Is Raising Your Child on a Plant-Based Diet Safe? - E65

In our coaching program, we talk to so many women who have lived with Gestational Diabetes or first learned about their diabetes when they were pregnant. In this episode Dr Newman will answer questions like, “if someone were to find out that they have gestational diabetes, would you recommend adopting a plant-based diet during pregnancy to help improve their blood glucose?" and “is it true that a plant-based diet during pregnancy is dangerous because the mom and baby will be deprived of essential nutrients including things like calcium, EFAs, folate, and iron?” If you are living with gestational diabetes, know someone who is or if you have ever wondered how to raise a child on a plant-based diet, you do not want to miss this episode!
