The Comprehensive Pregnancy & Postpartum Nutrition Guidebook consist of 60 pages filled with information, research, and guidance to help you navigate pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and postpartum with all of the resources I wish I could have found in one place when I was pregnant. It includes food-based guidance, nutrition therapy, herbals, and homeopathic remedies to support you from as many modalities as possible.

Not only do we cover pregnancy nutrition guidelines in depth as well as recommended supplementation to optimize the health of you and your baby during pregnancy, but also provides multiple recommendations for relief of a myriad of symptoms common during pregnancy. You’ll learn all about the stages of labor, how birth works from a hormonal perspective (to include synthetic hormones), and how to set your baby up for lifelong health. We also cover postpartum nutrition in depth to promote healing and nutrient replenishment so you can be the best mom possible for your little one.
