Gestational Diabetes and nutrition for pregnancy with Lily Nichols [Ep. 175]

Beyond Sugar Freedom Podcast

Most OBGYns and Midwives don’t ask you about what you’re eating.
Yet your nutrition during pregnancy (and before) is obviously such a key factor to growing a healthy and resilient baby.
So what’s missing here?
And what’s the deal with Gestational Diabetes? What really is it and how does it develop?
Thankfully our guest today has all the answers.
Lily Nichols has made it her life’s mission to research and educate the world around prenatal nutrition.
If you’re thinking of having a baby, already pregnant or in the postpartum period, this episode is a must listen!
Lily Nichols is a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Educator, researcher, and author with a passion for evidence-based prenatal nutrition. Her work is known for being research-focused, thorough, and critical of outdated dietary guidelines.
She is the founder of the Institute for Prenatal Nutrition™, co-founder of the Women’s Health Nutrition Academy, and the author of three books: Real Food for Fertility (co-authored with Lisa Hendrickson-Jack), Real Food for Pregnancy and Real Food for Gestational Diabetes. Lily’s bestselling books have helped tens of thousands of mamas (and babies!), are used in university-level maternal nutrition and midwifery courses, and have even influenced prenatal nutrition policy internationally.
