Okay so Kristin Brown is a perinatal dietitian and she just told me that most prenatal vitamins have almost no choline in them

Which is wild because choline is one of the most important nutrients for baby's brain development. She breaks down what's actually missing from most prenatals, why omega-3s matter, and what you need to be supplementing separately.

We also get into pregnancy nausea and what to do when you can't keep anything down, plus postpartum nutrition when you're recovering and running on zero sleep.

And this WHOLE conversation answered so many questions I didn't even know I had about what pregnant and postpartum women actually need nutritionally.

Kristin gets into what your body actually needs during this time, why you should check your labs at three months postpartum, and how nutrition plays into hormone recovery.

What we cover:

• Why most prenatal vitamins are missing choline and omega-3s
• What to look for in a quality prenatal vitamin
• Managing pregnancy nausea and hyperemesis gravidarum
• Key nutrients for pregnancy: choline, omega-3s, iron, folate
• Postpartum nutrition and recovery strategies
• Breastfeeding nutrition needs
• When to check your postpartum labs
• Why omega-3s are crucial for baby's brain development
• How hormones affect postpartum recovery
• Practical nutrition tips for exhausted postpartum moms

If you're pregnant, trying to conceive, or postpartum and you want to understand what your body actually needs listen up!
