E18. The Importance of Nutrition in Pregnancy | Lucinda Miller

Why Nutrition Matters in Pregnancy with Midwife Pip and Lucinda Miller Pregnancy is a powerful time to nourish yourself and your baby towards a healthier future. It is an empowering change that you can make yourself to directly improve the health of your family for the present and for the future. Healthy eating habits have arguably never been more important than during pregnancy and yet it is an area we do not discuss nearly half as much as we should. This is an area of women’s health I am super passionate about so this week I am really excited to be joined by Lucinda Miller to discuss why we should all be taking more notice of our nutrition in pregnancy and understanding how powerful it really can be. Lucinda Miller is the founder of NatureDoc and runs a team of UK-wide nutritional therapists specialising in pregnancy, baby and child nutrition. She has been practising as a naturopath for over 20 years, qualified in Functional Medicine and is author of the bestselling family cook book The Good Stuff. Lucinda has also written a weaning bible which will be published in May 2021. Lucinda is a mum of three, living in Wiltshire and has a wealth of experience in supporting and educating women and children in all thing’s nutrition. I am thrilled to have such an expert guest on today to talk about why we really should be considering our nutrition much more during pregnancy. We discuss everything from pregnancy supplementation, omega 3 intake and share our tips to improving your diet during pregnancy. I hope this episode is equal amounts of inspiration and motivation to you as you grow your little one in pregnancy and beyond.
