38. Nutrition & Real Food for Pregnancy with Lily Nichols

Mama to be? Want to become a mama one day? Or just curious about the topic of prenatal nutrition? This one's for you.

Lily Nichols is a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Educator, researcher, and author with a passion for evidence-based prenatal nutrition.

Her work is known for being research-focused, thorough, and critical of outdated dietary guidelines (one of the things I really love about Lily’s work!)

She is co-founder of the Women’s Health Nutrition Academy and the author of two books, Real Food for Pregnancy and Real Food for Gestational Diabetes.

Lily’s bestselling books have helped tens of thousands of mamas (and babies!), are used in university-level maternal nutrition and midwifery courses, and have even influenced prenatal nutrition policy internationally.

In this episode we dive into:

✨Lily’s own journey and what brought her to the work she does today
✨Why a lot of dietary guidelines are outdated + not in the best interest of future mamas
✨What foods to eat during your prenatal phase (and before) to best support yourself and your baby’s health
✨ Vitamins to pay a bit extra attention to
