Hello, and welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition's Ask a Nutritionist podcast brought to you by

nutritional weight and wellness. My name is Leah Klein-Trote. I'm a registered and licensed

dietitian, and this podcast strives to help people

around the world make the connection between what they eat and how they feel. Thank you all for

your support and listenership over the years. And if you're enjoying this show, let us know by leaving

a rating and review on your favorite podcast platform. Your feedback

helps others find these important real food messages. So on today's show, I'll be answering a

question that we received from one of our Dishing Up Nutrition listeners. This listener actually

left us a voicemail message a while back. So yay and thank you.

And I think a lot of her questions were covered in recent Ask a Nutritionist episodes,

but she did have one lingering question at the end of her voicemail that I wanted to share

and answer today.

So this listener asks, in terms of nutritional advice and support for mothers

who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have young kids, what resources did you turn to yourself

as a dietitian? There's a lot out there on the internet, and I just haven't known exactly what resources

to turn to.

So I love this question.

It gets us down to brass tacks.

You know, we as dietitians, we may know a lot about food and we help clients with a variety

of nutrition issues, but that doesn't mean we still don't need help, guidance, or just someone

to give us some confidence or tell us that we're doing a good job in terms of nourishing our

bodies during these really unique stages in life and then to help nourish our children's bodies
