43 - Confused About Healthy Eating in Pregnancy? The Top 2 Foods to Avoid

Hey Mama!

I still laugh when I think about my pregnancy cravings — some things were delicious, and others, well… let’s just say my rotisserie chicken story makes me laugh to this day!

But let’s be real — sometimes it’s hard enough to just eat when you’re expecting, let alone think about what’s best for you and your baby.

In this episode, we’re breaking down what optimal nutrition looks like during pregnancy so that you can think about this ahead of time. What should you focus on? What should you avoid? And did you know that what your mom ate while pregnant with you could impact your health today? Yep, it’s wild!

We’ll talk about the hidden risks of certain foods, why some so-called “healthy” options might not be as great as they seem, and what you can do to fuel yourself (and your growing little one) the right way.

If you are already pregnant, maybe this information will give you some things to think about when you are feeling more like eating.

So, whether you're currently pregnant, planning for the future, or just curious about the impact of food on health, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss. Let’s dive in!
