Rewriting the Rules of Prenatal Nutrition: Science, Intuition & Women’s Needs with Julie Sawaya

What happens when you’re doing everything “right,” and your body is still asking for more? Julie Sawaya is the co-founder of Needed and a grounded, deeply thoughtful voice in women’s health whose work was born from curiosity, science, and an honest reckoning with nutrient gaps many women experience during pregnancy and beyond. Guided by both personal testing and years of collaboration with clinicians and perinatal practitioners, Julie has helped challenge outdated prenatal standards and reframe nourishment as something dynamic, individualized, and deeply human. This conversation is an invitation to listen more closely to the body, to question long-held assumptions, and to approach women’s health — and family health — with integrity, education, and intention.   ✨ Connect with Us: Dina on IG: @dinadelaurentiis Julie on IG: @juliesawaya Needed on IG: @needed ✨ Sip + Support My Favorites: 🌱 Matcha Ritual (Pique Sun Goddess Matcha) →https://www.piquelife.com/collections/black-friday-cyber-monday-sale?rfsn=8721569.cf2321&utm_source=affiliate&utm_campaign=20off&utm_medium=pp_ig&utm_content=dina_delaurentiis 💪 Protein I Trust (Equip Prime Protein) → https://www.equipfoods.com/DINADL — save 15% with code DINADL 🍫 Protein Bars I Love (Jacob) → https://www.eatjacob.com/DINA38710 — save 10% with this link! 🧴 Clean Body Care (OSEA) → https://oseamalibu.com/?rfsn=8720882.2b3d8... — save 10% with code DINADL10 💧 Everyday Hydration (Buoy Electrolytes) → https://www.justaddbuoy.com/DINA94759 — save 20% with code DINADL ⏳ Health & Longevity Support (ReadyRx) → https://readyrx.com/shop/p/na?s=HOME — code DINADL (savings vary by product) 🛒 Shop All My Faves (Amazon Storefront) → https://www.amazon.com/shop/dinadelaurentiis Favorite Shelf Stable pouches → https://sophiesorganics.com/collections/all  — save 20% with code DINADL Skincare I’m LOVING these days → https://shop.adipeau.com/DINADL  — save 10% with code DINADL 💚 Let’s thrive through the mess + magic together.
