Biohacking for Pregnancy: How Women Can Optimize Postpartum with Functional Nutrition


Listen Later

What if pregnancy didn’t have to feel like survival mode?
In this episode, we’re joined by Alexandra Radway—MIT-trained engineer turned functional nutritionist—who is on a mission to help modern women feel strong, supported, and biohacked through pregnancy and postpartum.

We explore:

  • Why symptoms like exhaustion and morning sickness aren’t "just part of pregnancy"

  • The most overlooked organ impacting pregnancy (hint: it’s not your uterus)

  • What’s really wrong with most prenatals—and what to look for instead

  • How to train your body to crave what it actually needs

  • Three high-impact biohacks that shift your pregnancy from depleted to thriving

Whether you’re planning for baby or already expecting, this conversation will change how you think about your body—and what’s truly possible for you.
