Episode 02.06.2026 - How to Prevent Prenatal Infections Part 2
SUMMARY
Dr. Bryan Ardis continues his in-depth discussion on prenatal infections, building on the foundation from Part 1 with Michelle Rowton, diving deeper into the science, symptoms, and natural strategies surrounding infection risks during pregnancy.
Dr. Ardis reviews the published evidence on infections like Group B Strep (GBS), toxoplasmosis, listeria, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and others that can impact expectant mothers and developing babies. He explains how these conditions are often treated with blanket pharmaceutical protocols, and how nutrient status, immune function, and oxidative stress play a major role in the body’s ability to handle bacterial or viral threats.
Instead of scare tactics and one-size-fits-all medical interventions, Dr. Ardis presents research-supported insights into nutrient sufficiency and immune support that can serve women before and throughout pregnancy. He highlights essential minerals and antioxidants that show up in clinical literature as meaningful factors in immune defense, inflammation control, and healthy pregnancy outcomes.
Featured Nature Wins products discussed in this episode include:
Nature Wins Immune C - a vitamin C–based antioxidant formula that supports immune function and helps reduce oxidative stress.
Nature Wins Selenium - a trace mineral important for immune response, antioxidant activity, and cellular protection.
Nature Wins Zinc Plus - a bioavailable zinc supplement to support immune balance and overall nutrient status.
Whether you’re an expecting mother, birth partner, or health-minded listener interested in evidence, nutrients, and immune support - this episode offers practical, science-grounded information you can use.
