Moms Off The Record

#36: Gestational Diabetes and Hypertension, Hormonal Birth Control, Male Factor Fertility, and Recurrent Miscarriage with RDN Lily Nichols | Setting The Record Straight

Listen Later

We sit down with the one and only Lily Nichols, RDN & CDE— author of Real Food for Gestational Diabetes, Real Food for Pregnancy, and  her latest work, Real Food for Fertility, to set the record straight and debunk myths about some of the most common preconception and pregnancy routine practices and complications. The nutritional choices we make do have an impact on all of these areas, and the mainstream medical paradigm is slow to adapt, per usual.

In this episode we discussed:

  • What is the real deal with the infamous glucose test? Why is the artificial orange drink a.k.a. Glucola the “gold standard” when testing women for Gestational Diabetes, and what are the shortcomings with the 50g, 75g, and 100g screening tests? 
  • How can Gestational Diabetes be managed, and what is the problem with the mainstream medical model’s current guidelines for GD management?
  • When it comes to preconception and fertility, we of course have to mention The Pill. What must women know about their fertility when coming off the pill, and how does hormonal birth control impact future fertility outcomes and nutrient stores?
  • What is recurrent miscarriage and how can women uncover the root cause?
  • Male Factor Fertility— what is one thing all men can do across the board to contribute to the fertility equation, since we know they play a role in this too?
  • What is the biggest scam with mainstream advice given for gestational hypertension, and what guidance should women follow instead?
