#125: Turning Good Genes on With Prenatal Vitamins With Katie Dewhurst

September 15, 2022

Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! 

In this episode, my guest, Katie Dewhurst, and I have a great discussion all about nutrition during pregnancy.

Katie started out her career as a nutritionist and also studied functional medicine, specializing in female health & nutrition.

She founded Hello Balance, a health and wellness company that helps millennial women optimize their health through food, and later expanded it into fertility and pregnancy nutrition.

Together we discuss how nutrition impacts a woman’s pregnancy and fertility, how to maximize your health and your baby’s health with prenatal vitamins, the science of blood sugar, and some very important tricks to introduce cleaner foods into your lifestyle without making drastic changes.

 Some big takeaways are:

1. Women should start taking prenatal vitamins 3-4 months before even getting pregnant. 
2. Weight isn’t the biggest factor in a healthy pregnancy. 
3. You only have one chance to build your baby’s brain, so do it with the best quality fuel you can.

One of Katie’s points is to begin preparing your body before even becoming pregnant. And the same goes for postpartum! If you expect to have the postpartum experience you want, then you need to start sooner rather than later.

My Planning For Postpartum Workshop is the right next step toward preparing for a peaceful and confident motherhood journey.
