Real Food for Pregnancy -An interview with Lily Nichols RDN

In this episode, we interview Lily Nichols RDN. Lily 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thorough, and critical of outdated dietary guidelines.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
co-founder of the Women’s Health Nutrition Academy and the author
of two books, 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. She writes

 Lily’s second book, Real Food for Pregnancy, is an
evidence-based look at the gap between conventional prenatal
nutrition guidelines and what’s optimal for mother and baby. With
over 930 citations, this is the most comprehensive text on
prenatal nutrition to date.


 Lily is also creator of the popular blog,
LilyNicholsRDN.com, which explores a variety of topics related to
real food, mindful eating, and pregnancy nutrition.


 We talk about what is 'real' food, not just the difference
between processed food and whole unprocessed food, its not just
that! Of course, we touch on diet & supplements for
pregnancy, diet for those women diagnosed with gestational
diabetes, and we even manage to fit in the best nutrition for
recovery post-birth and breastfeeding. This is a wonderful
episode full of golden nuggets! I know you'll thoroughly enjoy it
and if you can please share this on your socials & tag us in
your stories, plus we are so grateful to all of you who take that
extra 5 mins to write us a review on Apple podcast to really help
get this podcast out to a wider audience, and hey that can only
be a good thing right?! 


 So sit back, get a hot water bottle and warm socks like me
right now, or if your down under like Rachel grab a fan and open
a window to enjoy this incredible episode.
