Send us Fan MailWhat you're about to listen to is something a little different.This is not a traditional episode — it's an edited recording of an actual one-on-one coaching check-in with my client, Sarah Sturm, a professional athlete who recently found out she was pregnant.After getting the news, Sarah approached me with an idea: she wanted to document her experience navigating pregnancy as a competitive athlete in real time, and she wanted to share it. So over five sessions, we hit record.With Sarah's full approval and participation, we've taken those check-ins and edited them down into a 5 part series of ~20-minute mini episodes so you can follow along with her journey as it actually unfolded — unscripted and unfiltered.In episode 2 we cover:The mental side of seeing your body change in the first trimesterCalculating fluid needs - pregnant or not!Where that weight gain is actually coming fromWhether calories need to increase right away, and how hydration needs shift in early pregnancy.Please note: some portions of the original recordings have been removed for time or privacy. What you're hearing is a curated but authentic look at what real coaching support looks like during one of the most significant transitions an athlete can go through.Thank you to Sarah for her openness and trust in sharing this with our community. 🤍Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.Mentioned:hDrop: https://hdroptech.com/ref/83/Use code HDROPNR to save 20%MORE NRApply to work with Kyla → https://p.bttr.to/3ZrwzcFUse code NEWPOD10 for 10% off our meal plans → https://nutritional-revolution.com/products/CONNECT Instagram → www.instagram.com/nutritionalrevolutionSponsorship inquiries → [email protected] in having your biomarkers or nutrigenomics checked?
