Description

If you're wondering, "What prenatal should I take?" you're not alone! I hear this question all the time. And the answer, naturally, is "it depends!" Very rarely in nutrition are broad public health nutrition recommendations clear-cut and applicable to all. This is true for choosing a prenatal supplement with folic acid or folate. It's essential to consider what you're eating, how you're supplementing, and your personal health history to determine what's best for your pregnancy.  I'll share a quick story about a mildly upsetting email I received last week in today's episode. I feel it's important to share this experience with you because it highlights where I stand as a healthcare provider and vegan dietitian. Enjoy!
