Fertility health is an area rife with nutrition misinformation and opportunistic influencers. 💸💸💸
I have registered dietitian Rachelle Mallik on the pod, and she is here to share her vast knowledge of nutrition and reproductive health!
Rachelle’s experience while pregnant left her wishing there was more support and information on nutrition for pregnant people.
She shares the journey that led her to start her private practice focusing on reproductive health.
In this episode, we discuss:

• How to spot misinformation and who to seek information from
• Differences and similarities in nutrition for pregnancy and postpartum
• Uncoupling weight and pregnancy
• Areas to focus on during pregnancy that are not weight-centric
• Busting some of the myths around PCOS

Whether the topic we cover today directly relates to you, you will appreciate how well-versed Rachelle is in her field of work!
