You have likely heard the phrase “eating for two” your whole life; but how important is nutrition in pregnancy? And does it really matter how much weight you gain?
This week, Jessica sits down with Dr. Cecilia Jevitt, a midwife & researcher whose research is about nutrition, exercise, and weight in pregnancy.
They talk about what foods actually support a healthy pregnancy; and, maybe most importantly, how to navigate a healthcare system that doesn’t always treat pregnant people with the respect they deserve. Dr. Jevitt even gets into how what you eat today could impact your grandchildren’s health.
This conversation is warm, eye-opening, and completely judgment-free. No calorie counting, no diet talk, no shame. Jessica and Cecilia just provide real information you can actually use.
You’ll walk away knowing:
- How much you actually need to eat extra
- Which nutrients matter most and where to find them
- How to recognize weight bias at your prenatal visits
- Why your grandmother’s pregnancy may have shaped your health today
