Hey mammas-to-be, how is your nutrition going?

It goes without question that a woman’s nutrition before and during pregnancy influences the health of her baby. Proper nutrition ensures that a woman is taking in the necessary nutrients to feel healthy, have energy, and reduce the risks of compromised fetal development.

Poor nutrition can be an indirect cause of gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure and organ system damage) and increase risk of Cesarean sections; and a direct cause of anemia, low birth weight and other health concerns.

It is also very important to remember that nutrition is much more than obtaining a certain amount of vitamins and minerals. It involves a balance of micronutrients, macronutrients and an abundance of phytonutrients.

We know during these unprecedented times, nutrition sometimes is the last thing on our minds; that's why we are here to keep you engaged and healthy during your pregnancy. Reach out for support!

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Mon

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. To anyone who has endured the immense pain of losing a child far too soon, we extend our hearts to you.

Sadly, 1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss and can be devastating, especially since women often bond with the their babies before they are actually born. In fact, many women feel a bond as soon as they know they are pregnant.

If you are bereaved and don’t where to turn, here are some resources for you.

This week we have @drjwund’s special recipe.

The change of season from fall to winter is always a sign for me to start changing things up in the kitchen too. I like to kick off this time of year by making a batch of “Change of Season” soup!

“Change of Season” soup is a Traditional Chinese Medicine formulation that helps to protect the lungs and immune system from the changing temperatures by using 4 essential herbs: Codonopsis root, Astragalus root, Dioscorea root & Lycium berries⁠.

" I like to combine it with a good ol’ fashioned chicken bone broth so that I get the best of both worlds to protect ourselves from any colds, flus and infections. Slow cooking bones, vegetables and herbs allows for the extraction of so many great nutrients and proteins which in turn boost your immune system and digestion.

Enjoy this tasty way to ramp up your immunity!

Ingredients:
4 sticks Astragalus root (Huang Qi)
4 sticks Codonopsis pilosula root (Dang Shen)
4 sticks Dioscorea villosa root (Chinese wild yam)
Small handful Lycium barbarum (Goji berries aka wolfberries)
Chicken bones - carcass from roasted chicken, 1lb extra chicken feet, leftover bones from previous dinners that I’ve saved and frozen)
2 celery sticks, roughly chopped
2 carrots, roughly chopped
1 onion, roughly chopped
Small handful of peppercorns
Pinch of salt
Any other odds and ends of vegetables from the crisper or veggie scraps
8-10 cups of water

If using an instant pot, then sauté all the vegetables and herbs for 5 minutes or until onions are translucent.
Chuck everything else in and pour enough water to cover everything.
Reset IP to soup setting for 60 min.

If using a slow cooker, then just toss everything in and set it on low overnight.

If cooking stove top, then sauté vegetables for 5 min then cook everything for 2 hours.

Strain and use broth for stews, soups, or as a hot drink alternative to coffee or tea.

Let me know if soup making is a tradition in your family around this time too!"
