Welcome back to another episode of The Nutrition Science Podcast. I have an amazing episode for you today, I am chatting with my good friend Dr. Jessica Knurick. Jessica and I did our PhDs together and she now specializes in prengnacy and post-partum nutrition after having two little ones of her own.
She has built a large following on Tik Tok and on Instagram now as well education women about this topic and I am looking excited to have her on today to share her knowledge with you all as well.
We cover a lot in this episode, here are some of the topics that we touch on:
- What nutrients are specifically important during pregnancy?
- How should women change their nutrition habits during pregnancy to meet these nutrient needs?
- What supplements are important and how does someone choose a good supplement?
- What foods should pregnant women limit/avoid/be careful with?
- What is gestational diabetes and why is it important to test for it?
- Postpartum weight loss: What is realistic, how to approach it, and what to be careful of.
and more...
