I'm Pregnant! How to Prepare for Pregnancy BEFORE You Start Trying | Preconception Nutrition & Habits I Followed - Solo Ep: Eli Brecher (Nutritionist)

The Gut 360 Podcast - Episode 44 / Season 4, Episode 1

I’m pregnant! To kick off Season 4, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the six months I spent preparing my body for pregnancy before we started trying to conceive.

As a Registered Associate Nutritionist, I knew I wanted to focus on the things within my control – without striving for perfection or falling into the trap of over-optimising fertility.

Topics Discussed:

• Why I started preparing for pregnancy six months before trying to conceive

• The foods and key nutrients I prioritised for preconception health

• The supplements I took before pregnancy, including folate and vitamin D

• How I used Natural Cycles and my Oura Ring to understand and track my cycle

• The lifestyle habits I focused on, from sleep and movement to stress and alcohol

• Why preconception health isn't just about women – and the importance of male fertility

• What I deliberately didn't do while preparing for pregnancy

• Why you don't need the “perfect” diet or lifestyle to support fertility

• My pregnancy journey so far - the first and second trimester were not what I expected

• The biggest lessons pregnancy has taught me about listening to my body and letting go of control

  
  

Whether you're hoping to start trying for a baby soon, pregnancy is a few years away, or you're simply interested in supporting your hormones and reproductive health, this episode is full of practical, realistic advice to help you feel informed and empowered.

And most importantly: preconception health isn't about doing everything perfectly. It's about building strong foundations and focusing on the things you can control.
