Training for Pregnancy is NOT a new concept you gu

Training for Pregnancy is NOT a new concept you guys….

I’ve actually been talking about this (nutrition for planning for pregnancy) since 2018 on this page and I know others that have been talking about it since then as well.

If you think “pregnancy prep” is just “another thing for women” to do or feel guilty about, you’re thinking about it entirely wrong.

Instead, you are:

✅ getting intentional about your health before pregnancy
✅ ensuring your partner is in it too (it’s 50/50 at this point)
✅ making food your foundation first - a prenatal can help fix deficiencies and fill gaps
✅ rejecting any form of “detox” diet or restricting
✅ confident about managing any current conditions
✅ getting comprehensive blood work to ensure you do not have any conditions or deficiencies that would effect a pregnancy

It’s really about becoming your best you.

Physically, mentally, spiritually - in any and all ways! 🌸

Drop a 💛 if you’re in the 3rd trimester!

At this stage, you may be full fast, more tired again, and wondering how you’re supposed to fit in the nutrients that matter most before baby arrives.

That’s exactly why I love focusing on simple, nutrient-dense meals in the 3rd trimester.

So rather than trying to figure out what matters most on your own, you can open the app and know exactly where to start.

Inside The Prenatal Nutrition Library App, you’ll get:
🥑 Recipes specifically high in nutrients like iron, omega-3s, protein, and magnesium for the 3rd trimester
🤰🏽 The 3rd trimester “cheat sheet”, top foods list, and recipes!
📅 A weekly meal plan tailored to your exact week of pregnancy
👩‍⚕️ Instant, trusted answers to any food or ingredient

→ Less guessing. More confidence. More support for you and baby in the final stretch.

These are all heme sources of iron….the kind fou

These are all heme sources of iron….the kind found in animal foods that your body absorbs most efficiently!

🌱 Some plants (like lentils, spinach, and pumpkin seeds) also contain iron, but in the non-heme form, which isn’t absorbed as well.

That’s why eating a mix of both is key, but if you’re struggling with low iron or anemia, heme sources are your main focus.

Want to know exactly how to raise your iron levels and avoid (or fix) anemia?

@theprenatalnutritionlibrary was made for you!
