Fish in pregnancy is one of the highest-impact foo Fish in pregnancy is one of the highest-impact foods… but the advice around it is so messy that most people either worry endlessly or avoid it altogether.

Not good!

Guidance to “limit seafood intake” is outdated and will leave you deficient in nutrients such as DHA, iodine, vitamin D, selenium, and more.

🍵 Herbs in pregnancy are a BIG grey area, i.e. we simply don’t have the data one way or the other, which is why there really isn’t a “yes” or “no” on many.

That being said, there are certain herbs that have been used for centuries in and outside of pregnancy that have shown little to no adverse outcomes in pregnancy, or only adverse outcomes when consumed in very large amounts (much more than 1 cup of tea!).
