| 0:04.3 | up. There's a lot in motherhood that we can't control, but your nutrition, that's a powerful |
| 0:08.9 | place to start. That's why I've been raving about the company needed. I wish I'd had needed |
| 0:13.8 | when I was in that chapter. Their starter plan is a total game changer, a comprehensive prenatal |
| 0:19.4 | multi, plus the high quality omega-3 designed to meet |
| 0:22.7 | the real nutritional demands of pregnancy and beyond. It's not the bare minimum stuff that most |
| 0:27.3 | prenatals offer. This is optimal evidence-based nourishment that actually supports mom and baby. |
| 0:32.9 | Trusted by over 6,000 women's health practitioners from midwives to obese, they're raising the bar for women's |
