Nourishing Your Baby Begins With Your Plate
Imagine discovering that what you eat during pregnancy could prevent your child from developing diabetes, obesity, or mental health issues decades later. This isn't wishful thinking-it's the revolutionary premise behind real food for pregnancy. The conventional prenatal nutrition guidelines haven't substantially changed in decades despite significant scientific advances. While standard advice limits meat, saturated fat, and seafood while promoting grains and carbohydrates, both traditional wisdom and modern research tell a different story. Traditional cultures worldwide prioritized nutrient-dense animal foods during pregnancy-consuming animals "nose-to-tail," prizing fatty cuts, seeking seafood, and eating far fewer carbohydrates than currently recommended. This wasn't random; these foods provide the very nutrients most commonly lacking in modern prenatal diets: vitamins A, B12, B6, zinc, iron, DHA, iodine, and choline. The science of fetal programming demonstrates that inadequate nutrition during pregnancy can permanently affect your baby's metabolic development and increase their lifetime disease risk. Even with genetic predispositions, optimal nutrition can minimize negative impacts; conversely, poor diet can compromise even favorable genetics. As one scientist puts it: "The 9 months of pregnancy are the most consequential period of our lives, permanently influencing the wiring of the brain, the functioning of organs, and all the body's systems."
