Pregnancy Nutrition DOs & DONTs (without the Fearmongering Diet Culture) with Dr. Jess Knurick

In todays episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I chat with Dr Jessica Knurick, a fellow registered dietitian who specializes in pregnancy nutrition with a PhD in physical activity, nutrition and wellness. We will be discussing how diet culture and wellness culture loves to pray on pregnant people. We will chat about the actual impact of mom’s diet during pregnancy on baby’s health and development, and which foods you should absolutely avoid vs which are a risk/benefit analysis. We will be debunking myths around the glucose tolerance test and so called “toxins” in baby formula (and Jess will explain why they include sugar and seed oils). And we will chat about when to be concerned about pregnancy weight gain, and tips for making peace with your changing body and food. Note: This episode includes exclusive woman language, but we acknowledge that not everyone who is a mother or experiences pregnancy identify as a woman.
