QUESTIONS I ASK RYANN IN THE EPISODE:

What’s your story? (Specifically, what led you to become a registered dietician with an interest in prenatal nutrition?)

What are some of the biggest myths when it comes to pregnancy diet and nutrition? 

How does healthy eating when pregnant (or trying to conceive) differ from healthy eating in general?

What’s the correlation (if any) between infertility and nutrition?

What are some of the most bang-for-your-buck foods you can eat to ensure you’re getting enough nutrients while trying to conceive and pregnant?

When it comes to a "pregnancy diet," what are some foods to limit? Do you recommend cutting any out completely? Specifically, what about coffee (caffeine), seafood, packaged lettuce, cheese, sushi, shellfish, processed meat, fermented, and wine?

We often hear the advice, “Take a prenatal vitamin.” Is that enough?

What’s the difference between folic acid and folate? Which is best in a prenatal?

Is there a specific prenatal vitamin you recommend?

Do you have to eat a lot more than usual to “eat for two?”

Let’s talk about food cravings! How can someone healthfully address those, especially if they’re craving things like cake, cookies, and ice cream?
