Lily Nichols, RDN, CDE | The Fertility Factors: Blood Sugar, Protein, and Nutrient Density
This episode's information revealed just how much of our 'regulated' nutritional information is either completely outdated or incorrect. Here with Lily Nichols, a renowned dietitian and author who is not afraid to speak on the controversial dietary topics, we discuss where current nutritional guidelines on protein and micronutrients impact overall health and hold us back, particularly for those looking to optimise fertility and metabolic health.
Tune in to get the latest on:
🤰 Nutritional foundations for maternal and child health - pre-pregnancy, pre-natal, and post natal
🍩 Blood sugar regulation and nutrient-dense diets for prospective parents
ℹ️ The actually essential roles of non-essential amino acids
👶🏻 A protein-forward, nutrient dense intake for maternal health and fetal development
🌾 Supplementing vs real foods - the synergies
🧬 How nutrients (like choline, vitamin D, and B12) influence genetic expression from the womb onward
This conversation is a must for prospective parents, and anyone seeking to understand how optimal nutrition intersects with fertility, energy, and lifelong health.
