTION OPTIMIZATION | FERTILITY ENHANCEMENT
HEALTHY PREGNANCY | POSTPARTUM & LACTATION
Functional medicine from preconception through postpartum care.
Planning for pregnancy should be filled with joy and excitement, but it’s often filled with stress and confusion instead.
There is just so much to think about. All you want is to have a healthy baby, but the guidance offered by your regular doctor can feel limited. What about nutrition? Genetics? Your partner’s health? Birthing options? And some may wonder why it has been so hard to conceive?
The questions keep coming without many answers. It feels like you could be doing more – more to improve your own health and more to improve the health of your future child.
Benehealth Beginnings is designed to directly address the health challenges faced by couples throughout the childbearing process.
Through our functional medicine approach to care, we identify and address the root causes of health issues that may affect healthy reproduction.
With our four unique paths, Benehealth Beginnings serves women and their partners wherever they find themselves on the journey toward parenthood.
BH Beginnings
Four Personalized Programs
Your baby’s health starts at the very beginning – with you.
Even before conception, the health of the eggs or sperm you produce is only as healthy as the rest of your body’s cells. While genetics plays a role, there is a remarkable amount of variation in the way your genes are actually expressed. This is encouraging news! It means that your genetics are not your child’s destiny.
The lifestyle and habits of both you and your partner can influence the health of your future children for years to come. For example, a father’s exposure to chemicals called phthalates can affect sperm DNA and impact a couple’s ability to have children. Diet and supplement intake can also influence DNA, affecting how your baby will learn, grow, and react to stress.
This means you have a lot of power over the health of your future child.
By optimizing your health and your partner’s health, we ensure the childbearing process is the healthy, joyful, and empowering time it should be.
“You never understand life until it grows inside of you.”

BH Beginnings Healthy Pregnancy Support
Ensure your pregnancy is healthy from conception through birth.

We can even help optimize health and reduce complications in high-risk pregnancies including those with:
● Gestational diabetes
● Gestational hypertension
● High BMI or obesity
We provide care as an additional member of your maternal health team, not a replacement to your regular maternity provider (Ob/Gyn, family medicine doctor, or midwife).

BH Beginnings Postpartum & Lactation
Get the care and support you need to navigate the transition from pregnancy to postpartum.
Giving birth is an amazing experience, but your needs don’t end there.
Conventional maternity care only offers one provider visit at 6 weeks. You’re then sent on your way to manage on your own.
But the postpartum period is often full of challenges – including problems with sleep, increased stress, fluctuating hormones, and feeding issues.
This program offers individualized lab assessment, lifestyle guidance, and nutrition support. We work with you to ensure a healthy transition from pregnancy to postpartum and lactation enhancement.
Postpartum & Lactation
With a focus on lactation enhancement, we guide you through the postpartum period feeling empowered, healthy, and filled with vitality.

No. The membership program is a commitment with considerable discounts on visits and services. But you can also participate in BH Beginnings without the monthly commitment. These would be at the ala carte regular pricing.
Each Beginnings program offers its own distinct package of services. Please review the 4 different program offerings above for details.
Unfortunately, no. Benehealth is a functional medicine specialty clinic, and therefore does not provide primary care services. Benehealth works closely with your regular maternal care provider (Ob/Gyn, midwife, family medicine doctor) to provide supplemental maternity care.
Your PCP must remain your primary point person for medication management of chronic conditions. We can only be the primary point person for management of bioidentical hormone and thyroid medications. Benehealth practitioners collaborate with your primary care provider and can assist in prescription reduction and de-prescription as indicated.
Lab work can generally be run through your insurance provider. This can be done in tandem with primary maternity providers to minimize blood draws.
Medical services and products – such as supplementation – are eligible expenses for health spending accounts (HSAs). Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) guidelines vary slightly from HSA guidelines, but many would still qualify medical services as eligible expenses. If you have questions, please contact your insurance, HSA, or FSA provider for further information.
