What To Eat During Pregnancy

In this episode, we’re breaking down pregnancy nutrition in simple, practical terms. Instead of focusing on restriction, we’re looking at pregnancy like a construction project — because your body is literally building a baby, a placenta, new blood volume, and preparing for postpartum recovery. All of that requires raw materials, and food is where those materials come from! We’re also talking about why babies can still be born healthy even when nutrition isn’t ideal — and why that often means the mother’s body absorbs the cost.
This episode walks through the five pillars of pregnancy nutrition and how to apply them in real life so you can support both your baby’s development and your own long-term health.
In this episode, we cover:
- Where the “materials” for building a baby actually come from
- What affects baby directly vs. what affects mom (and why both matter)
- Why many women feel depleted after pregnancy
- The 5 pillars of pregnancy nutrition
- Simple ways to support nourishment even if things feel overwhelming
