Preconception Planning
Whether you're planning to conceive in the future, are currently trying to conceive, or have been experiencing issues becoming or staying pregnant, I can help. Nutrition has been shown to have a positive influence on improving and/or enhancing fertility, in both males and females, especially when done proactively in the months (and even years) leading up to conception. We have a unique opportunity to influence the health of our future children by preparing for pregnancy. For more information on how you can do this for yourself, check out Pregnancy Prep Roadmap!
Period Problems
Do you suffer from menstrual cramps, PMS, or heavy periods? Unfortunately, these menstrual cycle issues are common, but they're not normal. I see the menstrual cycle as a vital sign from the body that can tell us if your hormones, metabolism, digestion, etc. are functioning properly. Implementing dietary and lifestyle changes can often help to alleviate many of these symptoms so you can experience regular, healthy periods.
If you're currently on or have ever been on birth control, you could probably benefit from nutrition support to assist your body in healing, as birth control is known to negatively impact our health and metabolism in various ways.
Prenatal Nutrition
So many amazing things are happening within your body during pregnancy. You're literally growing a new life! All of these metabolic changes require extra energy, vitamins, and minerals from the food you eat. Since your nutrient needs are increased, this also increases the risk of potential nutrient deficiencies. The best way to monitor if you are meeting your nutrient requirements is to work with a Prenatal Dietitian. Giving your body adequate nutrition during pregnancy will increase the likelihood of a healthy baby, positive delivery experience, and optimal recovery during the postpartum period. Nutrition coaching can also help in alleviating some common pregnancy complaints, such as nausea, constipation, heartburn, excess weight gain, preeclampsia, and more.
Postpartum Nutrition
Nutrition is just as important after pregnancy. Your energy needs may be increased if you're breastfeeding and your nutrient needs remain high so your body can heal from pregnancy and childbirth. Postpartum is actually a common place where nutrient depletion might occur as new moms typically do not have the capacity to take care of themselves like they used to. As a Dietitian, I can help with determining the best foods to eat for postpartum recovery, providing meal ideas that are easy to prepare during the busy postpartum phase, and support sustainable postpartum weight loss.
