Mindful eating. Pregnancy cravings. Weight gain, queso fresco, and body image. This episode we're diving into nutrition during pregnancy and how to use intuitive eating to guide your food choices as you nourish both yourself and another human. McKenzie Caldwell, RDN and owner of Feed Your Zest Nutrition and Wellness is here to give you facts about why dieting won't work and BMI was never a good indicator of health (spoiler: it was invented by an astronomer!). So grab a piece of cake and get ready to listen to all the cool ways your body is sending you messages about what nutrition you need so you can grow that baby!
