This is no different when it comes to nutrition, which is why I invited a registered dietician to answer your questions. Katy specifically talks about foods that optimize fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum breastfeeding. Every woman’s body is different, but the simple recommendations she gives can promote health while your body is preparing and changing before and during pregnancy.
