Sustenance For The Pregnant Woman

What and how much should you eat and drink during pregnancy, while in labor, and immediately postpartum? Learn how to balance your meals with sufficient fats, carbs, and proteins, and more importantly, what that actually looks like on your plate. We get as detailed as what types of fish or cheese you can eat or should avoid. Mary Jane Detroyer, a Registered Dietitian and Exercise Physiologist, tackles some practical questions on nutrition and pregnancy. In our conversation, Mary Jane challenges social media influencers who may talk about getting your “body back after birth” and tells you some truths on the natural way your body recovers postpartum. Her mission is to motivate and empower her clients to improve their health and quality of life by increasing awareness and incorporating mindfulness when making exercise, diet and lifestyle changes.
