Brittany and Tom discuss pregnancy nutrition from a functional medicine perspective. Not enough attention is being paid to the importance of proper nutrition during the First Thousand Days of a child's life, including pregnancy. To increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy, good nutrition should be a priority for the mother!

We cover the importance of key nutrients like iron, zinc, choline, omega-3 and prebiotic fiber to feed mother and baby brain and gut microbiome. 

Much of the information discussed was drawn from Dr Flass' books "Feeding Our Children" and "Eating For Two".
