This episode is all about pregnancy nutrition and how small, strategic choices can have a big impact on your baby’s brain and development. We cover omega threes for reducing inflammation and preventing preterm birth, choline for cognitive development, protein for steady blood sugar, and practical meal ideas from breakfast to dinner. I also share my personal routine for breastfeeding, supplement timing, and how I’ve integrated these habits into my daily life. Plus, we touch on the realities of nausea, plant-based diets, mental health, and balancing science with everyday life. If you’re pregnant, planning to be, or just curious about how nutrition shapes early development, this episode is packed with actionable insights. → Leave Us A Voice Message!
