Lily Nichols | Real Food Strategies for Maternal and Infant Health


Listen Later

Lily Nichols is a renowned dietitian and best-selling author, an expert in prenatal nutrition, and advocates for real food and evidence-based approaches that empower parents to take control of their health.

We explore the critical link between a mother's metabolic health during pregnancy and her child's long-term wellness, including the irreplaceable role of long-term breastfeeding.

Are you struggling with blood sugar spikes and persistent cravings? Learn how a protein-rich breakfast can set the tone for balanced blood sugar levels throughout your day, reducing those intense cravings and hunger pangs. Our conversation is packed with practical strategies, like cutting back on treats and making healthier food choices easily accessible.

Up to 18% of pregnant women are affected by gestational diabetes. Lily provides expert guidance on maintaining a balanced macronutrient intake, prioritizing protein and vegetables, and ensuring excellent nutrient status before and during pregnancy.

The episode was recorded on the breathtaking Holy Island of Lindisfarne, United Kingdom, where the Vikings first invaded the UK, an island you can only drive to in low tide. It was a great experience to visit, but it had a poor internet connection, so unfortunately, the audio quality of this episode is a little inadequate. 

🗓️ Recorded September 10th, 2024. 📍 The Holy Island of Lindisfarne, United Kingdom
