#51 - Julie Sawaya: What nutrients are truly NEEDED to optimize pregnancy?
Julie Sawaya is the co-founder of Needed (www.thisisneeded.com). She and her team investigated the nutritional content of 75 prenatal vitamins along with the nutritional status of women taking said prenatal vitamins and found that 95% were still nutrient deficient (!!). So they set out to formulate a better prenatal nutritional plan. Their efforts are helping to meet the nutritional needs of men and women in the pre-conception, pregnancy, and postpartum stages of growing their families. I'm stoked to have Julie on the show to discuss Needed's product line, and I'm even more stoked to have Needed on board as a sponsor of the show. Happy listening!
