What if you could arm yourself with the knowledge to provide the best care for your baby before they're even born? This provocative question sets the stage for our lively discussion with Bridgitte Mallinson, a registered dietitian who specializes in prenatal nutrition and gut health and CEO of Gut Personal. We chat about her journey to becoming an expert in her own body and discuss how nutrition is a vital aspect of prenatal health and postpartum recovery. Bridgitte is here to answer all your burning questions about prenatal supplements and what to focus on nutrition-wise during pregnancy.

We further discuss the significance of prenatal supplements and why it's crucial to start taking them at least six months before planning a pregnancy. Bridgitte shares her experience formulating her very own prenatal supplement and emphasizes the importance of testing these supplements for heavy metals. She also highlights the necessity of having enough of the right nutrients and methylated B vitamins in a prenatal supplement. To complement the nutritional advice, we delve into the world of gut health and how it directly impacts fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery.

Our conversation with Bridgitte doesn't stop at nutrition and gut health. We also get a glimpse into her personal life as she shares her ambitious goal of being a successful entrepreneur and a dedicated mom. She stresses the importance of empowerment and personal wellness on this journey. By the end of this episode, you'll be inspired to take charge of your own health, make informed decisions about prenatal nutrition, and possibly even become a badass entrepreneur yourself.
