At Humfeld Chiropractic and Nutrition Center, we have helped many females wanting to get pregnant and start a family.

We use whole food supplements from Standard Process and help the mother make dietary changes as well. If you or friend or family member are thinking of starting a family, please recommend that they call our office at 507-333-5388 to start a Nutrition Response Testing program to help rebuild the health of their gut prior to getting pregnant.
