Here I want to talk about men’s alcohol consumption, suppressed emotions of the liver and how to approach this topic with compassion instead of resentment. There is a vast amount of research available to explain to your man why they need to cut down (or cut out!) the booze during preconception. And the science is a very relevant part of the conversation, but I’m here to support your understanding of why this is so hard for our partners so that you can approach these conversations with compassion and insight. I also hope to relieve your body of some of the frustration and resentment that can come up for women during this trying time.
