Listen Later

Up to 80% of pregnant people experience reflux or heartburn at some point—but you don’t have to just “put up with it.”


In this empowering episode, we’re joined by Kimberly Whitfield, MS, RD, a prenatal nutrition expert, to share pregnancy-safe tips to reduce discomfort and enjoy your meals again.


Together, we break down why reflux happens during pregnancy, the most common triggers, and gentle, effective strategies to get relief—without extreme restriction. Whether you’re in your first trimester or nearing the finish line, you’ll walk away with practical tools you can start using today.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why pregnancy hormones & a growing belly increase reflux risk

  • Which foods are more likely to trigger symptoms (and what to eat instead)

  • Meal timing & posture tricks that make a difference

  • Lifestyle adjustments for better sleep & digestion

  • How stress impacts reflux—and how to calm the gut with breathing & gentle movement

  • Safe natural remedies & when medication may be needed

💛 Remember: Every pregnancy is different—listen to your body, make small changes, and find what works for you. You deserve to feel good while you grow your little one.
