108. Nutrition, Food Safety & Healthy Weight Gain During Pregnancy, with Dietitian & Nutritionist Stefanie Valakas


Listen Later

Today I chat with Stefanie Valakas who is recognised as a leading fertility and pregnancy dietitian and nutritionist and is the founder of The Dietologist.  

Stefanie, and her virtual practice, are dedicated to excellence in nutrition for reproductive health concerns, fertility and pregnancy. You can learn about how you can work with Stefanie and The Dietologist team at thedietologist.com.au or follow them on Instagram. You can also tune into Stef's podcast, Fertility Friendly Food.

In today’s episode, Stefanie and I discuss all things food safety and pregnancy including:

  • foods you should eat, and should avoid, when pregnant or trying to conceive;
  • Omega 3 intake for pregnancy;
  • the safety of consuming caffeine, protein powders and hummus during pregnancy;
  • what is a healthy weight gain during pregnancy; and
  • whether or not you can, or should, lose weight in pregnancy.  
  • CYBEX  

    This episode is brought to you by CYBEX. CYBEX offers car seats, baby carriers, kids furniture and strollers that are not only safe but perfectly adapt to urban lifestyles. Always challenging the status quo, CYBEX has become not just a leader in child safety but is seen as an innovative lifestyle and fashion brand.  
     
    With its fresh approach, CYBEX designs products for parents integrating and balancing safety, design and function. Our little bub is nearly here and we can’t wait to have her in her new Cybex Cloud-Q car capsule and rose gold CYBEX Priam.
