In this episode, we dive into the potential impact of front-of-package food labels using simple red, yellow, and green signals to help families easily identify processed foods. While this system may encourage healthier choices, we discuss how it can also oversimplify food quality, potentially misrepresenting nutrient-dense options like olive oil and whey protein. We then dive into pregnancy brain-a natural process marked by temporary forgetfulness-and highlight the vital role of choline, a nutrient often missing in prenatal vitamins, especially for those on vegan or plant-based diets. You’ll learn why whole foods, especially animal products like eggs, fatty fish, and organ meats, are crucial for nervous system support and how sensible supplementation can fill nutritional gaps. We also share practical tips for using protein powders and enjoying fermented beverages mindfully. Tune in for warm, practical insights to empower your food choices and support your brain health through pregnancy and beyond. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
