"Your protein needs increase by 50% during pregnancy"

Today we welcome Prenatal Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Crysta Pollitt. As a mother, she empowers women through sharing the tools necessary to make the best plant-based choices around food and diet for their health, the planet, and animal welfare. Crysta specializes in nutrition for Early Life, also known as the first 1000 days. This is the life stage from pre-conception, through pregnancy, up to around age two. Nutrition and healthy eating are most important during this time- for pregnant women, babies, and mothers- setting the stage for optimal health throughout life. She shares with us not only is plant-based eating safe for pregnancy, but also the many benefits that come with it!
