Maternal Nutrition with Allegra Gast
Did you know that minerals are your body’s spark plugs? Allegra explains to us what the definition of a mineral drink versus an adrenal cocktail is and how those can help us get out of our tiredness slump. She also helps us understand which minerals our body might be depleted in.
Allegra goes over what the hair test is and why it is superior to a urine or blood test. She goes over my depletions and what recommendations she had to help me start feeling better. I even go over how I got so emotional when she was going over my results with me.
In this episode we focus on things you can do right now, if you are currently pregnant, that will allow you to optimize your well being. So often we are told what not to eat as far as nutrition goes but Allegra shares what you should be adding to your diet instead.

When someone in our community becomes pregnant, has a baby, and journeys through postpartum there is no question that life changes.

I welcomed my friend Allegra Gast, lactation consultant and birth doula, on the episode today to talk through how we can better host and support those in our communities in these seasons.
