Making Babies Out of Food: Pregnancy Nutrition

This webinar goes way beyond the “What Not to Eat” list an OB might hand you. Instead, we consider how industrialization is changing our bodies, minds, and pregnancies. We look at how seriously delicious and healthy food in pregnancy can positively impact not only your experience of pregnancy and childbirth, but the very people we are “making out of food,” potentially even for a lifetime. We explore: nourishing a healthy microbiota, the importance of healthy fats and when this really matters, the role of traditional foods in pregnancy, avoiding plastics and other toxins, practical tips for keeping the body in good metabolic shape during labor, and more. With Kristin Lawless, author of Formerly Known as Food, and Mary Esther Malloy, owner of Mindful Birth NY.
