Encore: Eating real food during and after pregnancy with Lily Nichols

What does "eat well" during pregnancy really mean? What is the difference between micro and macronutrients, and how to make sure my body is getting everything it needs to make sure my baby is developing well? What are the best foods, and what to avoid, according to recent research? Can I trust the conventional prenatal guidelines when it comes to nutrition? I am getting enough protein in my prenatal diet? What is choline, and why is important for fetus development? What about food cravings, what do they mean (and should I listen to them)? What if I crave junk food? If I follow a vegetarian or vegan diet during pregnancy, will my baby get all the nutrients he/she needs? What is gestational diabetes and what can I do to prevent it? Joins us as we chat with Lily Nichols, a registered dietitian/nutritionist, and certified diabetes educator to learn more about nutrition before, during, and after pregnancy.

As parents, we often forget to prioritize our emotional well-being. Numerous studies show us that if we don't do this, it trickles down to our kids and they begin to struggle with their emotional health and behavior.  Join Montreal-based neuroscientist and mom of 3 Dr. Cindy Hovington as she breaks down the science of parental emotional well-being and how parents can safeguard their child's emotional health. Cindy interviews guests specialized in emotional and mental health such as Dr. Bruce Perry, Dr. Marc Brackett, and Dr. Ramani Durvasula. Cindy also shares how she applies the science of emotion regulation, mindfulness and self-compassion to guide her own parenting journey. Follow Cindy on Instagram @curious_neuron and email her at  [email protected]  (let her know if you leave a rating and review!)Articles, Academy, Research and Speaking Engagements and more  at curiousneuron.com
