EPISODE 12: Partners in Pregnancy: Nutrition

In this episode, we explore how we’re approaching nutrition during pregnancy through the lens of metabolic stability and micronutrient sufficiency. We break down the science behind blood sugar control, gestational diabetes, protein needs, and key nutrients like choline, vitamin B12, folate, and DHA that help support fetal development.We also discuss the concept of fetal metabolic programming how the intrauterine environment can influence a child’s long-term metabolism, brain development, and health.This conversation isn’t about food rules or internet dogma. It’s about understanding the physiology of pregnancy and making informed, balanced decisions to support both mom and baby. 📚 References: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11yRYnS6nSXt3VVr502Lf6g0mkYxJIzr3YMJgnm4Pqeo/edit?tab=t.0
