Summary
Have you ever wondered what to look for in a prenatal? Ryan Woodbury is the cofounder of Needed, an amazing company that is changing the prenatal game. She answers all of your questions this episode about what to look for in a prenatal, what to avoid, and what to add in supplementation.
Through navigating her fertility and nutrition journey, she realized most prenatal nutrition information and products fall far short of empowering real nourishment for mamas-to-be. Needed empowers women to meet their biochemical nutritional needs, and to find nourishment beyond nutrition through better products, better identification of nutrition needs, education and community to support nourishment beyond nutritional needs alone.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Maracos Mama's podcast. I'm your host Elizabeth Joy and we believe |
| 0:10.1 | in empowering people through storytelling and education. And I'm so glad that you're |
| 0:13.7 | here. I'm really pumped about today's podcast. We have on Ryan, who is a co-founder of Needed |
| 0:19.3 | and we're going to talk all about prenatals, what to look for in them, what to avoid, how |
| 0:25.3 | it's feeling in nutritional gaps and they're going to tell us all about, well, Ryan's |
| 0:30.5 | going to tell us all about their amazing company. And it's the prenatal that I've been taking |
| 0:36.4 | since May. I didn't take it with my first pregnancy. I didn't know about it. And then I found |
| 0:43.5 | it and I was like, like, crap, this product is amazing. And just the amount of care and |
| 0:49.0 | research and sourcing and everything that goes into it is very wild, dosing everything. |
| 0:58.9 | So I'm so excited that they agreed to come on the podcast and excited to share that |
| 1:04.4 | information with you. Before we dive in, I promise that I would share about us having |

| 1:48.1 | a headache for like a day or two. And then his did kind of turn into like some congestion |
| 1:54.3 | and coughing as well. And then Joe, we didn't have any symptoms for several days. And then |
| 1:59.7 | one day she spiked a fever of 103 and she was 103 all day and just a little grumpy. And |
| 2:08.4 | then she woke up the next day with no fever, but was still just kind of tired, napped a |
| 2:13.4 | little more wanting to nurse a lot more and just kind of a little clean me. And then she |
| 2:20.6 | was fine. So so we all did end up getting COVID, which it just seems like this time around, |
