Environmental exposure guidance for pregnancy & preconception

Know your exposure. Lower what you can.

ClearNest Health combines clinician-guided PFAS testing, environmental exposure assessment, and personalized reduction plans for people trying to conceive, pregnant, or postpartum.

Clinician-guided CLIA lab partners Pregnancy-specific No fear-based claims

From concern to clarity

You should not have to decode environmental health alone.

PFAS, plastics, water filters, cookware, cosmetics, packaging, textiles, and dust can feel overwhelming. ClearNest helps patients separate high-impact actions from expensive noise, then turns results and exposure history into a plan that is understandable, practical, and medically conservative.

How it works

A simple path from testing to action.

01

Map your exposure

Complete a pregnancy-specific intake covering water, food, cookware, cosmetics, textiles, occupation, home environment, and lifestyle.

02

Test where useful

Choose clinician-guided PFAS blood testing and optional water testing. Microplastic testing is treated as emerging science, not a diagnostic shortcut.

03

Get your ClearPlan

Receive ranked recommendations by likely impact, cost, effort, evidence strength, and pregnancy relevance.

04

Track and refine

Follow reminders, update your exposure profile, and discuss your clinician summary with your OB-GYN, midwife, MFM, or fertility specialist.

Science without scare tactics

Testing can inform decisions, but it has limits.

ClearNest is designed around transparent interpretation. PFAS blood testing can estimate levels of selected PFAS compounds, but it does not diagnose disease, identify every exposure source, or predict a pregnancy outcome. Microplastic testing is an emerging field with important measurement and clinical-interpretation gaps.

PFAS testing

We use results to support exposure-reduction conversations and practical planning, not to promise treatment or predict future health.

CDC/ATSDR clinician guidance

Pregnancy counseling

Environmental exposure counseling belongs in preconception and prenatal care. ClearNest gives patients structured education and clinician-ready summaries.

ACOG guidance

Microplastics

We treat microplastic guidance as an exposure-reduction module unless testing quality and interpretation standards support more.

Review of assessment challenges

Founder

Founded by Jonathan Hirshberg, MFM

ClearNest Health was founded by Jonathan Hirshberg, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist, to give patients a calm, evidence-informed way to respond to environmental exposure concerns during one of the most important windows of health decision-making.

As an MFM, Jonathan brings a pregnancy-specific lens to PFAS and microplastic concerns: patients deserve clear explanations, careful claims, and practical steps that complement prenatal and fertility care rather than replacing it.

Maternal-fetal perspective Evidence-graded guidance Patient-centered communication

For clinicians

Support for the exposure questions showing up in prenatal visits.

Patients are asking about PFAS, plastics, cookware, water filters, cosmetics, and “detox” protocols. ClearNest gives them evidence-graded education, practical reduction plans, and clear summaries they can bring back to their care teams.

FAQ

Common questions

Can PFAS testing tell me whether my pregnancy is at risk?

No. PFAS blood testing can estimate exposure to selected compounds, but it cannot diagnose a condition or predict future health outcomes. ClearNest uses results to guide exposure-reduction planning and clinician conversations.

Can you remove PFAS or microplastics from my body?

We do not make detox claims. Our focus is reducing future exposure and supporting practical, evidence-informed choices.

Should every pregnant person get PFAS testing?

Not necessarily. Testing may be most useful for people with known or suspected exposure, such as contaminated water, occupational exposure, or community exposure. ClearNest helps patients decide whether testing is likely to be useful.

Is microplastic testing clinically validated?

Clinical interpretation is still emerging. ClearNest treats microplastic testing as exploratory unless stronger clinical standards are available.
