We don’t talk enough about nutrition before, during, and after this...
Pregnancy.
And we really don’t talk enough about how much the gut influences every part of that journey... for mum and for baby.
This week, one of our nutritionists we have been working with, Manca, pulled together an incredibly detailed breakdown of the key vitamins and minerals mums need at each stage. Pre-conception. Pregnancy. Post-partum. And the “why” behind them, the functions, the risks, the interactions.
It’s honestly brilliant work.
And it hits home a point I keep stressing:
There is no replacement for real, whole food.
❌No powder.
❌No shake.
❌No supplement “stack.”
Whole foods aren’t just nutrients... they contain synergistic compounds that interact together, help the body absorb more, support the gut lining, influence hormones, and modulate the microbiome.
That’s the stuff you can’t engineer into a scoop.
And when we’re talking about pregnancy, we’re talking about growth in the truest sense.
Growth of cells. Growth of tissue. Growth of a new nervous system, new metabolism, new brain.
Your gut and your nutrition form part of that foundation.
And for mums, so does recovery afterwards, energy, mood, iron levels, hormone regulation, gut integrity, resilience.
It’s a huge transition, and far too many women go into it depleted.
This is why I’m proud of the work we’re doing.
And proud of the work Manca has done here.
Because we can support mums long before pregnancy even happens… and long after the baby is here.
In some cases, we can support children before they’re even born. That’s powerful.
If you know a mum-to-be, someone trying to conceive, someone pregnant now, or someone struggling post-partum, this might genuinely help them.
We’ve put together:
• A full blog (can view on our website)
• A FREE downloadable nutritional guide
• Straightforward guidance based on evidence and whole-food principles
It’s all on our website, ready to share.
Because this isn’t about trends.
This is about helping families grow, healthier, stronger, and supported from day one.
