Nourish Your Plant-Based Pregnancy with Brenda Davis - PTP383

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk with Brenda Davis all about plant-based pregnancy and her new book Nourish. If you are wondering if a plant-based pregnancy is safe, what the risks are, and how to make sure you are getting all your micronutrients, then you will not be disappointed. Brenda gives scientific support on how to manage a plant-based pregnancy and if a raw food diet should even be an option. And of course, she talks about the best options for formula if breastfeeding is a non-option and what you need to know about solids, fats, and nuts when the baby starts eating foods. Please share this with anyone in childbearing years (or their parents), as this knowledge is very important for them.  Brenda needs no introduction as she has been a guest on the show before and is so widely known and respected... But here is what you should know in case she is new to you. Brenda Davis, registered dietitian, is a pioneer in plant-based nutrition and an internationally acclaimed speaker. As a prolific nutrition and health writer, she has co-authored 12 books with nearly a million copies in print in 15 languages.
