March 06, 2023Zinc: A Nutrient Powerhouse for Moms-to-Be and Beyond [pregnancy] | ep. 13
Because of the rise in certain pregnancy hormones, some of these suppress the immune system to ensure the body does not treat the fetus as a foreign body so it may grow and develop, but this also leaves the body more susceptible to colds and flus which is why so many pregnant women experience a lot of sickness (and sometimes morning sickness!) in the first trimester. In today’s episode we go over why zinc is important in the first trimester to support immunity and the other benefits it has for both mom and baby, as well as where to get it in your diet.

February 20, 2023Revolutionizing Reproductive Care: Exploring OVRY's Essential Tools for Growing Families [Pregnancy] | ep. 10
Happy Family Day, Canadian listeners! On this special episode dedicated to growing families, we dive into the world of reproductive care with a focus on an incredible Canadian company – Ovry. Although it might sound similar to "ovary," there's no 'a' in Ovry, and their mission is to redefine reproductive care essentials for everyone.
Fertility and pregnancy are pivotal aspects of building a family, and we're here to introduce you to Ovry's range of products that can make your journey smoother.
First, let's talk about ovulation testing. Whether you're trying to conceive or avoid pregnancy, understanding your menstrual cycle is essential. We break down the basics of ovulation and explain how Ovry's ovulation test strips can be your trusted companion. These strips not only help detect your most fertile days but also come with a reusable cup and a free cycle tracker. Say goodbye to the guesswork and hello to precise family planning.
Next up, pregnancy tests! We've all been there – the awkward trip to the store and the furtive purchase. Ovry understands the discomfort, and that's why their pregnancy tests are different. These eco-friendly tests are not only affordable but also conscious of the environment. We discuss how they can still make your Instagram-worthy moment when the result is positive, all while reducing waste and saving you money.
But it's not just about female fertility; we delve into male fertility testing too. Ovry offers tests that allow you to take a proactive approach to understanding your fertility. No need to send samples to a lab; you can get results from the comfort of your home. We emphasize the importance of knowing early and reducing the anxiety that often accompanies fertility concerns.
While we touch on sperm concentration, we also mention that other factors like morphology and motility are essential in assessing fertility. Ovry's male fertility tests provide a valuable starting point.
In addition to individual tests, Ovry offers convenient bundles, including the pregnancy prep bundle, which combines ovulation and pregnancy tests. It's a comprehensive approach to family planning.

February 03, 2023The ABCs of the First Trimester: Essential Nutrients for You and Your Baby [Pregnancy] | ep. 6
In this episode we go over some essential nutrients during the first trimester of pregnancy, including one that is so critical in the first 4 weeks of pregnancy before you might even realize you are pregnant. We dive into the benefits of consuming these nutrients for both mom and baby and some risks of deficiency. I also tell you the top food sources for each so you can enrich your diet accordingly, as well as if you are a vegan or vegetarian, I recommend supplementing. The first trimester can be such a whirlwind from excitement of realizing you're pregnant to sudden morning sickness and body changes, often with very few people in their life knowing the news which can make it feel isolating and not real. In the episode I want to share how you can support your changing body and growing baby through nutrition to help you feel more empowered in your choices.

January 27, 2023Decoding Supplement Labels: Navigating the World of Nutrients and Quality | ep. 4
This week we discuss how to pick a good supplement. Supplementing is certainly not a one size fits all and every person requires different supplements. Depending on your diet and different factors, supplements can help us meet our nutrient needs. Not all supplements are equal so don't be fooled and don't be tempted by lowest price. High quality supplements are often very expensive. Be sure to check the ones you're on and compare them to alternative brands.
We’ll cover:

what labels to look for

what ingredients to look for

what ingredients to avoid
