In this episode I sit down with Melanie from The Natal Naturopath to chat about all things iron. 

Iron is always essential to our health, but in pregnancy maintaining adequate iron levels is paramount to good maternal and neonatal health. Despite this, so many women struggle with iron deficiency before, during and after pregnancy. With many mainstream iron supplements contributing to gut irritation, It can be hard to know what to do if the treatment plan that’s been recommended isn’t cutting it! 

Melanie is as knowledgeable as she is passionate about helping mums maintain great iron levels in pregnancy. It was a pleasure to sit and pick her brain.
