Pre-pregnancy & Fertility
The three month period prior to conception. Many factors, including age and nutrition can impact whether or not you conceive. Most of us know to take folic acid and a prenatal during this period, but that's just the tip of the iceberg! Diet and lifestyle can play a huge role in fertility.
Pregnancy
Weight, taste preferences, mental and physical health and even disposition/behavior are all impacted by what we eat while pregnant- Asthma, weight, auto-immune, allergies, mental health and even fussy eating! Mama, what you eat can make your pregnancy more comfortable too!
Healthy mama, happy baby!
Good nutrition before & during pregnancy is the secret sauce for a healthier little one & a more comfortable pregnancy.
Nutrition Matters. Why Isn't Anyone Talking About It?
When you discover you’re expecting or even before trying, you’re off to visit a whole squad of experts, right? Doctors, doulas, physical therapists, chiropractors, masseuses – you name it! All to ensure the best care for you & baby. But one important member is often missing from that team: a dietitian!
As an experienced dietitian and a mama myself, I know firsthand the frustration about the lack of nutrition guidance while trying to conceive & throughout pregnancy. I’m willing to bet that your doctor didn’t provide much nutrition advice beyond taking a prenatal & staying hydrated – in fact, they’re often clueless when you mention supplements or specific foods (mine certainly was!).
So, I decided to delve into the realm of prenatal nutrition, and what I discovered was astonishing. The truth is, proper nutrition before and during pregnancy gives you a super power- the ability to influence baby’s genes. During those nine months you’ve got the ability to activate the “good” genes and suppress the not-so-great ones!
