Thinking about pregnancy someday—or trying now? This episode is your reminder that what you do before you’re pregnant matters just as much as what you do during it.


Tayler breaks down why preconception nutrition is one of the most powerful ways to support your fertility, prepare your body for a smoother pregnancy, and recover more easily postpartum.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why the easiest time to build sustainable eating habits is before you're pregnant

  • How nutrition supports egg and sperm quality, hormone balance, and cycle regularity

  • The link between nutrient stores and first trimester symptoms like nausea and fatigue

  • How building up nutrition ahead of time can reduce your risk of complications like gestational diabetes and preeclampsia

  • Why postpartum recovery, milk production, and future fertility depend on your preconception foundation

  • And why preparing for pregnancy is a lot like training for a marathon

Whether you’re months away from trying or just curious about what to expect, this episode will help you understand the why behind preconception nutrition—and how to start laying the foundation now.
